Happy Woodstock Day!
    #10886675 - 08/18/09 11:13 PM (14 years, 7 months ago)

Unbelievable (to me!) is that is has been 40 years since this historical gathering. This and other cultural milestones have led to the forming of the Shroomery as well as to current festivals such as 'Burning Man'.

Songwriting genius Jone Mitchell penned the poignant words to this anthem:

I came upon a child of god
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
Im going on down to Yasgur's farm
Im going to join in a rock 'n roll band
Im going to camp out on the land
Im going to try and get my soul free

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I dont know who l am
But you know life is for learning

We are stardust
We are golden
And weve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation

We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden


*OC sheds a tear of nostalgia*

Yeah, I was in tenth grade. Burning man is a big step up IMO although I didn't attend woodstock. But in general the promise of woodstock fell flat on it's face in the mud.

So you didn't attend woodstock but IYO Burning man is a big step up.  Well in general people that can't compare or judge based on lack of information should probably stfu nothing personal of course.  As to falling flat on it's face in the mud shame on u a real hippie would still have faith.

Just because I didn't attend doesn't mean I know nothing about what happened there. Read everything I could find on it including eyewitness reports and watched every video I could.

And of course with you it is personal so don't be lying about this. :thumbdown:

Butt you WEREN'T there! You could read everything ever written and watch all the videos ever made and it doesn't mean shit.

And really, it's nothing personal.

  A favorite pic of mine.

I was going into the 11th grade in the following weeks. I waved to my older cousin Bruce who was in a car with his friends, on the way to Woodstock. He became a life-long heroin addict who died a few years ago after we had two phone conversations. He had disappeared for 32 years, living wherever the heroin was cheap. He was locked up in a Bolivian jail in the 70s. I still have the '77 High Times Magazine which had an interview with his mom (my mean aunt).

In the fall, Karen K. sat right behind me in algebra II. She had made it to Woodstock (we were in NJ). I tried to absorb it vicariously. It was a real cluster-f**k, but I've managed to retain its idealized spirit, howsoever out of time, space and praxis it is 40 years later. I did make it to the next big concert at the Poconos Raceway. It too was rained out, no spirit, no music greats, never got near the stage. All I remember is passing out in my little tent and seeing a young mother hold a joint to the lips of an almost new-born baby.

"Where have all the flowers gone?..."

Not true on both counts. Even if I had been there, at sixteen I couldn't have judged what was going on accurately. Just as by attending Burning Man I cannot know everything that goes on there.

And really, it is personal.

What's really true is it wouldn't matter what age you were you couldn't judge what was/is going on accurately.  Nothing personal, but personally I would recommend you open your eyes and shut your pie hole for a while.

Yeah it's not personal that's obvious.

What's your problem? Let's get it out in the  open or if you need to PM me as I would be glad to discuss it in depth.

I don't know a lot about Woodstock, other than the great bands and the medical disaster, but Happy Woodstock Day! :flowerchild:

I will make it to Burning Man soon.

Don't really believe in spirits or the rest of that statement but I do listen to his greatest hits quite often. He had lots downer songs that I especially like.

Well as I said "in spirit" maybe I meant that I felt his spirit in me.  Don't really believe I meant his ghost was roaming around but if it was and I could measure it I'm sure JREF has that check just a waiting for me to collect. 

LOL.

Hey that reminds me, you still have all those deer in your yard?

I have them everywhere this year. It's a rare day I don't see ten or more in town (along with lots of turkeys and fox)
