Forty years ago this weekend, over 500 thousand people descended upon Max Yasgur's farm in Bethel, New York for a three-day music festival called Woodstock. It was a mud-filled three -day music festival that stunned the nation. KSRO captures some of the Spirit of Woodstock on the 40th Anniversary:
Barry Z Levine, one of the renowned photographers of Woodstock, who was part of the Academy Award-winning “Woodstock” documentary team, . His new creation is, "The Woodstock Story Book." (Track 1)
Psychologist Mark Gellman from the University of Miami, who teaches "Pysch 305, Drugs and Behavior." He discusses the drug culture at Woodstock. (Track 2)
Wavy Gravy, co-director of Camp Winnarainbow, a performing arts program for children, and Emcee of Woodstock 1 and 2 (Track 3)

The second day of that mythic, three-day concert coincided with my eleventh birthday (I am going to be fifty-one on Sunday. Yikes! Where did the time go?) As future decades unwind, it is a certainty that the photographic image of half a million kids, partying and dancing in the mud, will not continue to sustain the cultural significance that it does for us today. The years will pass by, the people who were lucky enough to be there will one day be no more, and the Woodstock Festival will be erased from living memory; a mere footnote to a very crowded century. But what a freaking party, baby!

Thanks KSRO for a great blast back in time! It’s been said, “If you remember Woodstock, you weren’t there.” But I remember it as the greatest days of my life that shined peace onto Mother Earth. See everyone at the 50th!
