“The End” made an appearance on The Doors’ 1967 self titled album, after evolving through months of performances at Los Angeles’ Whisky a Go Go.  The Doors’ charismatic and prolific frontman Jim Morrison stated in 1969, “It started out as a simple good-bye song…. Probably just to a girl, but I see how it could be a goodbye to a kind of childhood. I really don’t know. I think it’s sufficiently complex and universal in its imagery that it could be almost anything you want it to be.”  The song also made a memorable appearance in Francis Ford Coppola’s surreal Vietnam War drama, Apocalypse Now.  I was listening to “The End” the other day at my best friend’s studio, telling her how Skrillex did a collaboration with The Doors last year, to which she questioned, “the ones that are still alive, right? Because Jim Morrison is dead!” I kindly reminded her that Jim Morrison is, in fact, immortal.
