No children, I did not get to go to Woodstock. I was working my ass off at two jobs that summer to get enough money to return to college for my second year. I would have enjoyed swimming in the pond with the naked hippie chicks though, not to mention seeing Crosby Stills & Nash. Title: Re: 41 years ago today...

Woodstock by Joni Mitchell 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 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 I'm going to try an' get my soul free We are stardust We are golden 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 a cog 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 I am But you know life is for learning We are stardust We are golden 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 Riding shotgun in the sky And they were turning into butterflies Above our nation We are stardust Billion year old carbon We are golden Caught in the devil's bargain And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden Woodstock has been recorded by 211 others http://jonimitchell.com/music/covers-details.cfm?id=A (http://jonimitchell.com/music/covers-details.cfm?id=A) Tribute To Joni Mitchell Title: Re: 41 years ago today...
