What an iconic movie. Those of us who were lucky enough to see it back in the day at the
theatre were blown away....of course, it only added to our negative feelings towards red
necks and "pigs"...
the whole anti-establishment thing.
The characters were allegedly Based on Roger McGuinn & David Crosby.
I wonderd how you all, as later generations, were affected or felt about this revolutionary
kind of filming (for Hollywood), the film itself and of course --the fantastic soundtrack.
Also, what about you all that were there in the day...rocker, John9, bob, ol' man, Tina....n' all.
You know who I mean....
Dylan was asked to contribute, but was reluctant so the Byrds covered "It's Alright Ma,
I'm Only Bleeding". For the title track, "Ballad Of Easy Rider", Dylan wrote the first verse
and simply said--
"Give this to Mcguinn, he'll know what to do with it." Oh yeah, did he!!
Music from Jimi, Steppenwlf, The Byrds, The Band. Here is the title track.....

Who knows what happened off camera!  ...when he was introduced by Mickey, Tim was already there sitting on the antique junker (with a smashed windshield)...and sang Song To The Sirens with a voice of an angel.
It's one of my favorites on ANY 60's show. You have the audio on your Buckley Anthology (with Mickey's intro), Joe. You should see if that one is at your library, Joe!
"My Fleeting House" DVD>brilliant!! All fourteen of the only live footage of Tim known to exist....wonderful but we want more!!

Quaint but effective...they were our shows and the only way to see some bands. They didn't need a huge music corp to get them booked.....Tim Buckley was not a huge star but he got on the Monkees because Tim was unique, and because of the Monkees' desire to place their show above the network's idea of a just a silly sitcom with hit music.
We were lucky to have such great venues to see those great 60's acts.

Right...Roy was great.
re: Ozzie>I can't think of any show quite like it at the time....at least not a sit-com with a (rock) musical hook! Ricky took over!!....it became a rock-star feature that happened to have a "cute" little skit on before hand.

16 rpm!....I'd think the bass would sound good..the needle wouldn't be bounced around so much!...
A lot of those ol' series got me into music. Davy, Davy Crockett.....
Lawman, "he had a job to be done"...Cheyenne....Maveric.....great themes. As a pre-schooler I had my Davy Crockett outfit and guitar!
Then the big one..Ozzie and Harriet!! ALWAYS WAITED FOR RICKIE at the end....sometimes it seemed like forever waiting!! The plots could be rather lame to put it lightly.
Of course I had my early record collection...Gene Autry (he was the MAN!) "Frosty the Snowman" and "On The Good Ship Lollypop" by little Shirely Temple, etc....I was four maybe...man she was HOT!

My Dad is well into Gene Autry and all those old 'cowboy' type singers... I must admit they do have a certain charm. |

I've still got some records that play on 16 rpm, they were my Dad's. Sadly though the record player I had as a kid played 16rpm I havn't got anything now that will. |

A play on words or tribute?
Or would Ian ever be aware of this 1949 American TV program?
