From the soundtrack of the cult classic “Easy Rider,” there was some Hollywood-type drama around the title song. According to Wikipedia, Peter Fonda wanted Bob Dylan to write the tune but he declined; instead, he scribbled a few lines for Roger McGuinn of the Byrds to expand upon. Roger did so, but Dylan later asked that his co-writer credit be removed because he didn’t like how the song fit into the final scene of the movie. The single did reach #65 in a few weeks.
