3 days of Peace and Love

40 years ago the concert at Bethel NY took place.
I try to never forget.
It gave me a tribe to bond with and help set my values in life.

I remember man had just walked on the Moon and the Mets, the Mets! were headed for first place.
Anything was possible in 1969.

Any recollections from 40 years ago?

1969-I was 12, trying to figure out WHY I suddenly LIKED girls as opposed to throwing rocks at 'em, ESPECIALLY this one blonde honey named Melissa...Wishing my dad would trade the dumpy ol' 1967 Mercury Colony Park wagon on a '69 Lincoln sedan...Damn, Melissa sure is cute...7th grade is gonna be COOL...Why would anybody want to go to upstate New York, stay outside, slide around in the mud, not take a shower...Uggggh !... Wish I could go & take Melissa w/me, but I dunno why...

69 I was 2. Not much to remember. Then again 40 years later I can pretty much say the same thing.
