    Not too many time travelers in that crowd.

    Fitting for the time, but does not apply to me. I was 8 YO 1969.

    some what time related and a sadder story I worked with a fellow who was a national guard he was posted at Ohio State University when the kids were killed . he was not close to the shooting but it haunted him .

    Well that took a dark turn.

    I would guess some people were beyond approach like going to Wal-Mart x1000

    I have seen reports a local pond was used for skinny dipping and swimming I am sure as a quick bath at least I hope so

    I was a 13 year old hippie wannabe back in '69 and didn't make it to Woodstock. I did however actually see the premier of the movie in '70 at our local movie theater. What I remember most about those times are all the fights I had with my WWII Navy Vet father (who was also a shipboard barber) about NOT wanting my hair cut!!! 😁


    What I would give today to have him give me that "Princeton" I fought against back then!! Be nice to have some of that hair back on my forehead too! 🙂

    When I turned 13 I also just let it grow I did not get a hair cut until I was 21

    It drove my dad nuts and caused the only close to fight i ever had with him

    The girls loved it that over rode all the coments from the older generation men calling me sissy and hippy .

    But old dad pulled a slick one when I was about 21 he told me a old boss of his could help me get a job as a union construction worker at 4 almost 5x what I making at my old job

    But told me the boss was a old fellow and no way would he hire a long haired guy

    So I had it cut to just below my ears .i felt naked with my hair so short

    the 1st day I met the fellow he said if your going to work for me you will need a hair cut WTH

    Ah you should have seen me two days ago

    I worked with him off and on 13 yrs

    He did tell me much later it was a set up to get me to cut my hair .

    I miss my dad but that was the top prank he ever did to me and the old boss also may both RIP

    I was there. yes, I'm old....I was in the Army in Georgia and heard about the festival. took 30 day leave and stuck my thumb out. tickets for the 3 days were $18. I didn't have it and took my chances, the fences were down by the time we got there. best three days of my life.

    A re-creation of that picture was done on the Isle of Misfits. Here's what it looks like today;

    I look at that picture and my first thought is it looks like 20 to 1 guys versus girls. I've always heard about all the wild, drug induced sex at Woodstock. Drugs I can buy but with a serious shortage of women and zero privacy I'm guessing the wild sex was the drug induced male fantasies of non-existent wild sex!! 😁
