@deadheaders86 Trashing him? He ends the comment saying he's just like Havens, doesn't he? Basically saying he doesn't do it the way it's "supposed to be done," he does it his own way. he also says he plays a funky guitar, which is hardly a put down.
Lemme try to explain, the bluenacho guy.. "you mean bluechao John?", yeah whatever. That was the first snub John pulled. Second, "a black guy", just a black guy? Sang strawberry fields OR SOMETHING? A song considered by fans and John himself to be a great work, up there with T.S. Eliot, OR SOMETHING. Playing one chord all the time? Check out a vintage Beatles song book and see if you know all the chords right away, as in Havens can not play in real terms. No WOODSTOCK=JEALOUS GUY.
@deadheaders86 That doesn't sound like he "trashed" Richie, Richie used open tunings and doesn't really play in real terms. John actually could but always downplayed his singing and playing.
Right? That's like me saying you're a poor, stupid piece of shit farmer, womanizer, raised by a single mother, with a drug problem, a bitty wife, a child you don't even allow to visit, I'm like that. John was a jealous guy. I wonder if Paul had been killed, whether John would have handled his interview any better/bitter than Paul did, which I though was pretty cold. "Yeah, real tragedy, I haven't cried yet."

No matter what song Richie chose to do, it never failed to move me! The man never makes a wrong musical move! The story is that they were having terrible trouble getting the artists to the concert site because of gridlock and they persuaded Richie to go on first - and he had to keep playing and playing until they could get other bands in!!
Hello, my name is Becky, to anyone watching this video - I need to interview someone for my school project, you have had to be around 17, 18 around the time of woodstock, my main focus is to find out about lsd and psychadelic mushrooms in that time. If you are willing to go through an online interview PLEASE let me know and reply here that would be amazing, or email me at bexter321@aol.com. Thanks so much.
@babbersabber ..... I like Richie Havens but there is NO WAY IN HELL that this is better than The Beatles That's like saying an Apple is a better orange than an orange is (It's Just NOT true or even possible)
@babbersabber ....... as the Late Great Roger Miller once sang "It Takes All Kinds To Make A World" and that being said It's your prerogative you can like anything you like even if your wrong and someone else is right ..... that's what makes this country so great!!
?? lol well, f@(k all these comment's i think i'd rather be in a damn cotton field now! What's with the arguments kewl peep's? Were all diverse and we all got different opinion's so fudge it... sometime's ya just gotta say... WHOOSAAAH! Damn i luv this song... peace!!
Hahaha, you got to be kidding me. Your beyond ignorant man. Also, your posting on a video about peace and love saying we should all raise against the government with weapons. Dont fucking criticize me for being in school when you probably didnt graduate with anything over a 2.0. Ill tell you what, why dont you and your little hipster friends go and get your guns and take over the government and well see how this world will be. If its better, ill buy you a fucking drink.
@sumthingsick123 so, you are everywhere complicated creature, why don't you just leave people alone with their comments, if you don't like what they talk about, just shut the fuck up and eat your own shit, no one cares about what are you writing, die you SCUM!!!
@Lamboragon im so sorry...most my friends r black. now get off the racism crap i wasnt thinking bout him even being black i thought of the song and thought it would b funny... it was afterwards i post i realized the irony. maybe if you vote down it will have a backwards affect... oh yea u know wut is racist? im fed up with alot of my on race. im not predjudice (spelling?) a bit but i hate when people talk bad bout others u feel me?
@eric81195 i thought bout it ... the problem with woodstock is that there wasnt a woodstock 1970', 71', and 72'and so forth. u shouldnt suffer something so right u know wut i mean?!
i was born a few decades too late... nobody will ever look back at the current generation or modern times with nostalgia and longing for feeling 'alive' again... what would they say? 'oh i miss the old times, we'd sit at starbucks, chatting on facebook from out iphones, those the were the times..."
@xsonicyouth81 Almost none. There was tons of energy in the 90s. The internet made us big for our britches and made everything snarky and insignificant...
@Nathanrjroche well, i thought it was pretty funny. now, dont accuse me of accusing people for racism... forget about the racism! its good music hes way too underrated and i still think its funny to say that 66 people want cotton fields forever lol. i mean would you rather have strawberry or cotton damn fields forever... and haha
@ytertyu um no, i'm pretty sure it was the generation before them. America was already fucked over then! Hello! Vietnam! Watergate! That was definitely not the hippies fault...
im looking for a place to buckle down during march or april 2011 in new mexico or arizona is there any communes in that area that will dig me there man i can provide fresh fruit haha
