January 2023. Easy Rider poster hanging in my living room. Important music coming back to influence life❤

One of the saddest endings to any film I have seen. It was the only time I ever left a packed cinema in total silence.

The ending left me infuriated, and horrified, and I did not fully understand it, or WHY they were butchered, at 13 years old. I most certainly can understand that happening nowadays though, in this current 'climate' in which our country is consumed. :( :(

The original ending that was planned for the movie was for Billy and Wyatt to buy a boat with the money they earned and travel across the ocean. I don't know how it turned out to be this way.

Hard to believe that Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper are gone. That movie seems like only a little while ago to me but it was over 50 years ago. Time is like a river and the further down it you get, the faster it flows.

I saw this movie late night at Janus Theatre in Greensboro. I can't believe my parents allowed me to stay out that late maybe 1971-1972. The guy I was hanging out with that night. I haven't seen in 45+ years and I have no clue where he is. That movie Theatre is no more too. Progress? When you get older your mind begins to wonder about your youth. There were a lot of crazy movies out between 1970-1972. My mother would have been living then too. Just lost her in the end of June.

I hope they play this at my funeral

I saw this when I was 16 it shaped my life for good or bad it still moves me to this day

I am 17, but I still had the pleasure of seeing this in theatres. That night. That night.

Bob Dylan often recorded and wrote uncredited (his choice, he’s a mysterious guy, obviously. He co-wrote this with McGuinn and did that, and also plays on George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass” album. So much talent!

I just heard that in a commentary by Roger over on Spotify. Dylan wrote the basics and gave it to Fonda and he gave it to McGuinn. Very cool musicians back then. Definitely about the art.

There are a few songs that tell you what America is all about. This is one of them. And there are a few movies that do the same, and Easy Rider is one of them. Thank you, Peter Fonda - you defined America.

Just a few weeks ago I posted a recent interview with Peter Fonda about the impact of Easy Rider some 50-years later.Peter Fonda in Easy Rider is a counterculture image as quintessentially American as the Statue of Liberty. When asked today if Easy Rider is still relevant, Fonda says, "Go look out the window and tell me we haven't blown it."

Great film, great song, go in peace Peter.

I like this song a lot!

a classic gem of a ballad of a masterpiece of song and voice and river and a whole lot of tears to go with it a heart felted motor cycle riding to and through the rocky mountains and Plato's and tall timber trees and bushes and shrubs and lakes and rivers and oceans goodness what a journey for two buddies that are more like brothers just to discover the Land we all come to know and love 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.

I was in the back of my friend Mike's mother's car while he made out with Brenda. Whatever I'd taken was kicking my rear. I think it nearly killed me. Peter and Dennis and Jack were creating the real culture on a drive in screen. I barely knew where I was but I remembered all of the scenes, felt the power that was for a fleeting moment there for all of us. Now Peter is gone like Dennis, like the moment. Time is running short, if there has been any progress I'm pretty sure it's hiding somewhere. God bless Peter Fonda.
