For those who were there, Woodstock was a weekend like no other

For three days in August 1969, it seemed like the Age of Peace and Love might just take hold.

Fifty years earlier, more than 400,000 young people grooved to the sounds of their generation at a music festival billed as “An Aquarian Exposition.”

Indeed, those hills really were alive with the sound of music as the three days of Woodstock unfolded here a half-century ago. Today that music, and the spirit of one of the most raucous weekends in American history, still echoes in the hearts of those who were there, those who wish they were there, and those who say they were there but might have come up more than a few miles short.

We  celebrate the 50th anniversary of  the concert as we walk to class this week.  Hope  you enjoy it.
