Woodstock

Yeah, 40 years on. Still some standout performances. The Guardian has a couple of pieces on the anniversary: Michael Lang, one of the organisers reflects, and Nick and Bobbi Ercoline, the iconic couple off the poster, briefly talk about Woodstock and their now forty-year marriage.
You know, the right in Amerika are still fighting the sixties culture wars. But try as they might, there was that bright shining moment across the Western world, and it shocked the hell out of the powers that rule us still.
