I'm not sure what specific pieces it includes, or if any of the two songs we see Bobby play are on that book, but I suppose it is expected of musicians to move beyond the "easy pieces" as a sign of "progress".

Bobby learns that his father has taken ill and reluctantly takes a road trip, accompanied by Rayell, to see his father, a trip where bits and pieces of Bobby's past come into focus, offering some insight into the man he is.

At the 43rd Academy Awards in 1971 the youth orientated film, Five Easy Pieces, caused a bit of a stir when it was nominated for four Oscars: Best Picture, Best Lead Actor Jack Nicholson, Best Lead Actress Karen Black and Best Screenplay...it won none of them.

Quotes [Bobby wants plain toast, which isn't on the menu] Bobby: I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce.

Five Easy Pieces is a film I can truly sink into when I'm in the right mood, because there's so much truth and atmosphere in this film.
