I had one, and it came with a little key for what all the colors meant, so I tried to pretend to be certain emotions to see that color on the ring :p
I had a Pet Rock. I gave it to a friend's teen-age daughter. I don't think she understood the importance of it.

I was too far from Woodstock and a little on the young side - I was 17, and a wannabe hippie. Within a year, I was a real hippie! I did see the Woodstock movie. I wonder if you could find that somewhere, like Netflix?

As for the music, I loved it all. My favourite Byrds song was 8 miles high! This looks like it comes from the Ed Sullivan Show
Lol first time I went to a big concert I was 15. Ozzfest actually, one of the last they had. Probably biggest music festival for my generation. Oh man I stuck out like a sore thumb there being one of the few not dressed in black and since I have no tattoos or piercings. Was a pretty good show though for sure, never seen Blossom (biggest outdoor venue in the region) so packed. Lol I didn't even like most of the bands, but watching the crowd alone was half the show lol.

Makes me think I haven't been to a big concert in many years, not since high school. Last formal concert I saw was Journey and Def Leppard, was a very good show too. I suppose maybe Blue Oyster Cult be last big band I seen play, they played at our Hall of Fame Ribs Burn Off last year (2014, not 2015), but I was there moreso for the ribs than the music lol.

Well enough reminiscing on 70s and 80s bands playing in the 21st century. Back to the hippies' generation:

Oh please say it isn't so. I'll never be able to look at your avatar again and keep a straight face!

I would come home from work and watch it reported on the evening news. There could never be a Woodstock II. Needless to say I was and am against Free Love.

Make Love not War!

Hey! I had Rocky for 35 years before I passed him on to a kid I thought would cherish him like I did.

Poor Rocky. Probably was feeling a little underappreciated with her :(
Yeah, I had a guilt thing going for a couple of years over that. I never had the nerve to ask what became of him. I just tell myself that she finally understood him, and came to love him like I did.

i was at the '94 woodstock.

wavy gravy did the announcing again - warning about the 'felix the cat' acid this time, instead of the brown, les claypool of primus played the national anthem on his bass, crosby stills and nash played -- and so did 'the band' - and the grateful dead, jerry included, appeared on stage with them and played a few songs, including 'throwing stones.'

the atmosphere was very kind throughout -- i heard that in '99 it was a much different scene, but i didn't go there.

i remember when i first arrived, the violent femmes were playing, and i could hear them singing "Jesus walking on the water" as i walked through the gate.
4 days later, crammed into school buses in summer heat, waiting for hours in queue to be taken miles away to parking lots, a fleet of haagens-das trucks pulled in and gave out free ice cream to everyone.

one night i met carlos santana around the rainbow people's fire pit, and played my drum for him, and we talked for an hour about music, and the heart, and people. i didn't even realize who he was for most of the time we were talking.

what Willy said - about feeling like a part of humanity, a closeness, yeah. apart from my new life in Christ, i think i know what you mean there. but all of that pales with Christ - it was all a passing thing, a memory now, as much as that memory might glimmer, in Christ, there is life; a fire that can never be extinguished, but doesn't consume :)

What do the simple folk do? Guess the younger generation don't understand the primitive mind. ;)

Did Wavy tell people to kiss because it strengthens their lips like he did in the 60's? I think the 60's were more about rebellion than anything else. The 60's had to have been satanicly inspired, they were the devil's playground.

Even the Bond movies had a effect on music

So cool! A memory to cherish for a lifetime.
