Up late the other night, just scanning the boob tube I ran across the start of "Easy Rider". Old 1969 film with Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson. For some reason I had to watch it as I had the opportunity to meet and have lunch with Dennis Hopper back in 1995 when they were filming "Waterworld". In person Dennis was a quite and humble man.
He was interested in astronomy so I gave him a tour of my facility. Pretty knowledgeable guy.
While having lunch I told him I thought "Easy Rider" was funny. I told him the only time I saw the movie was when I was a young fellow around 1976. He told me, well what would a young lad like yourself find so funny about it?
I told him, "well in the end, when you got shot off your bike!".... He looked at me with this serious expression on his face then started the most humorous chuckle I've ever heard. He said, " Yeah, I guess that would be pretty funny to a 13 year old".
Rest in piece my friend.
