RIP Easy Rider

[Habana Mike]

Peter Fonda has shuffled off our mortal coil.

Best known for his role in Easy Rider.

He's just missed the 50th anniversary showing with live soundtrack by Steppenwolf and the Byrds.

Generationally impactful. Sorry to see him go.

I'm sitting out on my balcony right now after a 15 hour day, overlooking the Chicago skyline, smoking a nice cigar, and listening to The Weight a few times over. Every time I listen to this song I can't help but be immediately transported to that iconic scene in the movie. It ranks high on my list of all time favorite movie scenes because it so powerfully captures what I love most about riding the open road.  I instantly feel freedom and peace when I hear that song and think about that scene, despite the heaviness of the song lyrics. 

RIP, brother. You will live on forever through your art.
