The Founders. Hmmm. I don't remember that band. What songs did they play? Build Me Up Buttercup?

I listened to a lot of Woodstock music and lore this weekend on radio. It really was a great lineup and many great performances. What struck me about the reminiscences of those who were there was that they never characterize it in the manner that we would for a concert. The music — as great as it must have been — had become secondary to the experience.

The Parable of Hot Dog (scroll downward at the NPR site) is a pretty interesting read and, in relation to where we are today, seems to dovetail with what I posted a few days ago. (Something to think about when the person in the left lane on the freeway won't move over for nothin'.)

My (HS) students could care less about Woodstock. They are sick hearing about it, do not relate to it (understandably so), and think we are a bunch of dorks caring about a single concert that happened 40 years ago. It has no relevancy to their lives, and they see no lasting positive consequences from the event. (Neither do I). As a brother of a Woodstock attendee, I see NO lasting effects of the event, other than the commercialism, and the fact that my brother has been high (an addict) ever since. Peace, love and happiness? Maybe for one weekend, but the more things change the more they stay the same. Just pick up today's news. Now, back to watching the Woodstock movie and listening to the soundtracks for the rest of my miserable life.
