Dennis Hopper, a man with deep psychological and drug problems, a man of violence, albeit talent, died recently and the media has lamented…way, way too much… the passing of an icon of the Baby-boomer generation…really?
Hooper was born in 1936, ten years before the start of the Baby-boomers and I’m not clear on what influence he or his film had on our generation or any generation for that matter. I mean generally speaking we’re an enlightened group and not a bunch of simple minded lemmings…Easy Rider was…you know…okay…not bad…alright…I’ve seen better…but influential? I don’t know about that.
