Notice how thin everyone is?

I am pretty sure I have the same guitar strap that Carlos is using at Woodstock. I bought mine in early 1970s. Still have it on my 1969 ES-335. I saw him 3 weeks after Woodstock at a festival near New Orleans along with Janis, Grateful Dead and many others that played at Woodstock. Canned Heat was pretty good.

Hard to believe that half of those people migrated to DC, so that they could run our lives according to ‘their version’ of Socialism.

In the summer of ‘69 I worked at three jobs to earn enough money to go back to college. I had friends knocking off to go to Woodstock. At the end of the summer before going back to school I went to the national convention of YAF in St. Louis. A fellow YAFer told me about going to Woodstock. Music was great. People were wonderful, and he smoked too much bad weed and would not do that again. Another girl from my neighborhood who went told me about the food and sanitation problems she found there. Hard to find a place to go or a bush to hide behind. She told me I would not have liked Woodstock. I never felt like I missed anything. The highlight of my summer was meeting William F. Buckley in St. Louis and touching the hem of his jacket as I stood behind him at a reception.

Why didn’t I go there?

A. I was gainfully employed.

B. I had zero interest in rolling around in the mud.

C. I didn’t like the kind of people who went there.

C. Much of the music was noise to me.

On the bright side, we got through the thread without anybody mentioning Altamont.
