No, I was not at the original Woodstock; I was way too young, and my dad would have never allowed it. I did go to the site in 1989, after reading the books about it and on the way to the Boston Worldcon, and I was impressed with the natural amphitheater setup of the site.
Apparently, some folks finally decided to use it as an outdoor theater site, and the things is supposed to open up next year; I’m not sure what I think of this, but I hope it works out well; as I’ve discovered, there’s no way you can put tangible memories in wax and hope they always stay the same. However, there was a earmark for the Museum on the site in the new budget bill, sponsored by Schumer and Hillary Clinton, and Senate GOP dueds shot it down with a ‘nailed Clinton and her hippies, heh heh - see, we *are* fiscal conservatives!’ comment.
Dudes, freakin’ spare me that fiscal conservatives crud. The entire earmark system is way out of control on both sides.
