Woodstock Music Festival

This is the "iconic couple" from the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969.Guess what? They are still together after all these years! I wish I could've been there holding a lighter or a candle to be part of that crowd. Not sure about all the rain, mud, lack of food and toilets or available drugs but the music would have made it all worth while.

The Woodstock Music Festival, 3 Days of peace (actually 4 days), love, rock and roll music, including the Jimi Hendrix performance during the "lost day" of the Woodstock concert. Woodstock is definitely the greatest music concert ever!

There were half a million people in attendance at Woodstock, a peaceful protest to the Vietnam war. Police were amazed how many young people gathered together with no violence. There were many bands on the line up, some even played in the rain. Did you know Woodstock almost didn't even happen? Meet Max Yasgur, the reason the music festival did take place, just because of him and his own beliefs at Meet Max at Woodstock Was . . .

Many generations of war Veterans were recognized with "ticker tape" parades while walking down Main Street with people cheering and supporting them, when the War is over. The Vietnam Veterans came home under a shroud and completely unrecognized by us. They got no parade or even acknowledgement from anyone. Seems unfair they would not be recognized for fighting in a war, like any other Veterans but that's what happened. So support our Veteran's and wear a t shirt, hat or get a mug! Just show your support!! It means a lot to our Veteran's!

As the hours, days, years pass, we still await the return of 58,000+ enlisted men and women from the Vietnam War who remain unaccounted for. Bronze-finish metal case features raised relief design and inscription to these brave defenders. The bold 2" diameter face bears the dates of the war and the service metal ribbon colors. Includes a 12" chain with fob and lined gift box with the POW/MIA flag art. Battery included. Japan movement.

We need to show our appreciation to our soldiers when ever the chance arises for us. They put their lives on the line for us and it shouldn't be to much to ask. Show them so love.

More than a mere three days of peace, love, mud, and music, the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Festival was a cultural landmark in a tumultuous decade. It was the brainchild of Artie Kornfeld, songwriter, music producer, and so-called "Pied Piper of Woodstock." In his memoir, Kornfeld traces his life from early musical prodigy to organizer of the concert that changed the country.

This is a quote from one of my valued visitors, The Health Lady. "Artie Kornfeld's "The Pied Piper of Woodstock" not only is it a totally amazing recollection of the times but Artie doesn't make a single penny off of the book. As with everything Artie does related to Woodstock, all of his profits are donated." You can read the entire post below in the Guestbook.

When the Vietnam Veterans returned home from the war, they were basically ignored. There was no New York, ticker tape parade for these veterans. They weren't even recognized. They fought for us!

Once the Vietnam War was finally over and the U.S. soldiers could come home they came back to hysterical crowds of 'Baby Killers' to being spit on. This was a great shock to the soldiers and a sad one to think they had come back not only with broken bodies in many cases, but in mind and spirit. It was difficult for them to get jobs and they didn't even get the medical care they so deserved from their country.

Do you think they were treated fairly or not?

The Woodstock Music Festival is one that changed our society. The music from this concert was a true tribute to our National Freedom and people standing up for what they believed in. Here are some music choices that reflect the Woodstock Concert and the people that attended.

Here is probably the most memorable song that came out of Woodstock and everybody learned the lyrics!! So, start the video and sing along, I've even given you the lyrics! Enjoy!

Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Song

Give Me an F, U, C, K, What's that spell? What's that spell.....

Well, come on all of you, big strong men,

Uncle Sam needs your help again.

He's got himself in a terrible jam

Way down yonder in Vietnam

So put down your books and pick up a gun,

We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for ?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Vietnam;

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why,

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

So come on Wall Street, don't be slow,

Why man, this is war au-go-go

There's plenty good money to be made

By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade,

But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,

They drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for ?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Vietnam.

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;

Your big chance has come at last.

Now you can go out and get those reds

'Cause the only good commie is the one that's dead

And you know that peace can only be won

When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for ?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Vietnam;

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Come on mothers throughout the land,

Pack your boys off to Vietnam.

Come on fathers, and don't hesitate

To send your sons off before it's too late.

And you can be the first ones in your block

To have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three

What are we fighting for ?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Vietnam.

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why,

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Bethel, New York. Three day music festival, Woodstock. Many music artists, peaceful Vietnam protest, 500,000 people were in attendance. I still see many people wearing Woodstock apparel from that concert, even today! Sex, drugs and rock n roll! Here are a few of the t shirts still being worn now.
