I've seen "Easy Rider" a few times.. years ago. In real life Peter Fonda's mother committed suicide when he was a boy. In the famous cemetery scene here he is asking why his mother left him he is referring to her. It was very real.
Also, the lyric "I know what it's like to be dead" in The Beatles song "She Said, She Said" was something Fonda said to John Lennon during an acid trip. I guess Fonda nearly accidentally killed himself with a self-inflicted gun shot blast as a kid.
