The collective beginning to our collective End..sensed disaster when this charted so long ago, too difficult to elucidate.

My son was conceived at Woodstock. He turned out to be fat, stupid, and ugly. So much for Woodstock.

haha you said negroes

This version blows and they leave out the best line - WE ARE BILLION YEAR OLD CARBON - its obvious that the CSN version of this song is far superior not just because they were better musicians, but that one line is key to the overall message and its great they added that in their version

hope he's stupid enough not to see this!

This is one excellent rendition of Woodstock.

I love the implicit whiteness of the event. Whatever the flavor of the day, peace, free love, drugs, "civil rights" for negroes, this appears to have been an essentially white party as no other race could have created the spiritual ethos that culminated in those few incredible days. Born much too late to experience it, I admire the hopes and dream, idealism and naivete of the 60's and my parents' generation.

Sorry to hear that. He must be a huge disappointment to you. You probably expected him to turn out like a young River Phoenix.
