"It was 20 years ago today" sang the Beatles, actually over 40 years
ago. When also, I might add, Paul wondered if he'd still be loved "when
he's 64." Which, Happy Birthday Paul, he turned this August.

The summer of '69. Indelibly etched in the minds of most Boomers, (if you were REALLY enjoying the 60's it might be a fuzzy memory). Alternatively, if you are currently lamenting your memory loss, might also be a fuzzy memory.

Alas, the 40th anniversary of Woodstock event, to be held this summer, has been canceled.

But back to a twirl down memory lane.

Neil Armstrong, bounding (does one bound?) out of the Eagle, the lunar vehicle of the Apollo 11, stating "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" actually has claimed that he said "one small step for A man…." which apparently some editor thought not as pithy.

Not, it seems to have not been heard.

Anyway, I for one, do remember the first Woodstock weekend. Didn't go, but do remember it vividly.
No Cheech and Chong fuzzy memories here. (Do you know who Cheech and Chong are?)

This weekend we will have many replays, plus a documentary or two or three, revisiting this culturally iconic event. And for Neil and Buzz, nary a shopping mall event.

Okay, I lied. There was a great photo op with Barack Obama.

Happy Anniversary.
