Soon it will be 50 years since Woodstock.
Not sure what surprises more: the fact that seminal cultural event is coming up on a half-century or that some of its featured acts are still touring. Wasn’t rock ‘n’ roll a youth movement? Didn’t The Who’s Pete Townshend write the immortal line “Hope I die before I get old?” and sing it at Woodstock?
Answers: Yes but not anymore. And yes Pete did, indeed, sing that line from “My Generation” on the third and last day of Woodstock on Aug. 17, 1969.
This week, The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts with Live Nation Concerts and INVNT announced a 50th anniversary edition of Woodstock for August 2019.

I just watched Santana's Woodstock performance of "Soul Sacrifice" last night on youtube and it was/is smokin' hot.
A lot of great music was played at that concert nearly 50 years ago - I'm sorry I missed it but attended several rock festivals in the Pacific NW back then and had a blast.
Self righteous prigs who do nothing bad mouth this event are really quite pathetic in my humble opinion.

You mean “chez affcianado” Carlos? His tone is simply irritating to me now. And looking at possible folks in the line up——— I wouldn’t go if they paid ME.

Liberals write history.
The rest of us thought it was a dirty lowlife pot party.

In his autobiography, he states that he joked with a pestering reporter.
Why are you going to Switzerland?
To get my blood replaced.
And a myth was born.
