TMD Timeline Post

The clip of Easy Rider shows two men on motorcycles who are riding cross country. They find a vacancy sign on one of the motel signs and ask for a room. The manager quickly changes it to no vacancy, thus showing that he did not want those bikers staying in his motel. The wikipedia article describes that this movie goes into the discrimination during he 1960s of people such as hippies, who engaged in drug use. Das Kapital was a book written by the German socialist, Karl Marx. I guess the Easy Rider movie shows the adventurous side of Che, but at the same time he is developing socialistic views.
