In 69 I was only ten ,100 miles from Woodstock and the only thing I can remember is man landing on the moon in July . I remember wanting to be a hippie wearing my granny glasses and some kind of medalion around my neck with a crew cut, I looked like an idiot. I always wondered why everybody wore football jerseys with the # 69 on them nobody would tell why. me back then.
I was eight in '69--I remember my mother taking photos of the moon landing on the black-and-white TV in our livingroom!
I think the Peanuts book "Happiness Is a Warm Puppy" had come out by then, and somewhere I saw a parody of it...and I always liked cats more than dogs...so I really wanted one of those T-shirts that said "Happiness Is a Warm [name of 'Roo camp minus Galore]" and couldn't understand why I wasn't allowed.
I got my hippie "thing" around that same time. I lived in a town that went from being a place where poor and working-class government employees lived to a hotbed for youth culture. I soaked up the aesthetic as much as I could, being an only child with much older parents and not much exposure to people of the appropriate age.
I got political, after a fashion, the following year, after Kent State, when I found a Look magazine someone had thrown away and saw a photo essay on the shootings.
I still regret being born too late for all that stuff--and yet being born early enough that I expect I'll be an old broad at 'Roo.
I would love to hear the stories of people who were at Woodstock.
