I remember hearing it when I heard on the radio when it first came out. It inspired me to move to California where I lived for 35 years. I became friends with Henry Diltze who did the cover photo for The Mama and Poppa's. Mama Cass was the coolest, Michelle was a sexy blonde and John and Denny...
I produced Elvis That's The Way It Special Edition, also got to hang out with Scotty, DJ, James Burton and the TCB Band along with Sonny and Joe, Lisa Marie and Priscilla!!!
Saw Easyrider at sixteen and decided I was wanted to be a filmmaker. Later I got to work with both Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda and thank them for their inspiration. If you good me Rick Schmidln at Wikipedia you will see my dream came true!
