watching woodstock

thursday night, i welcome you! tonight's feature presentation will be woodstock: 3 days of peace and music (the director's cut). i borrowed it from matt and am super excited to watch it! and since sharing is caring, i'm blogging for all ya'll so it's like you're watching with me. i know, i know... you're welcome :)

now with volume up high and betsey by my side, i explore (arguably) what is the best of woodstock...

-opening with hendrix "star spangled banner" ... predictable but necessary!
- it's always so much fun watching video and looking at pictures from this decade. do i think i might fit in? i think so... but maybe not any more or less than i do now
- there were so many people at woodstock!
- marijuanaaaa presented by jerry garcia. oooOK!
- finallyyyyy a live performance instead of background music. not that i didn't thoroughly enjoy the video montage and such.... but let's rock it!
- richie havens.... not bad, not bad at all!
- poison? bad acid? oye!
- he loves me, he loves me not... he loves me, he loves me not...
- see me feel me touch me heal me
- yea, joe cocker!
- biggest inconvenience at any festival? rain!
- nudity! finally! HOORAY!
- cs&n! yay!

interfuckingmission............ ((to be continued tomorrow night))

so.. it's been awhile. ugh! sometimes i can never seem to follow through on my thoughts or activities. it's definitely a character flaw... but whatever! here i am watching the second disc of woodstock and i'm stoked.

betseyyyy, where are youuuuuu?

- still loving the video montages
- i'm grooooooovin'
- naked babies!!!
- sing-a-long!!!
- old people!!!
- naked adults!!!
- i want to take you higherrrrr
- janis. amazing.
- HENDRIXXXXXXXXXX
- ... hendrix is still going. don't. stop.
- holy shit! what a mess!
- ending with "woodstock" - predictable and necessary!

moral of the story: loved this movie. will borrow again.

but the questions remains: was woodstock the greatest concert ever? and could there ever be another concert representing such talent and for great purpose?
