Do cows like Janis Joplin? ☀️
FRIDAY | 8.16.24
55 years ago, between the 15th and 18th day of August, 500,000 shoeless humans were likely making their way in tie-dye decorum and bell-bottom jeans to and from a dairy farm in rural upstate New York. Rumor has it that a small group of ambitious twenty-something-year-olds behind the legendary festival had originally intended to raise some funds for a recording studio they wanted to build on the farm and put on a small concert to help. Seems that the definition of small might've gotten lost along the way, and Woodstock prevailed. While we were reflecting back on this legendary "helluva good time" that closed out the Swinging '60s, we started wondering about the cows of that dairy farm and whether or not they too enjoyed the music. Which made us wonder if those cows ever told their cow children about the fact that they experienced four days of tunes from the likes of Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, and Janis Joplin. Some things we'd like to know on a Friday.
Wake up; it’s new music on Friday.