My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during 5.5 years by the German BND,the former GESTAPO.I recorded more than 100 videotapes which ended up in the legal system.My brother was tortured 1.5 years while several legal procedures pending.He was assassinated on July 11th 2009 because of our homepage and our book Der Totalitäre Staat.If my homepage disappears,the BND will have assassinated me as well.BND snitchers are thumbing me down
So thumbs up if you want the BND to stop torturing my parents
@jasonscottable Don't worry so much about the nay-sayers. Disagreeing with them is fine, but you're not going to achieve much by discussing with them. It's not our responsibility, what they feel think and say.
@crazybrave1 lol, its not worth your time. Check his channel out its full of him looking for people to hate on, sucks for him. I used to act like him too, its a pretty depressing lifestyle.
For one...I am a VETERAN..I didnt dodge the draft or hide in Canada...sit around and listen to Beatle Albums smoking pot and taking acid and call that "revolution".
@Lamboragon don't talk nonsense,the beatles psychedelic original is untouchable. however this is an excellent version and im sure john would have approved.
@ Only1Sausage. He plays mostly in Open D tuning - with his Thumb right over the
top of the guitar using it for bar chords and varying the position of his lower fingers on the high e, b and g strings. You can get his Instructional DVD from 'HOMESPUN'
- with Happy Traum. It's difficult if your thumbs are short !
PFFFF!!! Look around. WE ARE under a corporate fascist/banker government. The baby boomers didnt accomplish shit but party and take drugs and called "revolution".
The only revolution that effects any regime change is at the end of a barrel of a gun. Period.
@danieljh So, IF we are under a corporate fascist/banking government, you advocate to replace it with another fascist entity. You seem to forget movements of that period which involved baby boomers who ultimately changed the course of the country. IE womens rights, civil rights, anti war. Had they not challenged the establishment (in the numbers that they did), Hoover and his minions would have eliminated descent and marched us into a autocratic militaristic government.
This is absolutely epic, but the ultimate woodstock moment would have been if John Lennon had written Imagine a year earlier and played it there with just him and his white piano. That would have been tears & heaven.
i would give anything to get rid of all forms of government and racism and just all come together like that and listen to music smoke weed and do acid forever and be HAPPY :) ...RIP john lennon
@noah933 I agree to you comment. Unlike the other hyperactive tweeners who said it makes no sense, it obviously does. Clearly those people don't know peace like we want it to be. Simple, and carefree. Should I have to go through signing papers to put on record just because I love someone and want to marry them? That there shows how much the government likes to keep tabs on everybody. I'm not saying it's unfair, but it's just not necessary at all. One love.
@noah933 true but as bad as i hate to admit it, we have to have some sort of government/formation, even though they are a bunch of dipshit/greedy bastards for the most part. I mean we need hospitals, food, shelter, clothes, and a military to back us up just in case other countries dont feel the same as we do while we are high off our asses lol. The government is sort of a necessary evil, if you will. Dont get me wrong, Id love to plant my own crops, raise my own livestock, bargain and trade with
@noah933 my neighbor etc. etc. but sad enough, its never been that way and therefore never will be. Its always been the rich getting richer, making the poor work their asses off for them, only to get poorer, and i dont see much changing. But anyhow I feel ya bro, know what you mean, I reminence back in the day too, more so to when I was a kid and life was care-free, i could play all day, had energy all the time, and most importantly i was happy all the time unless i was sick
You do realize you would be fucked without the government? Im all for peace and love but it really ticks me off with so many kids in my high school who are all "anti government." Without any form of government we would be living in chaos. What we need to do is CHANGE the governments, not get rid of them!
@Rush1013 Amen to that brother. The American Constitution was beautify written, it's only when politicians try to tweak it that problems arise. The laws have swung so far in favor of the uber rich top 1% that it's disgusting, and people don't even notice.
Absolutely, today most governments revolve around fat cat politicians and the wealthy. What we really need is a completely corruption free, all for the people government. Although i doubt that will ever happen. If people cared half as much about this as they do the newest electronics and TV shows it would be easily achievable.

play very strange guitar? He’s a black guy that was on a concert and
sang “Strawberry Fields” or something. He plays like one chord all the
time. He plays a pretty funky guitar. But he doesn’t seem to be able to
play in the real terms at all. I’m like that."

