I almost went to Woodstock, but even though having been there is considered an iconic experience, I'm glad I never went.

From what I heard about it, it was TOO wild for me! (plus, I don't like crowds)

Does that mean you use antique surfboards or that you are graying just a bit?

Woodstock CBS coverage 8-18-1969

CBS News coverage of WoodStock from August 18, 1969. With commercials and a commentary from a really hip guy.

Country Joe's Anti Vietnam War Song Woodstock

McDonald was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in El Monte, California, where he was student conductor and president of his high school marching band.[2] At the age of 17, he enlisted in the United States Navy for three years and was stationed in Japan. After his enlistment, he attended Los Angeles City College for a year. In the early 1960s, he began busking on the famous Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California.[1]

His father, Worden McDonald, from Oklahoma, was of Scottish Presbyterian heritage (the son of a minister); he worked for a telephone company. His mother, Florence Plotnick, was the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants and served for many years on the Berkeley city council.[3][4][5] In their youth, both were Communist Party members before renouncing the cause, and named their son after Joseph Stalin.[6]

McDonald has recorded 33 albums and has written hundreds of songs over a career spanning 40 years. In 1965, he and Barry Melton co-founded Country Joe & the Fish which became a pioneer psychedelic rock band with their eclectic performances at the Avalon Ballroom, the Fillmore, the Monterey Pop Festival, and both the original and 1979 reunion Woodstock Festivals. Their best known song is his "The "Fish" Cheer/I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag" (1965), a black comedy novelty song about the Vietnam War, whose familiar chorus ("One, two, three, what are we fighting for?")[7] is well known to the Woodstock generation and Vietnam veterans of the 1960s and '70s.

I was 32, had the car and the friends who wanted to go with me, but I can't remember now why we didn't do it. Maybe I saw the weather report.

Dear Friend RIO: Endless Summer brings back great memories.

I also favored the poster of Endless Love. Little Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles playing tennis.

(Wow, that was terrible)!

LOL.

The POSTER as an art form is able to use color, text and design in conjunction with one another often to create iconic imagery.

Within this group, I dare say the "JAWS" poster is one that most people would recognize instantly -- even if the word "JAWS" were to be written in other languages.

I agree on the recognizabilityfactor and thanks for the insight on the style and technique.

One man's iconic is another man's dreck.

(To coin a phrase)
