What role did Phil Spector have in Easy Rider. I see his character name was Connection, and I'm drawing a blank. Was it just a cameo or did he have several scenes? Was any of his music used in the film?

I specifically reminded her - bedside table! On the Kangaroo!

A cameo right at the start, there's only three main characters in this film

It's a cameo near the beginning. Billy and Wyatt sell cocaine to a guy they meet by the airport. Phil Spector is the guy who samples the cocaine and buys it.

And then later on he plays the guy in the truck who blows them away with the gun cause you know how Phil likes to do that.
Blow away people with guns.

No that wasn't Phil I'm pretty they were just two random people who were asked to briefly star in the film, if I remember correctly.

Spector is the dweeby guy in the tan jacket and Scumbag Steve hat testing the cocaine at the airport. He is the main characters' 'connection' to the buyer, who is never seen.
