1,2,3 what are we fighting for?

Woodstock has become my life for the past two hours.  Lucky me, I was awarded with two vinyl albums of the original Woodstock soundtrack, six records total, and I've been happily blasting the sounds of 1969 through my ancient turntable speakers.  I wasn't completely sure if it's work, seeing as the records have been in some garage for the most recent years, and furthermore, I didn't know what I'd like, seeing as I didn't know the majority of the bands listed on the cover, however, I am so incredibly happy right now it's a bit ridiculous.  Some fantastic new artists I've discovered include Country Joe & the Fish, John B. Sebastian, as well as Sly & the Family Stone.  Country Joe's "Fixin' to Die" is up above for you guys to check out.
The greatest thing about these records is not just the music, but the recordings themselves.  Every three songs or so they stream noise from the audience, and they've recorded transitions and stage announcements, the works.  There's a lot of: "ya dig man?" and "c'mon man, we got like, five thousand people here today man!" and "you motherfuckers need to sing louder if you wanna end this war!" and it's pretty much better than amazing.  Plus, even more cool, some band finished up their song screaming "YEAHHHH MARIJUANA!!!!".  Needless to say, there were most definitely hippies under the influence of cannabis present to chill for three days in tents and enjoy music.

But it's cool, because it's good music.  Oh and don't worry about me, I'm pure and innocent.

I just like the music.


Anyways, I was also thoroughly entertained by Joan Baez talking about the success of a hunger strike to end the war.  Ahhhh love.  Well, my readers, go listen to Woodstock era jams and have a groovy day.
