Had fate worked out just a bit differently, Peter Fonda might be remembered as one of the great figures of 1960s pop music rather than one of the standout actors of his generation.
It transpired in the summer of 1965, when the Beatles had rented a house in Los Angeles on Mulholland Drive and invited Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of the Byrds over. Several of them dropped acid.As Fonda recounted later about the episode, he arrived, also under the influence of LSD, and attempted to calm Beatles guitarist George Harrison, who feared he was dying.
Additionally, well before Fonda rocketed to fame with his role opposite Dennis Hopper in the counterculture film classic “Easy Rider,” the son of iconic Hollywood star Henry Fonda toyed with the idea of being a recording artist himself. “Peter and I met at a local Topanga Canyon music gathering put on every so often by the musicians and artists who lived in the Canyon; everyone would hang out, play music and socialize,” Nesmith wrote. “Peter and I hit it off because of our motorcycles. I had a Triumph Bonneville and he had a Harley, and we started riding around the canyons soon after he had his Harley chopped but before he got the Captain America Helmet.
About three decades later, Fonda was tapped by roots-country musician and actor Dwight Yoakam to be in the cast for Yoakam’s western “South of Heaven, West of Hell,” which also costarred Fonda’s actress daughter, Bridget Fonda.
To you, Peter.
