I apologize for the earlier incorrect link. My computer was running way slow. Even with the correct video linked, the image at DU is that of the old video. It is that of another Hoyt Axton song, "Joy to the World."

The 50th anniversary of the film's release occurred back in July:

Happy 50th anniversary, Easy Rider, on Sunday.

1. I don't remember...

'Joy to the World' being in Easy Rider. Where within the film did it appear?

2. It didn't. I copied an incorrect link. Then my computer ground to a halt.

Try it now.

Sorry.

3. Maybe when they were at the Mardi Gras?

...and tripping on acid?

4. Nope. I made a mistake. I mean, FAKE NEWS. NT
