The great Dennis Hopper.......

A great actor is no longer with us and will be riding the wind forever now.

No more pain - RIP!

R.I.P Dennis.  He always brought a certain edge to his movie parts that I enjoyed.

R.I.P. Bro.......      Damn I hate to see these ones around or younger than my age going to the land of no pain......   Makes me think that I'm either lucky or over due..........

My old class from high school luncheon was last week.  Have one every other month, so as to stay in contact.   Used to be an annual reunion, then it went to every 6 months, to every 3 months and now every other month.   Out of a class of 159, there is 40 of us left..........   We did however, loose a bunch in 50 - 54 in Korea.  I wanted to go, but O2 said no..........

I liked him in Speed with Keaneu Reeves.

He always plyed a off balance type guy. Or a King Pin.

He looked really  bad on the Hall of Fame, when they placed his Star in Hollywood.

A the end of the movie.  I play this song in memory of Dennis Hopper.

Paying my respects. Dennis was an accomplished actor before ER. That movie cemented his legacy in Holly Wood. He went on to play a lot more memorable characters than his ER costar did. Thank you Mr. Hopper.

Thank god for Dennis Hopper (Billy).  Saw Easy Rider when it first came out as a teenager. Definitely a cult hero and made a big impact on my life. I got into motorcycles then and never looked back. One of my favorite scenes from Easy Rider was when they rolled into Monument Valley area and the campfire scene right after that.  Classic.  I think he will always be remembered first for that movie.   RIP.
