Woodstock 1969 – A much simpler time? A more innocent place? … who knows, perhaps. If you compare it to where we are now, it most certainly was. It was a year that embraced the hippie movement and anti-establishment attitudes prevailed. “Free love” was rampant and heavily endorsed, and people were all about letting go of the material and living off the land. On July 20, 1969 the world bore witness to one of mans crowning achievements. American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the Moon, uttering those immortal words “that’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” As the 60’s drew to a close, Charles Manson was captured on the Barker Ranch, inflation rose at a record rate, anti-war demonstrations increased as opposition to the Vietnam War grew .. and music that would have a lasting impact on the world came from groups like the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and the Beatles. It was also during the summer of ’69 that the most famous music festival of all time took place. Woodstock was born on the New York farm of Max Yasgur, locking down its place in the history books when more than 400,000 avid music fans gathered to see groups like The Who, Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead perform. Also on the roster that day, beginning their set at 3AM on a Monday morning, was folk rock super group Crosby Stills Nash & Young. And from that group came my most favorite song of the decade entitled simply “Woodstock”. Here’s to welcoming the weekend with arms wide open, kicking back and enjoying some of the best music ever made.~~ Isabella Well I came upon a of God He was walking along the road And I asked him tell me where are you going This he told me Said, I'm going down to Yasgurs farm Gonna join in a rock and roll band Got to get back to the land and set my soul free We are stardust, we are golden We are billion year old carbon And we've got to get ourselves back to the Garden Well, then can I roam beside you I have come to lose the smog And I feel myself a cog in somethin' turning And maybe it's the time of year Yes and maybe it's the time of man And I don't know who I am But life is for learning We are stardust, we are golden We are billion year old carbon And we've got to get ourselves back to the Garden We are stardust, we are golden We are billion year old carbon And we've got to get ourselves back to the Garden By the time we got to Woodstock We were half a million strong And everywhere was a song and a celebration And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes Riding shotgun in the sky Turning into butterflies Above our Nation We are stardust, we are golden We are caught in the Devil's bargain And we got to get ourselves back to the Garden[/font] Crosby Stills Nash & Young Woodstock true love has a habit of coming back ... |
