The credits are only sacred in Hollywood, because either the audience members or someone thy know is in the film.
@RogerMcGuinn I was in a theatre once where they started turning up the lights during the credits and cut the song short. I stood and protested aloud but was ignored by the man in the projection booth. That song at the end was why I had spent money to see it for the 8th time.

The story behind "The Ballad of Easy Rider"
guitarplayer.com
The theme song for ‘Easy Rider’ has become a classic, but Dylan was unhappy with the film and refused to have his name associated with it

Very cool video!!!
I reimagined my song “Aliens” (The Guittard Tapes) into a space-rock tune inspired by Mr. Spaceman. An AI tool shaped the sound and conjured an AI cameo from 12-string legend @RogerMcGuinn . Visuals are animated from still photos.

That's right but Peter came over to me and said "Don't turn down, sounds great - keep it up!"
Happy 4th of July! Today in 1965, The Byrds performed at an independence day party hosted by actress Jane Fonda for a slew of famous guests. However, Henry Fonda, actor and father of Jane and Peter, was less fond of the music, asking to turn down the volume. 📸: Dennis Hopper

Since 2020, the price of canned fruits and vegetables has already risen 31%, and likely to be even greater throughout 2025. Trump has the opportunity to fine-tune tariffs in a way that lowers grocery bills, keeps more profits in the hands of American farmers and secures US jobs!

There is a scientific explanation for how the bitter water became sweet at Marah. How does this statement cause you to feel?

@Camilla22 @RogerMcGuinn We were lucky to nab the last two seats for the show in Tryon, NC. If you’re thinking of spending an evening with @RogerMcGuinn don’t hesitate! You’ll be glad you did!

The streets of Las Vegas aren’t exactly empty. But they’re also not nearly as packed as they used to be. The Bellagio’s famous fountains. The shows. The sights. The lights. The sounds. They’re still all operating, but fewer people are appreciating them these days. CBRE Equity
