Well with enough time, effort, soul searching, spiritual connecting, and inner work.. yes it can. I'm 26 years of age.. the exact age Alan Wilson of Canned Heat was at the time of Woodstock 1969, and people all the time tell me I could have lived back then and that I'm an Old Soul not a Poser..Those people include Muruga Booker who was Tim Hardin's Drummer at Woodstock and he would tell me all the time that I got it right and that I'm truly blessed because I continue to spread the message, embrace/embody the life-style, and use the philosophy that his generation did .. Plus Ticia Agri who was Michael Lang's Assistant once told me because of the time and effort to spiritually connect with Woodstock, opening my mind to embracing conscientious awareness, getting to know to the Beautiful People who attended & performed at Woodstock, understanding why it happened, and the Message of Woodstock.. that I probably know more about than anyone who was there haha.. When she told me this I was surprised because I wasn't even born yet for 1 and 2.. I understand why she said it and wasn't just because of my time and effort to connect with it all.. but because of the fact she sees that Version of herself from 1969 in me.. Idk about anyone else.. but to me.., that's 2 Of The Greatest Honors that I or anyone could receive from 2 Woodstock Attendees that are still living and breathing The Spirit Of Woodstock till this day :)
Barry and David influenced my guitar learning... I first heard them when I was just 7 in 1973... All of the guitar players on the Woodstock album influenced me, as did the Monterey Pop album.(it took me another 10 years to see the films!
That thousand yard stare man haha. I've noticed a few things about this: - He's probably exhausted since he came at the start, and this is Day 3 (the rain day) I believe too! - That drummer is fantastic - but GOD DAMN he is without a doubt in my mind on Crank/Cocaine he's flyin higher than his arms are fast! Plus as an ex user - his bug eyes and chewing his mouth off were a dead giveaway Makes you wonder how many people were on a darker frequency and said "lets just stay up on crank for the ENTIRE festival" haha HAD to of been a few
Happy Birthday Barry "The Fish" Melton born on June 14, 1947. He is the co-founder and original lead guitarist of Country Joe and the Fish. He appears on all the Country Joe and the Fish recordings. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Melton
I find it very sad they attempted a second woodstock in 99 and it fell flat on its face with shitty nu metal bands headlining. A total embarrassment 🤦♂️
@@tastemaker_87 They even tried a 50 th anniversary one back in 19 and that didnt even get off the ground, it was just far too long ago and too different of a time period to make it work again. Also so many had passed away at this point. The line up was mostly full of singers who had nothing to do with Woodstock . It was better to just let the memory of different time live on .
HOLY S@#$!! I did NOT know that bout C.J... You my COMRADE are NOT disabled but this current crisis in America is SURELY goin that way.. As you were Soldier.. Spclst.4 Gomez Nam Vet Class of 70-71..
An explosion of deep thought coupled with music, art, cultural revolution that brought us together for a common cause... at least, most of us. We lost, they won.
This is the first time that I've really listened to this song. I just love it! It's so electric and fiery and so psychedelic! Guitar and organ couldn't possibly sound any better and the rolls that he's ripping on the drums are so fast and amazing! I've got to learn how to play this song.
These guys could kick ass live....but they could never get a real good album together. The "Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die" album is probably their best in my opinion.
Bearded teens carage band. Never liked Country Joe & The Fish, they don't rock. All they can do is rolling joints. Is there anything more uncool? Not really.
