"I was going to the worst place in the world and I didn't even know it yet. Weeks away and hundreds of miles up a river that snaked through the war like a main circuit cable -- plugged straight into Kurtz.
"It was no accident that I got to be the caretaker of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz's memory -- any more than being back in Saigon was an accident. There is no way to tell his story without telling my own. And if his story really is a confession, then so is mine. "
- Captain Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen, from "Apocalypse Now")
I walked across a bridge today over a canal that earily seemed as if I was being watched by Kurtz's men. Strange cooincidence reading your blog entry!
I know you remember watching the movie after the Who concert in my buddy's basement.

Yes, Tim, and I believe it was on one of those large laser discs that were all the rage for about a year.
