In their own way as an art band that's not-yet-popular-and-nobody-knows-if-they-ever-will-be, they were still following in the footsteps of the Beatles anyway with this early movie soundtrack. Too bad they weren't the stars of the movie.
There was also a movie called Zabriskie Point where they did some work on the soundtrack of that.
Thanks for that hilarious song. I think the stereotype was well established by the late 1960s: in Antonioni’s film Zabriskie Point, a character’s walking through the LA sprawl instead of driving is part of the overall depiction of the bad situation he’s in.
For a similar experience, watch Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point (1969). Philip Baker Hall was only thirty-seven when he acted in that film, but he already looks like the old man whom people would recognize from the more acclaimed roles he started getting in his fifties and sixties.
"Zabriskie Point" (1970) — what a wonderful movie
