| #6 Watched a YouTube interview with Grace Slick recently. She did not have good things to say about the original Woodstock. Some guys might have gotten lucky and scored some numb skulled hippie chicks. But when you look at those old pictures of people camping in the mud, listening to lame wad Richie Havens and bumming out on bad acid, it doesn't really look like a whole lot of fun. |

| #3 There's a lesson in this. Liberals have wrecked everything so much we couldn't build a new Hoover Dam today and they can't even re-enact one of their most beloved spectacles. |

| #2 the 25th anniversary was a disaster, why try it again anyway? |

| #1 ...After the second cancellation, you have to wonder exactly what these guys were thinking. I still say the reason they kept beating that poor deceased equine was that the concert was actually a fiendishly clever money laundering scheme, and if it didn't come off somebody was going to end up in a fifty gallon drum in the Jersey Barrens.
