Joan Baez looks back at Woodstock: 'It was the eye of the hurricane' JimmyDean 50thAnniversary
How did you get to the festival since the roads were so jammed up?
I was watching the movie recently. It looks so great, but also so incredibly uncomfortable with all the mud and so many people crammed together.I felt stressed out just watching it. Maybe I’m a prude.How important do you think the movie was in spreading the legend and myth of Woodstock? I probably didn’t eat! I probably only ate packaged foods since I was so spooked about drugs. I’m sure I was just really careful.I don’t remember exactly what I said, but I usually talked about him being in prison for draft resistance. It’s pretty blunt what I had to say.
It’s interesting to think of Woodstock as the eye of the hurricane since there was so much chaos swirling around. Nixon was sworn in earlier that year. Vietnam was raging. But you watch that movie, and there’s no sense of that chaos anywhere.I think so. I think it takes a moment and then you get that feeling. It was like the March on Washington. All of a sudden you realize there are 350,000 people out there and something is never going to be the same after that. That is true of Woodstock.
