"The word easy rider is specifically used in the southern United States to refer to men who live by their wives as chickens. No, no. The pimps are those who live with prostitutes because they ride on others and live their lives freely. Well, old man, this is what happened in America. Freedom has become a bitch, We ride on her to live our lives."
-On September 6, 1969, "Rolling Stone"
Wim Wenders introduced this movie in the book Emotion Pictures: Reflection on Cinema. In the book, he mentioned that the original movie wanted to use bob dylan's it's alright ma i'm only bleeding as the ending song, but Bob refused. He told the director, "You have to change the ending of the movie. It's too pessimistic. You have to show hope to others."
But the film still stuck to the original ending. Bob's original soundtrack was gone, so Roger McGuinn had to sing the song.
