Former SNL writer Michael O’Donoghue pitched a sequel to “Easy Rider,” and anyone who has seen the movie would know why this would be a tad difficult.

Uh, I don’t know if this is the sequel you’re talking about but It was supposed to take place in the afterlife. I think that there might even have been a nuclear holocaust involved, but I don’t remember all of the details of the newspaper article I read all those years ago. I’d like to poing out that I’m putting this in a spoiler tag, even though I’ve never seen the freakin’ movie, but I know they get shot by a couple of red necks at the end.
