This brings tears to my eyes. Nope, I didn't make it to Woodstock. I had other things going on.

Always like the song.
Was a little young for Woodstock, only 10 yrs. old in '69.

Well...I have a time or two. :o
Once after being shot in the face, nose and corner of right eye. :shock: Edit: with a paintball gun. 8-)
Detached retina, :roll: No safety glasses, then for a day after a cataract surgery.

Summer of 69, I was an IP at Ft. Wolters, Texas, listening to that hippie music and teaching others how to not kill themselves or their crew on their upcoming adventure in SE Asia.

I have two just like it. Last summer I shot one of them almost nonstop. After a 5,000 round jar it finally gave up the ghost.
