One of those sixties songs that speak of their time, mainly due to the fact it was used in the film Easy Rider, from which the video here is an extract.

Can you believe I took my mother to see Easy Rider so she’d understand my generation?! It’s still a rousing song, isn’t it?

Joan,
Yes it is.
What did your mother think of it?

I think she was puzzled. My parents, especially my mother, were very tolerant of my late teenage shenanigans, trusting that, somehow, I’d avoid jail and turn out okay. So far, so good (although ‘turn out okay’ might be questioned by some)!

Joan,
As a parent, I suppose you just hope that your example – and warnings – will be followed.
