Dead Page: Billy and Wyatt Go for a Ride

DENNIS HOPPER (1936-2010)

Maverick director and co-star in film classic "Easy Rider" and in many other movies.  The man with the bad-boy reputation, died at 74.

Made his film debut with James Dean in "Rebel Without a Cause."  Also in "Giant," "Cool Hand Luke" and "Apocalypse Now."  Like, "Man."

Nobody could play a stoner better than he.  Then, there was that "Easy Rider," one of my all-time favorite movies.  Talk about a roadtrip (some of it on Route 66) and, then there was that great soundtrack.  He was long-haired Billy with Peter Fonda's Captain America and that great role of Jack Nicholson.

I need to get a DVD or VHS of the movie.

They Hate What You Stand For.
