Great stuff Kukri.
I too was too young to 'get' all that late 60s stuff. I was still in love with The Tremeloes at that time.
My time was yet to come, but when it did, oh boy!
Something seems to have got lost with the music of today. I blame Simon Cowell.
Oh yeah, Les Paul, what would we rock and rollers have done without his 'special'. Great man, terrible loss. RIP man.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: Woodstock
Oh, wow, awesome. Kukri, you have no idea - you could've just told me you were Neil Armstrong and walked on the moon forty years ago and I would be less impressed.
What a great story. Good times, wish I would've been there, but way before my time. You made history man. Youth culture in '68 and '69 shaped our world.
RIP Les Paul. A great man, a great guitar. I bought one, hoping to become as cool as people like KukriKhan.
Re: Woodstock
Haha. Honestly, I was sorta swept up by events totally out of my control. The event didn't seem all that big a deal at the time, except when somebody got on the PA and announced how large the crowd was - 400K.
It wasn't until I returned to Detroit and saw the news coverage that I realized the impact: almost half-a-million 18-35 year olds could peaceably, and almost spontaneously, assemble in one spot, "suffer" hardship together, and actually enjoy the time.
I went directly to work the following Monday, mudstains still on my uniform. My supervisor asked: "You didn't go to that Woodstick thing, did you?". "Nah, I was horrible sick, Boss", I answered. He knew I was lying (I think), but never pushed the issue.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Kukri,
Beautiful, baby. Beautiful.
Unto each good man a good dog
Re: Woodstock
Kukri, there's no other way to say it: You're simply too cool for me. I can so easily see you having attended, too -- it's not hard to picture at all.
