    Lawrence, do you remember in the woodstock film there was a scene with a guy & a girl in a car & the guy (on acid) was saying he's not there for the music or the people, he's just there? I always wondered who that guy was, & if he's still around. Do you know the bit of the film I mean?

    I was a little dude looking up at these people in those days. Oddly enough, I could feel the "fabric" of those times; the vibes; as a kid. I sure as hell wore the crappy plaid pants with bell bottoms back then :). The music: it will never be recaptured; the unity; the talent. This was a small capsule of time that was precious and thank God it was otherwise we wouldn't appreciate it. As a time capsule, I hope they dig it all up in 100 years and think, wow, that was cool and put it all in a museum
