I was honestly at Woodstock, 17 yrs. old and new to the “culture”. Good experience, great music live and later on vinyl and DVD. Was straight the whole wknd and don’t recall getting the flu then or after. I do recall the rain and mud. Only made it to Sat nite.
This article seems like a waste of words to criticize a then seminal event. Give me an “F”
RE: I do recall the rain and mud.
Dirt has some strange way of waking your immune system, causing it to activate itself on the lookout for foreign pathogenic invaders.
I’m not telling people to get dirty, don’t get me wrong. I’m just saying that isolating yourself in a virtual bubble doesn’t “train” your immune system to harden itself.
I was 16 and on vacation in Florida during Woodstock. Dad got one of the local papers from home. There on I think the cover page was photo a girl from my homeroom class. So yes some people really did attend or know someone who did attend.
