The Byrds- I Wasn't Born To Follow

[MrDoobie28]

OMG never realised that Dennis Hopper died---29 May 2010. This film had a huge impact

on me. Guess I was around 16 when I first saw it. Brilliant soundtrack as well.

( RIP Dennis ).

You could smoke in the cinemas in those days. I remember I always lit up a fag before Jack got killed and another one before Peter and Dennis were killed at the end.

[reddnec]

The music was better than Hoppers acting, thats for sure.

[Rumble625]

Or was it INDIANS, BULLFROGS, all of them?

[Rumble625]

Here's to old D.H. Lawrence....AAHHHH .....FIRECRACKERS.......

[jenniferfreedlangley]

He's The Man!

[mickeymousebiker1]

I remember when a clip from Easy Rider was shown at The Academy Awards in 1969. So long ago. Long may you run, Dennis. Merry Christmas 2011 to all!

[MrP00sy]

i showed my dad this video, and shortly afterwards i found out that im the son of an ex-biker

[flyovermidwest]

I love this song. I loved the movie. One of the best from the Byrds.

[montcalmwolfe]

Allways Beautifull.Charlie.

[eldaock]

nice song and bike...

[waldentree]

This, is America :D

[montcalmwolfe]

What a good team...Charlie.

[noreply45]

i would rather go and journey

[heliot58]

I've always loved the lyrics in this song. Especially the line, "..and wander through the forest, where the the trees have leaves of prisms that break the light in color's that no one knows the names of" So fucking cool! Thank you for posting!

[AClaVetvs]

Traveled through that places, my heart still there!

[raregeezer]

they blew it!

[TheTodd74]

Those rednecks killed those defenseless 'friends' of ours. They killed George (Jack), Billy (Dennis) and Wyatt aka 'Captain America' (Peter). Shame, they should have made it back but I guess they weren't expecting to either way...

[tootiredtocare1]

.... errrrr , it's just a film , man ........

[noreply45]

@tootiredtocare1 is now ?

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

how fitting the byrds music was in the film since fonda's charecter was based on roger mcguinn and hopper's was david crosby.

[2guntex]

IN 69 I Conformed to nothing,i thought i would write my own story easy rider was my benchmark,but little by little i towed the line and it never happened but HOW I WISH?

[maf5454]

@2guntex

Yeah, funny how “stuff” creeps up on you isn’t it? We don’t plan on growing up do we? So when that day comes to tell the “man” to shove it or he sez don’t come back Monday we can become who we want to be, like back then. Jon Kaye probably said it best with “It’s never too late start all over again”.

Peace my friend

[2guntex]

@maf5454 Sorry i did not get back to you,under pressure as bowie might not say,i find it sad that i missed oppertunities just because i was having a ball,but the party did not last long enough,and as the carousel slows it allows me to see my deamons clearly, God Bless

[95justmephoebe]

If I ever get rich, I think I might live like this, no worries at all :)

[leoretrosi]

[quesyu]

[VanDoodah]

This song is being played at my funeral.

[TheBarthez1]

R.I.P Billy(Dennis)

I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters

She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic

And then she'll know the things I learned

That really have no value in the end she will surely know

I wasn't born to follow.

[krazikiwi01]

Easyrider, this came from one of the greatest movies ever made. A combo of Born Free and Born to ride.

[bryansseals]

GREAT SONG, GREAT BAND

[makoszz]

Boy this is the way to go to be free

[tiranchula]

My crazy Dad! The one and only time he took all of us kids to the movies was when we went to see Easy Rider... I was like 4 or 5 and vaguely remember the movie.... But it was a big deal, that I remember! Saw it at the Golden Gate Theatre in East Los Angeles, CA!

[customcroft]

Went to see this with with may mates Fozzy and Kenny in the G.F.T. in Glasgow. many moons ago.

Beers before and keebabs after, classic flick , classic night!!

@themeatmanruddy Yes, great! I luv this movie. Thanks for posting.

[LasseChristensenOfDK]

@JIMMIESURFS As Dennis himself explained, all the shooting while riding is done at tops 15MPH, so thats the least of their worries, biggest was to even keep the bike from falling over! :D
