From the motorcycle subculture movies Hopper has brought rock music, but instead of The Ventures he has given us known songs by top rock artists.

Now pepped-up Axton-Fisher is out with a new cigaret-Fleetwood Imperials, a king-sized smoke done up in a tan-and-gold package, designed to lure U.S. citizens away from the Big Four (Lucky Strikes, Camels, Chesterfields, Philip Morris...
...Hara type. She traveled in Europe and Mexico, attended two private schools, knows the Greenwich Village nightclubs, drives two big cars furiously and admits she has turned down ten marriage proposals.
