wistful dreams recalled
of daring easy riders
conjuring desire
I actually was a too young to have any thoughts about Easy Rider when it first came out but as a teenage I became obsessed with guys on motorcycles. And Peter Fonda on a bike-woo hoo! Probably a good thing I didn’t see the movie until years later (many years–I think I was in my 40s). Not sure if seeing the movie as a teen would have wrecked my obsession or not 😉 but I would have hated to miss out on that Fonda crush.
So thanks for the memories Ronovan Writes
Peter Fonda is still riding unfortunately Dennis Hopper is no longer with us. The movie its self was a whirl wind change of but definitely defined a change in what I perceived a road trip to be. I thought Jack Nicklaus was the unsung start of the movie…

He was good. (Jack). I assigned this movie 2-3 years ago in a class on the 1960s. It was interesting to hear how today’s 20 year olds reacted to it.
