I watched Easy Rider this morning on SBS On Demand.
It is a cool movie.
Peter made numerous cool movies, inlc the original 60s biker exploitation movie, The WIld Angels, where he makes the speech about the bikers wanting to nbe free and get loaded, which is featured on Primal Scream's "Loaded".

The Sharks were cool circa 2016.ATM they are lukey warm.If they make the semis, I'll call Gal Cool Handed Luke.

I thought the Sharks were cooler when we had lots of guys with long hair in the mid 70s, like Greg Pierce, Rick Bourke, Steve Edmonds , and Greg Mullane, who all looked like they were ready to strap a guitar on and go on stage.

They were cooler than cool."Thems' were the days my friend,I thought they'd never end."Or something like that.

I'll raise you the Primal Scream with Mudhoney and In and Out of Grace. They sampled the same speech in 1988.

Get her to do a bit of Jethro Tull.
That’s probably too obscure for our punters.
:grinning:
Dead set . I can put on TripleM and hear 4 songs in a row we play.

My only chance is when the other guitarist breaks a string.
Then I go rogue.
Last Friday I did the lemonheads/smudge/car tv commercial “outdoor type”.

Might do “my drug buddy” this Friday if he breaks another one.
