Musical fields above Woodstock.

I was too young for Woodstock and I was living in Australia.

Once I took

too many mushrooms

and decided

to walk downtown.

There I boarded a bus

up the hill to the festival.

I could see

 the entire bus route

in my mind.

I saw my thoughts

step off the bus

in total wonder.

We made it!

We were here!

In the psychedelic world

of my stratosphere high

I lifted off in an aerial display

to the tunes of Woodstock.

I was free.

See me feel me

Who?

Me!

That entire time period felt surreal...like the world was on magic mushrooms...Ken Kersey...Magical Mystery Tour...Vietnam...riots... the Civil Rights Movement all tied together in one big ball of angst.

I think it was music that pulled us through.

A good write, Andrew

What a spectacle it would have been with such great musicians. Thanks Ted.

great reference to "Tommy" to the Who...one of the many who made it happen...what an event...my second ex wife lived down the road from it...but didn't feel like dealing with the crowds...so she stayed away...awww...i would have gone had i been that close...you brought me there with your thoughts here...at least in my mind....i was Hendricks do the National Anthem..

Yes I’ve always been there in mind only watching documentaries on Woodstock and bands playing. Hendricks did some classy songs All along the watchtower and Hey Joe my favs still to this day and burning the midnight lamp. Thanks J.

What a magical experience you had with your mushrooms. Never tried them myself but have heard lots of accounts of some amazing trips.
