    How could anyone not like this? I think it is so great to see this wonderful musician perform still as if he was in his twenties. Hé mr. McDonald, my greatest respect to you. You really made a difference and not only in th USA but also in Europe, for instance in The Netherlands were I am from. We knew what this song was all about and it's importance. Again, it is great to see you are still alive and kicking. ❤️

    Fantastic!! I am a woodstock hippie and I was 13 years old when woodstock was first getting some advertisement I imediately made some plans and decided that the only way I could ever go ws to just go. to run away from home (Austin TX) so I did. I hitch-hiked all the way from Austin TX to Pennsyvania where I got stopped hitch-hiking by the state police. They arrested me and called my parents back in Texas. Before my dad got all the way to pa to get me I escaped custody by leaving when they let me go outside in the rec yard. My dad was super pissed. It took 4 more days of very paranoid under-age travelling, but I made it and never regreted one minute of the mud or the nowhere to pee or even the unforgiving rain and pissed off atitudes
