“I knew Jim Morrison, in film school; he came to my house once–this was before he’d had a record out–with some acetates, demos, asking if I could help. I tried; I didn’t get anywhere. But the idea of using the Doors [in Apocalypse Now] came from ‘Light My Fire.’ That was from Milius: Kurtz’ people would play ‘Light My Fire’ through their loud­speakers, to jazz themselves up. In the end, there’s a battle, and North Vietnamese regulars come charging in to ‘Light My Fire.’ I went to the Philippines with that ending!” – Francis Ford Coppola, Rolling Stone interview, November 1, 1979
