There was a lot more to his career than Easy Rider but the movie, though now dated, is an icon of a generation with characters that showed bits and pieces of many of us. We rode and died with Wyatt and Billy as our hopes or dreams often did as well. There was a lot more to Dennis Hopper that I and many others enjoyed as well.
