and make tickets available so that people within Arizona can come and see these concerts as they roll out.

Making a bit of change from the lib-lemmings. Leftist rock-n-rollers are still playing from the Woodstock play book.

I finished Michael Lang's book on Woodstock last night. Never did he seem concerned about seeing his investors' investment protected, at every turn he seemed okay with the notion of keeping it "real" even if that meant letting everyone come in for free. At the end of the day, when things were being broken down (and some of the gear was rented) it was okay for the Hog Farm, Black Panthers, and others to walk off with gear "what's it to you?".

And then he expressed outrage when one of the investors' father's bailed them out but forced the partnership to be surrendered to those settling the debt.

Always fun to party on other peoples money.

He also downplayed the bad things that happened at the original Woodstock (anticapitalist agitators burning down the food vendor's rented booths, the Black Panthers and Yippies extorting tens of thousands of dollars out of Woodstock Ventures, no mention of same agitator groups trying to forcibly violently steal the film crew's rented equipement...)

Nope, he brought up the 3-days of love and peace as a sharp contrast to the "kids" at the 1999 event who likewise burned down the vendor booths after being gouged for 3 days (at least at the original there was some free food and people could bring their own privisions into the show). And yet these fools think they are "free and real".

Also, in Lang's book he mentions the National Guard helping out. Not much "thanking" them for being NICE in spite of anti-American "revolutionaries" like Abbie Hoffman being participants in the festival. There was mention of a politician who helped get the National Guard called in, but would that require approval from the president (the area was declared a disaster area before the first band took the stage). Just wondering if Nixon played a part in keeping Woodstock from turning into even more of a disaster.
