Do you remember Woodstock?

Post by Northern Lass »

So 39 years ago it was flower power and Groovy man everywhere

I remember our school held a stage production and we did Woodstock revisited
for some awful reason I was one of the dancers dressed in a Marks and Spencers turquoise crimpolene
trouser suit, and black patent shoes thinking I looked fab!
It was one of those situations where you think you look really cool and that you are a great dancer
so the music comes on and instead of flowing to the melodic beat you end up doing a hippie hippie shake in
the style of a heavy metal head banger!
I made an absolute spectacle of meself much to the amusement of the whole school
:oops:

What were you like then
were you a hippie
or still a 60's worshipper

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

I think you have good taste Rob, I remember Jefferson Airplane and Ten Years After, brilliant. Who else played at Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix, or was that the Isle of Wight? Linell.
