Woodstock, hippies, peace and love - you've got to be a certain generation to even know what I'm talking about. I remember commenting on a "hippie bus" some years ago and my dear heart's older grandson asked "what's a hippie?" How do you answer that one?
One of my favourite songs, and the source of one of my
favourite quotes “life is for learning” is Joni Mitchell's Woodstock. I love it for its sense of celebration
and idealism (though in the real world, I’m not sure butterflies would have
been much use against the Luftwaffe) but which version?
Joni’s – she wrote it, though I didn't hear this version until I sought it out on YouTube some years ago
Which is your favourite?
Ahhhhhhhhhh ... Kat ! good old Woodstock !!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ! ;-)

Hi Els, have you got the film as well? All those happy smiley people hoping for a different future. I like to think they left at least some lasting and positive legacy :-)
