I mean, what are they gonna say when he's gone? 'Cause he dies when it dies, when it dies, he dies-what are they gonna say about him? He was a kind man? He was a wise man? He had plans? He had wisdom? Bulls**t, man!

That was the first thing I thought of, too. Classic dialogue.R.I.P. Mr. Hopper.
I thought his scene in True Romance with Christopher Walken before his character got killed was an absolute CLASSIC!
One of my faves of all time!
kristoffersons "the pilgrim"written about hopper,and a few others is a fitting tribute,tho' written many years before his passing.......Damn.

As someone who has worn out one DVD of Easy Rider, and seen it (as well as Apocalypse Now) +/-100 times, this hit me real hard.
interesting comment...... remember that time as a very optimistic one,which i have not seen since......the drug culture was then seen as a path to some sort of enlightenment and spiritual awakening,rather than the mind numbing bummer that it is now......I was going to school in the DC area when Easy Rider was released (about 1969). A friend of mine showed up from Richmond with some buddies and invited me to go see this movie about some hippy bikers traveling cross country. I took a 4-way hit of acid and away we went. Afterwards we went to this community house in Tacoma Park called Toad House to chill. Closest thing to a religious experience I ever "grokked" from a movie...Thanks Dennis
