Little Known Facts From Russ


We all know that Phil Spector had some really crazy Hair Bear hair, was a great producer, is definitely a horrific misogynist, and is likely a murderer of B-movie actresses. But how many know that he was also The Connection in Easy Rider? He's the guy Peter & Dennis (Wyatt & Billy) meet on the airport runway in the limo to sell coke.

Nice one, Russ. I've never actually seen all of Easy Rider. I was overly stoned and overly reclined the one time I made the effort. All I remember is a long motorcycle montage.

If memory serves, I was there and we were both overly reclined - on the La-Z-Boys at Sparky's grandma's Nanticoke home at Angola By the Bay, Rehobeth Beach, DelaWHERE??? I believe we had just taken a break from dancing to Herb Alpert's Whipped Cream and Other Delights when Easy Rider came on.

I do believe you are correct. Pity we didn't watch Down and Out in Beverly Hills instead.
