WOODSTOCK DAY
| On August 15th 1969, they came by the thousands. They came from every corner of the U.S. and many came from other countries. It was a pilgrimage to a farm owned by Max Yasgur in an area of Sullivan County, New York called Bethel. In a manner of speaking, this was a religious experience. It was a pilgrimage for love, and peace. And throughout it all, the music played. |
Unfortunately, I missed it. Were any of you there? |

I was 3 years old and I was not even close to that place that became a legendary music event. |

I guess most of the old timers of the site have already gone to bed.
I was 18 and living in Canada and probably could have gone but I was too busy trying to make some money before College.
I think it was one the most significant eras regarding music and many of the songs we like to teach were sung there for the first time if I remember correctly.
To all the hippies in the world today - PEACE, LOVE AND ROCK �N ROLL |

Let´s see what I missed: drugs, fornication, alcohol, witchcraft, rebellion and numerous other forms of immorality. Dang! It sounds like a good time.

Hi, there free open minded people.
Just to say whatever the sins of WOODSTOCK people were they could not be as harmful as the McCarthyists �, Neo-nazists �, Totalitarians � and other Racists �
As many of you I wish I had been old enough to understand at the time the real aim behind it.
As we may say in many countries: "Sometimes we have to ask for the maximum to have the minimum."
EDIT: (He who feels the cap fits him has just to wear it.)