My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during 5.5 years by the German BND,the former GESTAPO.I recorded more than 100 videotapes which ended up in the legal system.My brother was tortured 1.5 years while several legal procedures pending.He was assassinated on July 11th 2009 because of our homepage and our book Der Totalitäre Staat.If my homepage disappears,the BND will have assassinated me as well.BND snitchers are thumbing me down
So thumbs up if you want the BND to stop torturing my parents

@jasonscottable Don't worry so much about the nay-sayers. Disagreeing with them is fine, but you're not going to achieve much by discussing with them. It's not our responsibility, what they feel think and say.
All we can do is actively spread positivity.

@ Only1Sausage. He plays mostly in Open D tuning - with his Thumb right over the
top of the guitar using it for bar chords and varying the position of his lower fingers on the high e, b and g strings. You can get his Instructional DVD from 'HOMESPUN'
- with Happy Traum. It's difficult if your thumbs are short !

Does anyone know how to play this version?? even just the tuning.

Sorry but Hippies became the yuppies of the 80's (not all of them). These baby boomers left a disaster that this generation is forced to clean up.

@danieljh If it wasnt for the hippies, you would be under a totalitarian government (Watergate) and wouldnt have near the musical legacy you do now.

PFFFF!!! Look around. WE ARE under a corporate fascist/banker government. The baby boomers didnt accomplish shit but party and take drugs and called "revolution".
The only revolution that effects any regime change is at the end of a barrel of a gun. Period.
danieljh 1 year ago
@danieljh So, IF we are under a corporate fascist/banking government, you advocate to replace it with another fascist entity. You seem to forget movements of that period which involved baby boomers who ultimately changed the course of the country. IE womens rights, civil rights, anti war. Had they not challenged the establishment (in the numbers that they did), Hoover and his minions would have eliminated descent and marched us into a autocratic militaristic government.

This is absolutely epic, but the ultimate woodstock moment would have been if John Lennon had written Imagine a year earlier and played it there with just him and his white piano. That would have been tears & heaven.

@noah933 I agree to you comment. Unlike the other hyperactive tweeners who said it makes no sense, it obviously does. Clearly those people don't know peace like we want it to be. Simple, and carefree. Should I have to go through signing papers to put on record just because I love someone and want to marry them? That there shows how much the government likes to keep tabs on everybody. I'm not saying it's unfair, but it's just not necessary at all. One love.

@noah933 true but as bad as i hate to admit it, we have to have some sort of government/formation, even though they are a bunch of dipshit/greedy bastards for the most part. I mean we need hospitals, food, shelter, clothes, and a military to back us up just in case other countries dont feel the same as we do while we are high off our asses lol. The government is sort of a necessary evil, if you will. Dont get me wrong, Id love to plant my own crops, raise my own livestock, bargain and trade with

@noah933 my neighbor etc. etc. but sad enough, its never been that way and therefore never will be. Its always been the rich getting richer, making the poor work their asses off for them, only to get poorer, and i dont see much changing. But anyhow I feel ya bro, know what you mean, I reminence back in the day too, more so to when I was a kid and life was care-free, i could play all day, had energy all the time, and most importantly i was happy all the time unless i was sick

You do realize you would be fucked without the government? Im all for peace and love but it really ticks me off with so many kids in my high school who are all "anti government." Without any form of government we would be living in chaos. What we need to do is CHANGE the governments, not get rid of them!

@Rush1013 Amen to that brother. The American Constitution was beautify written, it's only when politicians try to tweak it that problems arise. The laws have swung so far in favor of the uber rich top 1% that it's disgusting, and people don't even notice.

Absolutely, today most governments revolve around fat cat politicians and the wealthy. What we really need is a completely corruption free, all for the people government. Although i doubt that will ever happen. If people cared half as much about this as they do the newest electronics and TV shows it would be easily achievable.
