OHWOWMAN

Forty years? Really? Seems like, uh, only 37 or something. Among everything else it's been hailed as, Woodstock was also THE biggest, most publicized example of illegal music sharing. Think about it: All those who didn't have tickets, who bum-rushed the farm anyway, bolting over fences and "stealing" music meant for those who paid for it. In 1969, we had vinyl albums with--more often than not--groovy artwork. Sometimes they'd have a poster or calendar or paper panties (see Chicago @ Carnegie Hall, Chicago V, Alice Cooper's Killer and School's Out). Some even came with iron-ons of the cover art and rolling papers (Chicago 8, Cheech & Chong Big Bambu). Nowadays? Just FBI warnings on overpriced cds. Hey, THANKS. And it all started 40 years ago this weekend. But to quote our friend Grace Slick, "It doesn't mean shit to a tree." Hope you caught her with Ladd on Friday and the rest of the Woodstock Weed-end on 95.5 KLOS, man.
