How about Woodstock?
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life

Couldn't go was only in the 8th grade. However the hot girl down the road went ... she even had a 67 Camaro.. She wanted my sister to go with her..same age.. Dad wouldn't let her.
And not a single cell/smartphone in sight.
Not too many time travelers in that crowd.

And not 'cause they weren't tryin'.
Fitting for the time, but does not apply to me. I was 8 YO 1969.
I was 12 yrs old
I would have liked to have been there but that is just wishing my self to be even older 😲
I have read 400K + showed up plan was about 50k over time what i have heard two people died one OD and one was ran over by a tractor while sleeping and was not seen also two kids were born there .
I bet many more were conceived though
fun fact about 3 million claim to have been there 😁
My mom said she didn't remember woodstock. I think she was there.
Well that took a dark turn.

changed it Mr P
it was a last minute thought about the times
I bet the smell emanating from that crowd was repulsive.
I would guess some people were beyond approach like going to Wal-Mart x1000
I have seen reports a local pond was used for skinny dipping and swimming I am sure as a quick bath at least I hope so
Went to college with a girl who was there . She had pics to prove it . Always wondered what ever became of Leigh anne
Unlike everyone else I ever met, I weren't there.
I was a 13 year old hippie wannabe back in '69 and didn't make it to Woodstock. I did however actually see the premier of the movie in '70 at our local movie theater. What I remember most about those times are all the fights I had with my WWII Navy Vet father (who was also a shipboard barber) about NOT wanting my hair cut!!! 😁
What I would give today to have him give me that "Princeton" I fought against back then!! Be nice to have some of that hair back on my forehead too! 🙂
Woodstock (1970) - IMDb
When I turned 13 I also just let it grow I did not get a hair cut until I was 21
It drove my dad nuts and caused the only close to fight i ever had with him
The girls loved it that over rode all the coments from the older generation men calling me sissy and hippy .
But old dad pulled a slick one when I was about 21 he told me a old boss of his could help me get a job as a union construction worker at 4 almost 5x what I making at my old job
But told me the boss was a old fellow and no way would he hire a long haired guy
So I had it cut to just below my ears .i felt naked with my hair so short
the 1st day I met the fellow he said if your going to work for me you will need a hair cut WTH
Ah you should have seen me two days ago
I worked with him off and on 13 yrs
He did tell me much later it was a set up to get me to cut my hair .
I miss my dad but that was the top prank he ever did to me and the old boss also may both RIP
I didn't go , my son was born 8/21/69, we thought it might be cutting it to close
My UNCLE SUGAR had charge of me at the time😔
I didn't go. Wasn't born yet.

My bet was the smell of pot was in the air
I was there. yes, I'm old....I was in the Army in Georgia and heard about the festival. took 30 day leave and stuck my thumb out. tickets for the 3 days were $18. I didn't have it and took my chances, the fences were down by the time we got there. best three days of my life.
That's me in there lower right corner with the Aviators on.
I thought that was a woman.

Serious? JD!
A re-creation of that picture was done on the Isle of Misfits. Here's what it looks like today;
...still cute,,,
Hey, I think I see GG in that picture.
No way! He would have been onstage!
I look at that picture and my first thought is it looks like 20 to 1 guys versus girls. I've always heard about all the wild, drug induced sex at Woodstock. Drugs I can buy but with a serious shortage of women and zero privacy I'm guessing the wild sex was the drug induced male fantasies of non-existent wild sex!! 😁
I was not there. My uncle sent me to summer camp.
I remember the long sideburn days....yep yep yep....
or just a lot of tired girls
Key Stone firearms has a vintage Woodstock ticket for sale over on the auction side.
