Easy Rider was a good movie, but I hated the ending. I was in high school then.

Probably 15 years ago, we saw John Kay and Steppenwolf live at a local festival. They really rocked; it was obvious they hadn't just been sitting around all those years. John Kay was spot on with his vocals and leads, he had a whole rack of Rickenbachers on stage that he chose from. His guitar tech was busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest.

For the encore, they did "The Pusher." I knew that's what it had to be because they hadn't done it yet.

Henry, Peter, Jane, Bridget, quite a family. Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, Cannonball Run, Wanda Nevada, and so many more.
The original Dukes of Hazzard.

Good ol' American International Pictures, '60's cheese merchants supreme.
Roger Corman's studio of choice, and be glad of it.
:biggrin-new:
Hunter Thompson was living with the Angels at the time and they taught him everything he needed to know to write "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", but "Hells Angels" was still about 18 months away from publication when the film was released in happy carefree '66.
