Aug 22 50 Years Later: Looking Back on Woodstock

This week, I’ve been thinking a lot about 1969 — and Woodstock. And Max Yasgur.

There are a lot of reasons for this. This past weekend, of course, marked the 50-year anniversary of Woodstock. And it also would’ve been commemorated by Woodstock 50 — which, at one point, had confirmed as headliners The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Halsey, Miley Cyrus, Robert Plant, The Raconteurs, Cage the Elephant and Janelle Monáe.
