And for the sing-along/karaoke crowd, here's the Lyrics;

Oh I'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crest is flowing
And run across the valley
Beneath the sacred mountain

And wander through the forest
Where the the trees have leaves of prisms
And break the light in colors
That no one knows the names of

And when it's time I'll go and wait
Beside a legendary fountain
'Til I see your form reflected
In its clear and jeweled waters

And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another

I will want to dive beneath
The white cascading waters
She may beg, she may plead
She may argue with her logic

And mention all the things I'd lose
That really have no value
In the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow

That is a Carole King/Gerry Coffin song. For the longest time, thought it was a Bob Dylan song.

@Spinliesel Good one!

Sad to hear of his death last night.

I was sad to see that also. I just watched Easy Rider not that long ago.

His family asks that you raise a toast for freedom in his remembrance. I did just that last night!

Thanks for posting! I saw this movie prob 10 times.
I worked at the Theater as a teen.
The movie and Peter Fonda made a lasting impression on me.

Been watching that intro all summer … jokingly singing it as I ‘head out on the highway’... He’s made a more lasting impact on American society than I ever will.. And, a more enjoyable adventure on my new motorcycle ..or whatever comes my way ~

He also made an impact on how the rest of the world sees Americans. I saw easy Rider many times in Germany. Could not believe the actions of the rednecks in the pickup truck. Now that I am here. I believe that was a true portrait of a certain part of the population. Sad, sad, sad.

@Spinliesel And they’re still out there, emboldened by our mistaken so-called president..
