As you surely know today, Sunday the 15., it's the 35th birthday of the Woodstock festival... Post some images or drop a line! I'll start with one of my favorite lyrics, "Woodstock" by Joni MItchell: Well I came upon a child of God He was walking along the road And I asked him, where are you going And this he told me... Said I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band I'm going to camp out on the land And try and get my soul free We are stardust We are golden We are billion-year-old carbon And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden Then can I walk beside you? I have come here to lose the smog And I feel to be caught in something turning Well maybe it is just the time of year Or maybe it's the time of man I don't know who l am But life is for learning We are stardust We are golden We are billion-year-old carbon And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden By the time we got to Woodstock We were half a million strong And everywhere there was song and celebration And I dreamed I saw the bombers and jetplanes Riding shotgun in the sky And they were turning into butterflies Above our nation We are stardust We are golden We are caught in a devil's bargain And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden
The Fish Cheer & I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag Gimme an F! F! Gimme an I! I! Gimme an S! S! Gimme an H! H! What's that spell ? FISH! What's that spell ? FISH! What's that spell ? FISH! Yeah, 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. Well, come on generals, let's move fast; Your big chance has come at last. Gotta go out and get those reds — The only good commie is the one who'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. Huh! Well, come on Wall Street, don't move 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 the trade, 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 mothers throughout the land, Pack your boys off to Vietnam. Come on fathers, don't hesitate, Send 'em off before it's too late. Be the first one on 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. Happy Birthday Woodstock 4ever
