An inquiry for the masses. I am sure most, if not all involved in this digest 
are familiar with the movie " Message To Love: The Isle Of Wight Festival " 
because of the traumatic episode involving Joni. If so , is there anyone who 
was there or more specifically, is there anyone who was part of the group 
called " Desolation Row". I ask because I was part of that group but didn't 
know it until I saw the movie. I was 19, cared about the music, had no 
interest in the "Free Concert Revolution ", waited for hours on the side of 
the mountain to hear JM, and was unbelievably pissed off when the mike was 
taken from her. I actually don't remember the name of the guy who took the 
mike, but he was telling the truth about the free tickets. I got one of the 
first ones, never used it because the hillside was less crowded and you could 
hear pretty well, then put it in a book for safe keeping years ago and now 
can't find it. No big deal. However, aside from the trouble maker, who by the 
way, ended the revolution as soon as he hooked up with a woman, I met some 
wonderful people and would like to correspond with any of them. I would 
especially like to find someone nicknamed " Chickey " She is shown during an 
interview just standing and smiling by herself with a bandana across her 
head. It covered what I guess was a large birth mark on her forehead but I 
don't think that it bothered her. In any case, she was the mother hen to all 
in the group, organized food and fire at night,and just had a wonderful way 
about her. I met a few from the group back in the states because they were 
students at Princeton University and they invited me to party with them. I 
have lost contact and would now like to renew it. Ifanyone can help, please 
e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
