I was 16 at the time. I knew a few people that were going and was invited.

I passed.

Do you have any regrets?

Yes and no. It would have been interesting to be a small part of history, but at the time, I remember viewing the footage on the news, and it actually looked scary. Now I realize that the media was purposely showing the scary scenes.

Oh well...

Psych, I love that picture!     Like Backy,  I too was 16 at the time.   Pics like these are in my heart........ I never actually lived "the life" but to this day I refer to myself on my blog as the "hippie chick".......I loved that era!

I did look the part. I grew my hair long and wore a peace medallion, but was a tag too young to live the life.

I do wish it had lasted longer. By the end of 1970, it was pretty much forgotten, but the memory and spirit lives on.

And yes, I have referred to myself as an 'aging hippie'

Yup,  I was too young as well.   Ahhhh the memories of those years though....... don't ya just love them?

[Puddleboy]

It's just a shame it had to fade away so quickly. There's technical reasons for it. One has to do with the generation before us (which I refer to as the cigarette generation) was and still is against any kind of artistic expression.

I wasn't even a twinkle in my daddy's eye yet.....


* runs like helll*

[Jude]

Aww that's okay Lyric honey,  you don't have to run!    You can just call Backy and I "Mom and Dad".     The Mom and Dad of the Asshat Society!

 :lol:

[Lyric]

Hehehe...  I could....  but please don't sing to me..

The big news the month I was born was that Nixon got busted with Watergate.  Yep ... too young to remember.

Although, my step-father's favorite quote is:
"If you can remember the sixties, you weren't actively participating."

[serrena_de_singe]

Okay ... this string is being an .

I keep getting "There's no posts in this topic," but I know damned well there are.  Must be a technical difficulty.

At the time of Woodstock my mother was thinking there was something terribly wrong with her.  She thought maybe she had cancer.  Turns out what was wrong with her was ME!  Exactly 8 months after Woodstock I was born.  Mom and Dad had been married 3 months at the time of Woodstock.  I find it very funny that she would suspect cancer before pregnancy!

My husband was a six year old little boy at the time.  Probably playing at his Grandmother's in Manchester, England.  When we were there he took me for a walk and showed me where his Grandmother lived and the school that he went.  It had been a hospital during WWI.  The building next to the school was built in 1512.

This picture was taken by Lisa Law, She and her husband Tom spent the 60s documenting the counter culture movement, a web search of her name has produced a lot of her pictures.
The bus, by the way, is called " Road Hog "

I love it, Psych!!

[Peaches]

Used to see buses like that at the Phish festivals.  And people dressed that way for that matter! :lol:
