There was something a little disconcerting about seeing this spread in this week’s Target ad:
Woodstock for sale?
At Target?
How can one sell a movement, a feeling, an attitude?
Well, I guess one can: So is it the corporate suit or the man wearing it?
It is kind of weird, but at least the concept is owned by the guys who staged the original concert. I’d be more than a little bothered if Donald Trump or some multi-national corporation owned Woodstock Ventures.
Still, I wonder what Jimi Hendrix would think?
Indeed disturbing– why won’t hippies and their alleged culture just die? “We’re making a change, we’re starting a revolution!” Bullshit! All hippies did is wear stupid fucking clothes, not bathe, listen to endless jams by talentless hacks like The Grateful Dead, and stay perpetually stoned. Those that managed to survive eventually became “The Man” they so vehemently hated. What the world needs is more people with the anti-hippie spirit of Eric Cartman! Let’s drive them to Patagonia or Vermont, where they can live in “peace” with other clueless fucks. I’ve got my Slayer CDs ready to roll– are you with me?

wheee! when the only tool you have is a hammer…
just finished hemming (by hand with a decorative blanket stitch) a home made, tie-dyed extra long blanket for one of the kids. we love tie-dye. I have to make another one this summer so it can go back to college. I’ll probably listen to a little GD while I work, though my ipod shuffled up Traffic, Perry Como, Glenn Gould, The Buena Vista Social Club, and some Black-eyed Peas, among others today. no ‘Stones or KO podcasts this time. there’s always tomorrow.
