A museum for Woodstock and relive the '60s

A museum will revive as of June 2 the Woodstock Festival, where also a half-million "hippies" were celebrated in August 1969, Jimi Hendrix, a score of other musical giants, and the birth of the culture-cons U.S..

"Woodstock", a small town about sixty miles north of New York lived or recorded dozens of artists like Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin, is not the place where this historic event took place.

The festival, which marked a whole generation of "baby boomers" in the world, because Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, The Who, Joan Baez and Ravi Shankar have offered free concerts that lasted from dawn to dawn the following and because the public has lived through three days of freedom, drugs, yoga and nudity, was in fact held a farm of 240 acres, 76 miles away in Bethel Woods, about 200 miles north of New York .

The purchase two years ago of the property by Alan Gerry, tycoon local cable television, led the investment of 100 million dollars were needed for the museum and its annexes, and aims to promote the development of tourism region hit by unemployment.

In 1969, the adventure occurred because a young American, Sam Yasgur, had convinced his father to the importance of the project. Max Yasgur, who was 49 years old, took his farm, welcomed the crowd and bore the consequences financially disastrous adventure.

"When Jimi Hendrix gave his approval, the flow of the stars was engulfed," tell the developers in a video shown in the museum, which includes about 1000 square meters a mixture of photographs showing naked or bathing young praying that the rain stops, posters, private messages, cars repainted in psychedelic style and video from a documentary from Warner Brothers but also the time that America lived.

Assassinations of politicians like John and Robert Kennedy or Martin Luther King missile crisis in Cuba, the fight for freedom, the 60s were crucial years for the United States and the museum is the parallel between art and society.

The Vietnam War is everywhere, like in the song of Country Joe and The Fish: "one two three four, why are we fighting? Do not ask me I do not care, the next stop Vietnam.

"If today we have an African-American and a woman in the presidential race, thanks to the legacy of those years," told reporters Richie Havens, who opened the festival when other musicians were stranded on Highway 17, littered with hundreds of thousands of cars.

The artist finally arrived by helicopter near the stage erected in the bottom of the hill we visit now: "I came from Texas with a buddy and I never left, I found a job and a woman" said Duke Devlin, 65, who worked on farms and a tour of places tourists.

If Woodstock was so marked minds, but also enthusiasm for peace that has surrounded the event, where even the police were unarmed and wore badges "peace" instead of "security", and where the army has helicopter delivered food when supplies ran out.

Some pieces were improvised: "They said four more songs + Richie? OK I sang four songs. Then another four, then four. When I knew more, I improvised. Thus + Freedom + born, "says Richie Havens, who opened the Cannes Film Festival with his song worship.

The drug, omnipresent in Woodstock, is invoked only implicit. "We almost sold in shops pills + antacid + to evoke an announcement on stage on pills that were not very good, but ultimately we have not done," said Wade Lawrence, Director of the museum.

Penguins move

Pittsburgh - The Pittsburgh Penguins owner Mario Lemieux announced the sale of the concession by billionaire Alan Gerry, who immediately announced its intention to move the team in the small town of Bethel, in upstate New York ; it has also unveiled plans to build a new arena that will be called Yasgur Performing Arts Center and Sports Arena.

In another vein, the Penguins announced the acquisition of left wingers Corey Stillman Calgary Flames and Rick Nash of Columbus Blue Jackets, and the right wing Scott Young of the St. Louis Blues. The General Manager Craig Patrick mentions that "Nash and Young in my opinion will greatly contribute to the chemistry of the team and should give support Sydney Crosby. Patrick admits that Stillman was not their first choice, "but all our negotiations with the golfer Adrian Stills to convince him to change sports have ended in failure."
