I was in College in 1972-1973. A bunch of us went to the theater in Wilburton, Oklahoma to see "Easy Rider". Sure miss those times and my friends. I wished we'd been able to keep in touch.

This is one of the most amazing 2-minute songs of all time and a timeless classic ! Thanks for the lyrics - they're often misquoted.

My all time favorite Byrd's song.

[gandalfdeeerste]

At that time I was working offshore and had to take my car to the heli airport. Halfway I had to go through a tunnel. If I started this song by the Byrds at a certain point on the highway and I was driving at a certain speed, it just matched the distorted part of the song. It worked and made me happy.

Can't help but crying with my dog who has cancer lying between my feet . He soon will be passing on, leaving me alone . In the end ther's only sadness and pain and a Byrds song to remember . Peace out to everyone who's got more luck .

I usually listen to this song 5 or 6 times in a row. First time I've checked this video out and it is truly excellent. Having those mesmerizing lyrics along with beautiful scenery while listening is perfect. Bravo !!!
