Woodstock 1969

This August is the 40th anniversary and the reminder of this really got me thinking. I discovered the existance of this awesome festival last summer when researching music from the 60s. Since then, the idea of a rock festival with communal living has held my interest. I'm not so enthused about the rampant drugs and all the booze, but I believe that Woodstock would have been an experience that would have impacted my life forever. I love most of the music played there. I especially would have liked to see The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson's Airplane, and many others. I would love to just spend three days with my friends and friends I'd met at the festival and just listen to the music that we all love. That may be an imagined version of events, but I still would have loved to visit this historic event. I really wish there was a time machine that would allow me to experience both the Summer of Love and the Woodstock....without messing up some stupid timeline or another.

Hair

I absolutely love the movie Hair. It is an amazing and pretty realistic view of hippies and their way of life and their beliefs. It also has amazing music! In fact the music is originally what induced me to see the movie. I became aquainted with the music when my mom put "Aquarius" on her cell phone as a ringtone. I was intrigued by it solely becuase it mentioned Aquarius, and I was very interested in the Zodiac calendar. Later on I heard the Fifth Dimension cover of the song on the radio and enjoyed it immensely. After that, I learned that originally the song came from the musical Hair, so I deciced to watch it. I found it on the internet, watched it, and immediately fell in love! The music in it is amazing! I especially like the songs: Hair, I Got Life, Aquarius, Let the Sun Shine In, and Walking in Space. I also love the characters and the storyline. My absolute favorite character is Berger played by Treat Williams; I think he's cute and I love his charcter...the way he acts, what he says, how he smiles :). Anyway, if you haven't seen Hair, then you really have to! Peace!
