I remember someone posting that a while ago. Thanks for bringing it back to the new board. Very funny. For those that don't know, that's Henry McCullough singing backup.

That is very funny! Now I know what a song with lyrics by Sarah Palin might sound like......Is Joe C. her favorite lyricist?? ;D Probably should start a new thread with this thought; seeing the Joe Cocker video above reminded me of the following: 40 years ago next month I was in Boy Scouts (I was 14 years old) and we were canoeing 40 miles of the Delaware River just above Pt. Jarvis, NY the same weekend as Woodstock. We set up camp along the river just a few miles from the festival. After dinner, we hopped in a car and one of the older scouts drove us over towards the festival to check it out. We only got withing 2 miles of the grandstand and it was dark and I remember just a sea of humans everywhere in front of us. We stopped and got out and we could hear the music in the distance, but it was just too crowded and impossible to get any closer. I was afraid of hippies in those days as my parents told me they were all drug-crazed drop-outs, so we gave up and turned around and went back to our campsite by the river. I had a hard enough time getting my parents to let me wear Beatle-boots and comb my hair forward in those days. Anyway we never got close enough to hear the concert......Didn't know at the time how big the festival would turn out to be, and I had heard rumours The Beatles might turn up, so I wanted to check it out. Anybody else on this board have any Woodstock memories as we approach the 40th Anniversary of the event in the next couple of weeks?

. . . Anybody else on this board have any Woodstock memories as we approach the 40th Anniversary of the event in the next couple of weeks? As they say about the 60s, if you can remember Woodstock, you weren't really there. ;D
