MAX YASGUR
Max Yasgur was forty-nine years old in 1969 and had lived near the town of Bethel for most of his life. His dairy business supplied milk to many of the local residents, and the festival grounds included fields that had only recently held much of his dairy herd. A staunch conservative and astute businessman, Yasgur had little in common with the four promoters, but he strongly supported their right to hold the festival.
"Look, the reason you don't want them here is because you don't like what they look like. And I don't particularly like what they look like either. But that's not the point. They may be protesting the war, but thousands of American soldiers have died so they can do exactly what they're doing. That's what the essence of the country is all about."

Ted Tocks Covers - Year 6 - Day 88

Anniversary of Woodstock - Day 3

Part three of a three day retrospective of Woodstock.

“Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?”

Going down to Yasgur's farm with #MaxYasgur, #JoniMitchell and #CrosbyStillsNashandYoung. Yasgur died on this day, 50 years ago, but he will forever be remembered for this address to #Woodstock nation.

"...But above that, the important thing that you’ve proven to the world is that a half a million kids...can get together and have three days of fun and music and have nothing but fun and music..."
