RIP Peter Fonda "Wyatt"
A legend gone.
Captain America that he (Wyatt) rode in Easy Rider is one of the most recognizable motorcycles in the world. They will be forever linked.
Greg Easy Rider, can't say enough. Intro to this landmark film:

iJay One great film and so many stinkers. Some so bad, they are perfect. Who can forget the sewer surfing scene in Escape from LA; and how perfect the Kurt Russell buddiness. Or how about Fighting Mad - beat example of 70’s violence B-trash. Perfect!
And then a second chance, redemption with Wanda Nevada and Ulee’s Gold followed by great cameos and supporting roles. Good for Peter.
Strange guy, stranger family, didn’t tell him Mom self-destructed and later in life, when he finally found out, he realized everyone but him knew. Henry was a weird duck. However, in our new age of terrible tweets, I believe he deserves the Oscar!
God speed Peter, may you find your peace and if you had only one great film — you did it well.
