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.

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.

Kukri,

Beautiful, baby. Beautiful.

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.
