We went out.
We messed around.
We hung out, it seemed like, for a long time.
And then we went up to Ojai, California, the four of us, and Bob and Bert and Jack.
And a couple of roadies, I think.
And we sat around all weekend at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa.
And it was around a little tape recorder on the floor.
And I got film, 16-millimeter film of us all talking about this movie.
what we're going to do, what we wanted to do, what we didn't want to do, what would be funny, cool, weird, you know.
And Jack went away, and in his brilliance, him and Bob Rafelson, wrote this incredible movie that, looking back, did and said all those things that, well, I've looked back and studied it a little bit myself, and also having had been there,
The way I look at it personally is that even at the time, I don't know that they knew what they were doing necessarily.

If you think about who these guys were, Bob Rafelson went on to be an incredible director, Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda was in it, Dennis Hopper was there.
They used the money from the Monkees to make Easy Rider.
There's a book called Easy Rider Raging Bull, which I did an interview for about that era.
Bob and Bert Scorsese, Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson were the new bucks in town.
They essentially single-handedly created the Hollywood independent film industry.
It did not exist before Easy Rider, before those films.
The head was the first of that deconstruction, not just of the monkeys, but a deconstruction of the old Hollywood system.
