Happy 50th Anniversary to Woodstock! The festival, which kicked off August 15th, 1969, left its mark on the music world, and a legacy that remains unrivaled. It wasn't about having the biggest names (because some of the biggest of that time didn't perform), it wasn't about the money (because it turned into a free show), it was about the music...
Scared that 400,000 might die as power cable disintegrated, scared that crowd might riot if the music stopped, festival organizers prepared to take their own lives.
