Woodstock Blues/ Let's Celebrate Anyways!

Because of this ridiculous recession, no one wants to front any money to Michael Lang for an epic Woodstock 40th Anniversary Concert. So if your as bummed about missing that experience as I am, do what I did! Immerse yourself in Woodstock literature! I am currently reading "The Road to Woodstock" By Michael Lang, the man himself! (Book review on that coming as soon as I finish the book) But Anyhow, the first book I bought was Back to the Garden By Pete Forntale (Which was named after a lyric by Crosby, Stills, & Nash in a song about Woodstock, A really MUST HEAR!). I must say that it was a great book. It gave you personal accounts of a variety of peoples' experiences of the festival. This "Canterbury Tales" story telling technique was what made the Woodstock Documentary Film so successful, (You Must Watch That Film!). Anyhow, the book follows through the accounts of Artists, Spectators, producers, and journalists, and it really makes you feel like you were there. It is a must read if you are fascinated by The Woodstock Nation. Other Woodstock celebrations to help you get in the sixties mood: There will be a free family Woodstock 40 Event at Peacock Park in Coconut Grove on Sat. Aug 15 from 5-11pm. (There will be a raffle to win an Autographed Santana Guitar!!!!) Also, Hippiefest at the Broward Performing Arts Center is on Aug 16, you can already purchase tickets on ticketmaster. And finally, Crosby, Stills, & Nash are having a concert on Aug. 20 in The Hard Rock. Tickets for that are also already on sale. So Happy 40th Everybody! And don't forget to celebrate & Show the world that Woodstock Nation is still very much alive!!! Hopefully we can have a real amazing concert for the 50th! :-)
