Easy Rider - Intro - Born to be wild!

Easy rider: movie introduction.
You know I've smoked a lot of grass
O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills
But I never touched nothin'
That my spirit could kill

I am a child of the 60s. I remember the moon landing when I was 4 years old. I am glad I lived through those times, and had the opportunity to enjoy the freedom, free education, a great sense of beauty in the world without constraints as a child, no Internet or mobile phone. Just friendships forged at school, lighting fires in the woods, football the park, not a care in the world growing up. I am so pleased that I had a wonderful childhood. You only get that once.

Grew up in the 60s and 70s and this is the first song on a 45 that I bought in my now extensive music collection.

I can imagine the rush of adrenaline of the kids listening this hardcore rock song at the theater. This movie was released in 1969, in the hippie era, during Vietnam War, right after Hendrix released Electric Ladyland, after the “Summer of love”, and the same year of Abbey Road, Led Zeppelin I and II, Woodstock, the moonlanding, and the Manson murders. Those years other jewels such as The Heat of the Night, 2001 A Space Oddissey, Rosemary’s Baby, and The Night of the Living Dead were released. All those movies were gamechangers.

Just think, we've heard "Born To Be Wild" so many times throughout the decades; in films, classic rock radio, etc. But this was the first time it had ever been used in a movie, a movie that represented the counterculture. It must've been so awesome to hear that start playing when you went to see this in the theaters. Just like "Yeah! This is OUR music!"

[@CaneFu]

I saw this movie when it first showed in my local theater in 1969. I was 13 years old and my friend and I were able to get in to see R-rated movies at the theater whenever a particular old lady was selling tickets out front as she didn't seem to care, although anyone else stopped us. As luck would have it, she was working the ticket booth that Saturday afternoon and we went right in and got our seats in the middle of the theater. There was an obvious group of bikers sitting a couple of rows in front of us, all wearing MC vests with patches, and they all had sunglasses setting on top of their long hair. When this scene came on and "Born To Be Wild" started playing, all the bikers started cheering and hollering at once, it was great. It was at that moment that I realized I would eventually be riding a Harley too and 50 years later I still am. Incidentally, July 14, 2019 is the 50th anniversary of this movie and it will be shown in 400 theaters nationwide....so you can have the chance to experience what I did if you missed it the first time around.

I think I went to the Odeon and watched Easy Rider three times. The music blew me away, especially the Byrd's "I Wasn't Born To Follow" . The movie was shot on a nothing budget, and they had to beg unknown actors, such as Jack Nicholson to appear in it for little pay. The movie was such a success that it made Peter Fonda and a few others multimillionaires. Well deserved, too. I read that Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper hated riding those choppers. They found them exceedingly dangerous

"We blew it. Good night, man." RIP Pete Fonda, coolest dude ever.

[@kaleidoscopex7213]

Thank you Mr Fonda for what true Americana 60’s style is. Hippies on bikes will forever be a inspiration for me. I’ll show my kids this film when their older

[@KJL995]

I watched that movie, when I was (just) a kid. A kid in High School. I've never worn a watch, since. 😁 It also motivated me into building my first, chopper, later on. But, I didn't use a Harley panhead motor/trans. (It was too expensive.) I used a Kawasaki 1000 motor/trans. I threw it all into a rigid, frame with a 18" overstock, front end. A springer front end. The ride was BONE JARRING, to say the least. But, fun! 😂 "Ride to Live. Live to Ride." Thanks for the memories, Krzysztof Zajkowski. 😁 Take care.

[@Mooncat222]

one of the best - sad to say goodbye to such a 60's icon ! bless him x

[@entrails4610]

NEVER A FILM.LIKE THIS ONE.REST IN PEACE PETER FONDA AND ALL AMERICA.

[@goback3spaces]

My favorite credit: "Starring (in alphabetical order)." This is the filmmakers' subtle way of informing you that they're not too stoned that they can't put some names in alphabetical order.

Easy Rider Forever...and what a ride you took us on. RIP Peter Fonda

One of the best rock singers ever; John Kay belts it out with some Soul

[@williamsomerville-tu9nf]

Music from my generation the best that ever happened. Long live live music.

[@gregallen7586]

Get your motor runnin’ Head out on the highway Lookin’ for adventure And whatever comes our way Yeah Darlin’ go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space I like smoke and lightning Heavy metal thunder Racin’ with the wind And the feelin’ that I’m under Yeah Darlin’ go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space Like a true nature’s child We were born, born to be wild We can climb so high I never wanna die Born to be wild Born to be wild

[@ricardoposada9112]

Unforgettable music and unforgettable movie.

Jon Kay & Steppenwolf live at Harvey casino Council Bluffs, Iowa, back in the 90's. What a show, and it was FREE with a players club card.

[@curtlain4934]

I re-watched the film a month ago, having first seen it in 1984, then three nights ago I downloaded the soundtrack and listened to it. The next day I saw that Peter Fonda had died. The film was as great as it was the first time I watched it and the soundtrack is amazing. May he continue to travel free, xx

[@TooLooze]

John Kay of Stepphewolf is an extraordinary friendly and humble person. His music rocked the day. RIP Peter.

[@geraroda2868]

Sure, but his true name is Joachim Fritz Krauledat, in Germanized version, but Kraulėdaitis in original Lithuanian, and he was born in Lithuanian-Prussian border town Tilžė, in 12 April 1944, renamed to Sovietsk, after Soviet occupation of Lithuania, and Lithuania Minor.

[@TooLooze]

@@geraroda2868 Yes, his heritage has never been a secret or anything.

[@Callipygous1975]

FYI: Don't know if people are implying that John Kay wrote this one, but he didn't.

[@bwtv147]

This always makes me think of Dennis in his later years on TV talk shows complaining that he was still waiting for those LSD flashbacks they promised in the 60s.

[@fisf33]

RIP. man. Born to be wild. Gone to be free.

[@mr.j.perala2861]

This is still a great movie, what show to me why is good to born to be wild. R.I.P. Peter Fonda. And Dennis Hopper, who also direct this classic picture.

[@David-fs3ge]

When he throws the watch on the ground. It's like all them past and present events in his life. Are left behind

[@roadstar92220]

This was my favorite movie in those days.

[@dominik8788]
