Easy Rider – Get your motor running

I saw Peter Fonda on television yesterday – he was on some entertainment show. I die a little inside watching these shows, was waiting to head out the door and turned on the television. Those entertainment programs make me dizzy with all their fast talking, fast camera moving and quirky body movements.

Anyway…like I said – I saw Peter Fonda last night and I’m pretty sure he was hammered. (whatever) Seeing him reminded me of Easy Rider. The 60’s (minus racism, etc.) was one of my favorite eras – wish I was older then. Pretty sure I wouldn’t have been a “stinkin” hippie, for sure I’d protest internally about authority and for sure I’d have been out there searching for spiritual freedom…or at least freedom.

“This used to be a hell of a good country. I can’t understand what’s gone wrong with it.”

I like how “Wyatt” (Fonda) symbolically throws aways his watch.
Steppenwolf rocks.
Styling sunglasses.
