Woodstock

The husband and I watched the Woodstock festival Sunday. We were on a staycation over Labor Day weekend. Actually we have been on a staycation all summer. We listened to Jimmy Hendricks. Could you imagine being there when he played the Star Spangled Banner? The husband didn't like Janis Joplin then or now. I loved Janis then and now. She and I can do a mean "Me and Bobby McGee". Wonder how Jimmy and Janis would be living today? The husband said about half way through that he should have gone. Many of his college classmates from RPI did. That is when it hit me. All those rolling in the mud, pot smoking, LSD tripping, free love, peace, Woodstock participants are now all in their 50s and 60s. They are me and the husband. Overweight, bald , grey hair, Viagra addicts, tax payers, grandparents and gasp - maybe even Republicans! My children think the husband and I are so boring. Little do they know we were the generation of make love not war. Sing it Janis! Play it LOUD Jimmy!
