Activity 2

My life has never been the same since that August, 1969. Back in that year, I was a 20-year-old restless guy who lived in New York. 1. -------I had driven for some hours by the time I got to the road leading to the Yasgar farm.I had finished my high school studies at John Adams High School some monthsWe hadn’t bought tickets in advance but by time we got thereI had never before been in such an extravagant music festival like this one.There has never seen any other event in the history of music festivals like Woodstock.I had also discovered marijuana bur I didn't like it at allDuring the entire weekend I never saw or heard a fight or altercation of any kind.I had been to a few local concerts but this was going oto be a whole weekend of musicBy the time I got home, my parents had already decided to ground for a month, before they announced a “Peace and Music” event from August 15 to August 18, 1969. It was the Woodstock Music Festival. Max B. Yasgur a dairy-farm owner had offered his 600-acre farm in Bethel, New York, so hundreds of thousands of people attended the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in August, 1969.

My contemporaries and I were feeling the upcoming changes. The Viet Nam war and fear of being enlisted, revolutionary music from Beatles and Rolling Stones, and free love philosophy had all changed me somehow. 2.-------By the time I got home, my parents had already decided to ground for a month,I had finished my high school studies at John Adams High School some monthsI had been to a few local concerts but this was going oto be a whole weekend of musicThere has never seen any other event in the history of music festivals like Woodstock.I had also discovered marijuana bur I didn't like it at allI had never before been in such an extravagant music festival like this one.We hadn’t bought tickets in advance but by time we got thereI had driven for some hours by the time I got to the road leading to the Yasgar farm.During the entire weekend I never saw or heard a fight or altercation of any kind... I just grew my hair long, changed my clothing to dyed shirts and bell bottom pants.

So it was only natural to run away from home to go to Woodstock. 3.-------I had driven for some hours by the time I got to the road leading to the Yasgar farm.We hadn’t bought tickets in advance but by time we got thereI had been to a few local concerts but this was going oto be a whole weekend of musicI had never before been in such an extravagant music festival like this one.By the time I got home, my parents had already decided to ground for a month,I had also discovered marijuana bur I didn't like it at allDuring the entire weekend I never saw or heard a fight or altercation of any kind.I had finished my high school studies at John Adams High School some monthsThere has never seen any other event in the history of music festivals like Woodstock. and a city of kids like me from all over the country. Some people, including me, came prepared with tents and food and camped in an area up behind the stage and the farmhouse.

The organizers had installed portable toilets and it was a short walk through the woods to the stage. By the time we arrived cars were already parking along the road and we had to walk in. I remember I felt blown away at what was happening. Some people had started a yoga session in a space of the field as they set up the stage. 4.-------By the time I got home, my parents had already decided to ground for a month,I had been to a few local concerts but this was going oto be a whole weekend of musicI had also discovered marijuana bur I didn't like it at allDuring the entire weekend I never saw or heard a fight or altercation of any kind.I had never before been in such an extravagant music festival like this one.There has never seen any other event in the history of music festivals like Woodstock.I had finished my high school studies at John Adams High School some monthsWe hadn’t bought tickets in advance but by time we got thereI had driven for some hours by the time I got to the road leading to the Yasgar farm., we learned it was a free concert! When one of my favorite bands came to perform, I got extremely excited! It had turned into an unforgettable life experience!

The music was simply great! All the popular names where there performing live: Janis Joplin, Joe Coker, Richie Havens, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, and Jimmie Hendrix, among many others but that’s all I remember. They had set up several stages and the music was nonstop. 5.-------I had never before been in such an extravagant music festival like this one.By the time I got home, my parents had already decided to ground for a month,I had been to a few local concerts but this was going oto be a whole weekend of musicI had finished my high school studies at John Adams High School some monthsI had also discovered marijuana bur I didn't like it at allI had driven for some hours by the time I got to the road leading to the Yasgar farm.We hadn’t bought tickets in advance but by time we got thereThere has never seen any other event in the history of music festivals like Woodstock.During the entire weekend I never saw or heard a fight or altercation of any kind..

Many of us stayed until the crowds became less noisy for another 6 hours or so. Then we walked to our cars, tired, dirty, but smiling from ear to ear because we had had the best weekend of our lives. I slept in my car until I could get back on the road and drove home. 6.-------I had been to a few local concerts but this was going oto be a whole weekend of musicWe hadn’t bought tickets in advance but by time we got thereI had never before been in such an extravagant music festival like this one.I had finished my high school studies at John Adams High School some monthsBy the time I got home, my parents had already decided to ground for a month,There has never seen any other event in the history of music festivals like Woodstock.I had also discovered marijuana bur I didn't like it at allDuring the entire weekend I never saw or heard a fight or altercation of any kind.I had driven for some hours by the time I got to the road leading to the Yasgar farm..
