Monthly Archives: August 2009

The temperature in NYC never climbed above 90 in June and July. That hasn’t occurred in about a century. So let’s just chill this summer, knickerbockers.

The opening words from the cover article of Rolling Stone in August 1969, just days after Woodstock:

“With a joyous three-day shriek, the inheritors of the earth came to life
in an alfalfa field outside the village of Bethel, New York. Slapping the spark
of life into the newborn was American rock and roll music.”

That’s the Rolling Stone I once loved and now miss.

And that’s the Woodstock I once lived and always will.
