`Wake up! It's a Chelsea morning!"Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Pittsburgh, Pa.: Jul 28, 1994. pg. C.7That's what the early-morning announcements at Woodstock '94 might sound like if Chelsea Clinton takes Molly Rosenman up on her offer. Rosenman, who, like Chelsea, is 14, has asked her father, Joel Rosenman, one of the festival producers, to tell Chelsea's folks that if she wants to go to Woodstock, they ought to let her.
Joel said he'd try. "We can guarantee there would be responsible adult supervision at all times," he said. "We've already arranged that for Molly." He also said that while the musical lineup is pretty much set, he'd make room for saxophonist Bill Clinton if the president wants to jam.
A White House spokeswoman says she didn't know of any Woodstock travel plans for Chelsea or the president.
(All together, now: "NO RAIN! NO RAIN! NO RAIN! . . . ")
It looks like first daughter Chelsea Clinton is taking a pass on attending Woodstock '94. Molly Rosenman, the daughter of Woodstock producer Joel Rosenman, issued an invitation to Chelsea for the Aug. 12-14 event in New York State."Dear Chelsea," the letter reads, "If you like rock & roll, this should be great! Why don't you join my family and me at Woodstock? Best Wishes, Molly."
White House spokeswoman Dee Dee Myers said, "As far as I know, I've seen no plans to that effect." The 25th anniversary show will feature such performers as Bob Dylan and the Spin Doctors.
Great catch!
