I wasn't born yet, but I have heard stories from those who were lucky enough to been able to have joined in the festivities that weekend, and as I think back on their words, I have to smile, as it was a time of free thinking... Woodstock was the last hoorah before the decade ended... It was a gathering of like minded people, who believed in what they were doing, believed in the music, the love, and the togetherness, that would never happen again... I look at the different shows, programs and documentaries on this festival and think everyone knew on some level that this was the end of an era, one that would never happen again...
40 years ago this weekend, the hippies of the 1960's got together to express themselves with not only music, but togetherness, with drugs of many kinds, it was the end of an era, and I for one wish I had been alive to be able to witness that decade, but alas I was not, but I did get to hear the stories of those who did get to live that era, and from those who also got to experience the greatest and largest gathering in what is now called Ithaca, NY, but back then was just an open piece of land, a farm that someone owned, and put together the biggest rock concert for those who came to see them perform...
We can try to duplicate this event, but it will never be as it once was, as those times are long gone, only to be told to children at bedtime or around the dinner table... There was and only will be on Woodstock...
