Tommy’s Coffee Break Calendar for August 15th

Woodstock is 47 years old today!

8/15/1969 (49 years ago today) - It's the first of three days and nights of peace and music: Over 400,000 music fans gather at Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York, an event now viewed as a pivotal moment in popular music history -- "the definitive nexus for the counterculture generation" -- where the blend of styles that were performed had never happened anywhere else before: rock and roll, funk, folk, jazz fusion, blues, psychedelic and Latin...

32 acts played over the course of a somewhat rainy weekend, and the line-up is as classic as classic can be: Jimi Hendrix - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - The Who - Santana - The Band - Ten Years After - Grateful Dead - Joe Cocker - Arlo Guthrie - Jefferson Airplane - Johnny Winter - Melanie - Canned Heat - Mountain - Creedence Clearwater Revival - Sha Na Na - Blood, Sweat & Tears - Sly & the Family Stone, and more...

Happy Anniversary Woodstock! Now, here's what it means to "step up":
