The whole program made my heart ache. Woodstock was very primitive by today's concert standards, but culturally it was magnificent. I expect I'll see the new Ang Lee movie about Woodstock someday, but I would be extremely surprised if the movie truly captures the spirit of the event. (Mind you, I did not attend - I wanted to but I was too young to travel across the country.) I saw this couple on a special about Woodstock this weekend…on either MTV or VH1.
