OK, THAT does it! We need another Woodstock!
Edited on Mon Oct-11-04 08:26 PM by mandyky
A real one, like the one in 69. If we can raise 40 million for Howard Dean and probably twice that for Kerry by now, we could do it. All we need is a farm somewhere in the boonies. This VFC concert has me nostalgic for the 60's.

I remember back in the 90's telling my Mom we might need another war to get back our country's social conscience. We've had two wars and a wanna be dictator as prez, and I think we got it back!

7. My idea of camping is the holiday inn. And you should see the look on the
faces of the Hotel staff when I ride up on My Harley and check in.

6. Oops, my bad!
I could have gone (I only lived about 2 hours away), but I was 13 or 14 and not very independent at the time!

8. I was not quite 16
My parents would not let me go, so I told them I was going camping with a friend.

I just didn't tell them where... :)

(I lived in CT at the time, so it wasn't too far)

10. If I'd have been 16 I'd have hitchhiked down
I hitched to Ithaca to see Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water tour when I was 17. What a trip!

15. So where are all the protest songs?
Many of the best songs from the 60's were protest songs. Are there any new ones being recorded by major artists? I would have thought that the musicians would be leading the protests, but not this time. Come on, Britney, pour your heart out!

19. The artists are too busy shaking their rumps to be concerned
with politics.

23. Why do you say that?
The 69 one was awesome! The 94/95 one was a disaster, but it was too commercial..
