I wish I was there......

I was 7 years old in the summer of \'69. I already loved the music of that era. I was in Northwest Indiana at that time living by Lake Michigan. If anyone was going to Woodstock I would have gone with them.

What amazes me is getting 500,000 people in one spot for 3 days and it was a peaceful assembly! Try that today and see how the public would behave.

I\'m all for peace and love and not war. We need intervening as a nation to show us what peace and love is all about.

I have a 19 year old friend and he\'s a hippie. He wasn\'t even born yet but he was already a hippie. Our desire is to paint up a van and travel all over spreading our message of peace and love.

Peace man, far out and make love not war!

Peace to you baby..... it is seldom that history can repeat itself, up in Toronto we were forunate to attend the Sars concert in \'03, over 400,000 people enjoyed themselves and partied hardy. It was a peaceful event amost 35 years after the Woodstock 69, so large crowds of people can gather and in Max\'s thoughts can gather and have fun and listen to great music. Make love not war folks.....
