'Easy Rider'

Apparently, this a film about two guys who ride motorcycles around the United States only to get shot by a pair of hillbillies.

What the director and writers would like you to believe is that this is a tale of two son's of the republic seeking the "true America," which is a lot like porn: You can't define it, but you know it when you see it.

Basically, this was all a ruse to get high and not have any roots. Which I totally get, but don't disguise is as anything but pure debauchery.

Plus, if you're searching for the true America in the 1960s, should you really be rolling through small towns while you have unwieldy facial hair and devil-may-care attitudes? It's like looking for sugar in an ant hill.
