Woodstock

After months of conflict, the troubled festival finally pulls the plug.

Drummer Tre Cool recalls the moment weather-fueled “mayhem” turned in his band’s favor.

It was on this day in 1969 that the most famous music festival ever opened up. Woodstock has been the subject of songs, movies, and even other Woodstocks. With the exposure the festival generated, most people now know the basics of what happened over that weekend in the middle of August. There are some interesting facts that I came across, that i didn't know at least, and found quite interesting.

Finally, there’s a chance for the fans who crashed the gate at the original Woodstock music festival to make up for not buying tickets to the legendary three-day event in August 1969. A historic sign from the festival’s site in Bethel, N.Y., is in bad shape, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is behind a campaign to raise the $24,000 needed for its restoration.
