All of them had something to say about this country and each in a very unique voice. I think Zinn so far has been overlooked and undervalued. Salinger wrote perhaps the most overrated novel ever. Hopper made a hazy, crazy film about two guys with all the freedom in the world and no idea what to do with it. Billy: We've done it. We've done it. We're rich. Wyatt. [laughs] Yeah, man. [laughs] Yeah. Clearly, we did it, man we did it. We did it. Huh. We're rich, man. We're retired in Florida, now, mister. Whew.Wyatt: You know, Billy. We blew it.Billy: What? Huh? Wha-wha-wha- That's what it's all about, man. I mean, like you know - I mean, you go for the big money, man, and then you're free. You dig? [Laughs]Wyatt: We blew it. Good night, man.
