Woodstock

[debidoo]

Did any of you go to the Woodstock music festival and if so would you go to any of the reunions?  I was a high schooler at that time and was invited to go with these kids.  So LOL I went home from school and announced to my mom I was going which amused her greatly prior to giving me a resounding Oh no you are not.When I had kids I understood what a good Mom she truly was although at the time I thought she was ruining all my fun.

  Love your story. I wasn't born yet for Woodstock.

I was born in the early 60's, so wouldn't know too much about Woodstock.

I was an elementary school aged child when Woodstock happened. I might have heard a tiny bit about it at the, but because I was just a kid, it all went over my head. If it had happened when I was a young adult and able to make my decisions, I definitely would have tried to get there!

Thank you for sharing your experience.  I'm glad that you grew to appreciate your Mom and her wisdom. 

As to the Woodstock event, that was before my time.  However, as a musician, I fondly remember rehearsing for a show I was about to perform.  Some of the neighborhood kids sat around my front yard listening to my jams. 

I called that my Mini Woodstock.

I never even thought about going. It was too far to travel in those days because none of us had a dependable car and no one really knew where it was being held. Anyway, my dad would've grounded me until I was 21 if I did go. I don't know anyone from my town who did go.

Too far away. Too weird. Too much bad stuff going on. No desire to go at all.

I believe I was in the young mom stage at the time and I just looked at it as more hippie, free sex and drug culture nonsense.

Wasn't alive but I would have loved to have gone to the original Woodstock days not the festivals following that ended in more harm then what the concept was to begin with.

                       LOL, that takes] me back.  I was only about 12 at the time and lived in the South, so it would have been pretty far away.  If I had been a few years older though, I probably would have gone.

No, I was too young to go but I would have loved to been there!!  If I had been old enough, I would have probably found a way to get there.
