Monday Music Mambo

Week 112

1. If you were old enough to go to the original Woodstock, would you have gone? If you are old enough, did you want to go or did you go? (If you DID go, you better tell us a good story about it).

Well, see, I was around when the first one happened, but I was almost-6. If I'd had different parents (like, 180-degrees different!) and lived in upper New York State, I might've been there.
But I didn't.
Had I been 20-25, I probably would have wanted to go, but it would have been a geographic hurdle to even have heard> of it in time to get there.
If it happened at the age I am now, I wouldn't be bothered: too old, don't care for a lot of today's music, not thrilled about lack of toilets, and crowds, uhm, don't thrill me.

2. Other than Jimi Hendrix, what group or artist would you have absolutely not missed at Woodstock? If you need help, go here.

Janis. That's all. I could die a very happy person having seen her perform.
That's irony, by the way. What a waste to have lost her talent.

3. If you were in charge of the lineup of an all new Woodstock, name at least two acts for each day of a three-day event.

I wouldn't go, but there would have to be a lot of rappers: Jay-Z, Ludacris, et al. (I'd hang around for Eminem if he were there, and Kanye too). Let's see.... Green Day? Beyonce for sure. I don't know enough current bands to be coherent about this, unfortunately.
Here's who I'd stay for, beyond those that I already mentioned I'd listen to: Steve Earle, The Dixie Chicks, Santana, Teddy Thompson, Black-Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys...
If ANY Jessicas showed up, I'm SO OUT OF THERE!!
