Now I'm Old

I just had a myLotter ask me what Woodstock was. I know for many of you, you are familiar with the largest music festival of the 60s. You even know all the bands and people who played there. You might have been in attendance during that rainy weekend in New York State in August 1969. I wasn't there, and I didn't find out about it until after it was over. I remember some of the news stories about it and how the media of that time thought it was the worst thing to happen to that farm and small town in New York. I was in my teens back then and in no position to go to the festival even if I had known about it. Having someone ask me what Woodstock was, brought me up short and made me realize I'm in the older generation. Young people don't know what took place in the last century. They missed out on the moon landing that same year, just a few weeks before Woodstock. They don't know about hippies and big hair. They even missed bell-bottom trousers, mini skirts, and beehives. It was the Flower Power generation where sex, drugs, and rock and roll were the signs of the times. Free love reigned supreme. If you are old enough to remember Woodstock and the 60s. What is your fondest memory from that era of history? Thanks for reading. Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons
