Goodbye Capt. America.  I think I’ll be watching Easy Rider again this weekend.

Just finished watching Easy Rider and the “making of” documentary.  It really holds up.  And the soundtrack... maybe I’m the “get off my lawn” guy, but the music of 50 years ago (holy sh*t, can it really be FIFTY YEARS!) kicks ass on anything I hear on the radio today!

Bill, tgo

I haven't seen the documentary, but I thoroughly concur on all your other points, Bill.

Here's another Byrds tune from the movie and soundtrack, and also on The Notorious Byrd Brothers, Wasn't Born To Follow.  Both of these are long time favorites.
