I was just thinking about my childhood and was curious about how I could have been such a Woodstock fan but I mean to a really extreme extent. To the degree that was kind of ridiculous for a young kid in the late 80s. I mean I didn't think of myself as a hippie or draw peace signs all over my notebooks or anything. I just remember being a huge "Woodstock-lover". Strange, I know. I guess, apart from Hendrix being my all-time idol (far and above any profession athlete), things were just different back then (the late 60s, I mean). Perhaps it has something to do with how much media promoted the concept of the "generation of the 60s" and everything, but that can't explain it entirely. I don't know. But I just found this, and honestly I can't think of anything that I've heard, read, seen or witnessed recently that effects me to such a great extent. Honestly, it's 8 minutes that makes shivers run through my whole body. I can't help myself. It gets me every time.

This song always reminds me of the Wonder Years which in turn, always reminds me of you. I remember watching the Wonder Years every Wednesday night growing up and I think that probably had a big impact on you and your love for the 60s as well. Maybe I'm wrong but the Wonder Years seems like it was probably our first glimpse into what the 60s were all about.
