Turn on, tune in, drop in to new Journal blog on Woodstock fest http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/article/20090322/LIFE/903220303/1005/LIFE
By John W. Barry • Poughkeepsie Journal March 22, 2009 The Woodstock Music and Art Fair was held Aug. 15-18, 1969, in Bethel, Sullivan County. This year marks the 40th anniversary of this event, a three-day concert that attracted hundreds of thousands to the Hudson Valley. The Journal is kicking off its retrospective now for this cultural touchstone for baby boomers. We have launched the Woodstock Turns 40 blog - which will be run by Journal music writer John W. Barry and can be found at www.poughkeepsiejournal.com - for Journal staff and readers to share their thoughts on all things Woodstock. Check out the blog for photos, videos, stories and more about the most famous concert ever to be held, an event many consider the crowning achievement of the 1960s counterculture movement and left an imprint on American popular culture, politics, history, values and of course, music. The impact Woodstock had on the Hudson Valley, in terms of the arts, and cementing this region's place in American history, is perhaps even greater.
