August 17-August 23, 1998 We hate to toot our own horn. But dammit, we're funny. Amusing. Jocular. Whimsical. Comical. At least once a week you'll find something around here vaguely clever. We make you laugh. Um, don't we?

By The Time We Teethed At Woodstock... It comes from the Bastardizing Cool Memories department: In case you missed it this weekend, Woodstock was going on. Specifically, this was the 29th anniversary of the real Woodstock. You remember: Mud, drugs, cool free music. Max Yasgur's old farm was accessible this weekend for a mere $165 for three days. And by the way: Jimi Hendrix is dead. But for your $165, you could've seen Don Henley, Stevie Nicks, Ziggy Marley, Loud Reed, Third Eye Blind, Goo Goo Dolls, Joan Osborne and Dishwalla, among others. What, Van Halen couldn't make it? Reports indicated that over a third of the crowd for this joke was under 12 years old. In other words: Wealthy ex-hippies appeasing guilt with their kids. Otherwise, this Woodstock was just like the original. Except for the parking lot, the perimeter fencing and the plans (really) to build a theme park. |
