Want to own a piece of real estate history Posted: 2 years ago by tigertony
On August 15, 1969, a farmer named Max Yasgur addressed one of largest assemblies ever to gather when he addressed the crowd at the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival in the name of peace, love and music.
Mr. Yasgur, now a cultural icon, allowed 40 acres of his 1,100 acre farm in upstate New York, to be used for Woodstock, thus making the musical and cultural event of the century possible.
For "only" $8,000,000 this historic landmark can be yours!
BTW: Anyone that says they remember being at Woodstock wasn't really there.

Exactly forty years ago today – July 1, 1969 – a racist ex-convict and wanna-be folk singer in his 40s named Charles Manson shot a black drug dealer by the name of Bernard “Lotsapoppa” Crowe.

Moon Paux Posted: 4 months ago by meggysue
One of the most watched moments in TV history was when Neil Armstrong took the first steps on the Moon on July 20, 1969. But now NASA admits it probably erased its only high resolution images of the first moonwalk to make room for electronic data from a satellite.It is the scientific equivalent of recording a soap opera on top of a prize video of your child's wedding day.
Update to this post.

Jimi Hendrix Woodstock Performance Posted: 1 year ago by dOntEAtpOOp
1969. Hippies and music. If only I could go back in time.
It's the whole f**king show, by the way. Grab a beer, roll a joint, do whatever it is that you do. Sit back and enjoy the show. Maybe dance around a little too if you the music takes you there.
