Still have my original vinyl.
 
I heard that picture was taken on Abbey Road in Cedar Rapids, not far from Coop HQ....
They were walking across the street to Caps for some sandwiches but Paul was refused service for no shoes......

That was the original photo but it was 15% too small for the album cover so they had to do it over again across the pond.
 
The remains of a U.S. Air Force pilot who died while serving in the Vietnam War were personally flown home by the man's son⁠ — 52 years after the two saw each other for the last time. An entire airport came to a halt to honor the remains of a returning Vietnam veteran

Ride on, Peter. You are missed.


Oh wow, bummer news. I must have seen "Easy Rider" about five or six times when it first came out in 1969 and many more times over the years since then. It was the impetus for my 2-1/2 month, 14,000+ mile motorcycle ride around the US and Western Canada in 1971. Sad news especially so coming on the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. 1969 was a very special year in my life for many reasons. Ride on for sure Peter! :1036316054:

A couple of days before leaving together for USMC bootcamp in the summer of 1969, my buddy and I decided we should take our Mothers out. So the four of us had dinner at a Big Boy Restaurant and then on to the movies to see, Easy Rider. I still remember the look on my Mother's face when the theater lit up and the song Born to Be Wild played early on in the movie.

Under $400k to produce, with revenue of $60M. An incredibly talented trio and movie classic for all time.
