I saw Easy Rider a week before I shipped off to Vietnam, and bought the soundtrack on cassette tape. I listened to it at least once a day during my tour. Hendrix, Steppenwolf, and songs written by Bob Dylan and the Band. Wow.

Haven't seen the movie since, but what an impression. Motorcycles (and women) is all we talked about in Nam. Easy Rider came out a year after the biggest and deadliest race riots in the country. The movie is all about bigotry, and that's what gets them in the end. My library has the DVD and I just put a hold on it. Thanks for reminding me of it.
