FROM BETHEL WOODS CENTER FOR THE ARTS:
We
are greatly saddened at the news of the passing of Michael Lang, one of
the original organizers of Woodstock. Michael’s role as a visionary
behind the festival has left an indelible mark on history. In an
interview given to the Museum in 2006, Michael said: “What’s important
about [Woodstock] is, I think, that it proves that it’s possible. It
proves that there is another way for the world to function and for
people to relate to each other; it’s proof. And that’s something to
aspire to.”
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-PEACE \m/
