Dennis Lee Hopper • May 17, 1936 – May 29, 2010
In 1969 Dennis Hopper directed and starred in Easy Rider. Hopper was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay as co-writer.
Ann Hornaday:
“With its portrait of counterculture heroes raising their middle fingers to the uptight middle-class hypocrisies, Easy Rider became the cinematic symbol of the 1960s, a celluloid anthem to freedom, macho bravado and anti-establishment rebellion.”
May he rest in peace until resurrected; then may he continue riding free.
they should have his hand sticking out of his casket with his middle finger up. somehow that seems fitting.
They’ll never get that guy into a casket, but they could bronze that glove bird and mount it on his urn. . .
And elation. See ya up there, Big Guy.
