This week: 'I Love You, Man' pretty much sums up the mood at the Woodstock festival, 40 yrs ago this weekend. Cynics argue Aug 15 '69's love-fest was the beginning of the end of a movement that went nowhere, but we disagree - minority & women's rights and a VW bus-load of other concerns (can 56m 39sec of Hendrix actually blow your mind?) were brought to the event.
