Taking Woodstock

I'm watching "Woodstock: Then & Now" on The History Channel.  I've got to get a copy of this for my personal collection.  As The Knight can attest I was a HUGE hippie in high school and early college.  The Knight and I were an unlikely pair in those days.  I wore grungy tie-dyes and massive bell bottoms. He was always in a button-down oxfords and penny loafers.  I drove a beat up old Honda hatch-back with every peace lovin', save the Earth hippie sticker I could find plastered all over it.  He and his twin brother shared a Cadillac Cimarron.  Yes, we were a very unlikely couple.  Of course, I could clean up real nice when the situation warranted.  He still remembers what I wore to the annual holiday trip to the Naval Academy to see "The Messiah."  I only vaguely remember the outfit in question, a white fuzzy sweater, white leggings and a white ankle length lace over-skirt.  The Knight still remembers it vividly because he could see my butt through the skirt.  How cute is he?  Apparently, his mother was appalled.  But, that was me.  I didn't care what anybody thought about me.  I would give anything to have the opportunity to go back in time and experience Woodstock.  I know for a fact that I was born in the wrong era.  When I was a teenager everything about the 60's and the hippie way of life appealed to me.  Nothing was more disappointing to me at that time then to learn that neither of my parents had been there.  My father, to his credit, was slogging it out in Vietnam.  An event that to this day he absolutely refuses to talk about.  My mother wasn't at Woodstock either.  I couldn't believe it.  Even in the 60's she thought all those hippies were crazy.  I was crushed.  Now that I'm older I'm not as crunchy as I was in those days.  I went from hardly bathing with huge natty dreads in my hair to a cosmetics junkie that gets manis and pedis on a regular basis.  But, as I sit and watch this documentary about Woodstock I remember all that I was back in those days.  That girl was so free and innocent.  And that was what The Knight loved about me as a girl.  I've lost some of that innocence but I think I've still got some of that carefree hippie in me.  And thank God, he still loves me now.
