Well rock on.. Today is the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. THE Woodstock. I didn't go to it. I would have liked to though. Don't know if I could have stood it or not. Half a million is a lot of groovy people. To quote Wikipedia...
Woodstock Music & Art Fair (informally, Woodstock or The Woodstock Festival) was a music festival, billed as "An Aquarian Exposition", held at Max Yasgur's 600 acre (2.4 km²; 240 ha, 0.94 mi²) dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York from August 15 to August 18, 1969. Bethel, in Sullivan County, is 43 miles (69 km) southwest of the town of Woodstock, New York, in adjoining Ulster County.
Thirty-two acts performed during the sometimes rainy weekend in front of nearly half a million concertgoers. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest moments in popular music history and was listed on Rolling Stone's 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll.
So Sayeth Wikipedia. I'm gonna put this clip in (a) because I like the song, & (b) because the video with it typifies the whole Woodstock thing, (c) because I really dig Arlo Guthry, & (c) I dont remember, so rock on.........
