Today is the 38th anniversary of the first day of Woodstock. It seems amazing to me that nearly 4 decades have passed since this event began. I recall well watching the event on television.
What a kinder, gentler time that was—despite the general notion that Woodstock revelers were a drastic departure from the norm. By today's standards, they seem positively childlike. How unfortunate it is that society has come to this.
How time flies, as it is said. How critical it is that we use our brief time on Earth wisely.
