I was always sad that I did not know about Woodstock until it was over.  After getting tear gassed in Eugene then watching friends get beaten in the park blocks Vortex seamed like such a relief and fun also.  I drove a shuttle car, actually an old truck, from the fields on the main road down to the park.  Met a whole lot of interesting people and got tipped an amazing amount of joints for the rides.  Everyone seamed to think that Jefferson Airplane (Starship) was coming, but were not even disappointed when they did not.  All kinds of different people were there at different times, and I never even heard a disagreement let alone any kind of conflict.  Even the soup was not bad.  Tom McCall was a great governor.  I do not know of another one with his foresight and leadership skills before or sense.
