  1. I was on a farm all right. But not Woodstock, singing in the rain. Instead, I was hauling bales on a very hot sticky day!

  4. I was 9 and I was at a war protest with my brother!! (Not a good thing to do on an AFB) - A lot of good it did, he got drafted anyway.

  5. I was 11,prolly watching Hogan's Heroes or something. I was brought up in fundamentalist baptist household :( so probably only heard a mention about those bloody hippies or something. I wish I could have known more about it back then.

  7. I was 7 months old, so, um, probably at home worrying my mom :) Once I was a bit older, I did like a lot of the music from that era.

  8. Getting ready for 9th grade. I heard about it from kids at school.

    LOL Buttercup, same for me. Extremist Baptist. We couldn't listen to that evil rock and roll stuff, nor could we take dance classes in school, go to movies, or hold hands with girls, and no mixed swimming with the opposite sex. Burn baby burn if you did!!! Arrggghhh!!!! But dad didn't know that I secretly listened to that evil music with my super 7-transistor radio with a single earphone at night in bed. I was such a rebellious sinner.

  10. I was in high school (15 yrs.old). The parents wouldn't allow us to go to such concerts yet. For yrs. to come tho,I was still painting hearts & flowers on my cheeks & braiding my long hair. I still have my Woodstock Album!

    The only Woodstock I knew of is the bird from the Peanuts cartoon. :D

  16. I wasn't even a twinkle in my dad's eye yet...He was just a year shy of having to worry about the Draft.

  17. I had one of those transistor radios with the earphone, too. My mom got it with S&H Green stamps (anybody remember those?). It was on that radio that I learned all the words to Miss American Pie, because I'd listen to it under my pillow every night.

  18. PJ--you're not the only one who feels old--and I'm sure I'm a good bit older than you---but in 1969, I had been married for 3 years already!! Went thru the 50's and 60's with my parents fussing about that darn rock and roll--I still love it to this day--althoug lean to older rock and roll.

  19. And I also had a Turquoise Blue transister radio--and I definately remember S&H stamps--my Mom used them for a lot of things, and also Green Stamps--usually got them at the grocery stores.

  21. I was 5 and probably playing with my little animals and their house I made out of a shoe box. (youngest of 5 here)
    I had a little white transister radio with earpieces. One of the earpieces was disc shaped so I could put it on my pillow and listen to the radio.

  22. Oh yes,the transistor radio and the evil godless music,I can definitely relate KD. They actually had a record(Album) breaking sermons where they were breaking all of my favorite records like the Rolling Stones...ack! I was in the audience shuddering every time they broke a record thinking I was going straight to hell. OMG,not to mention the Doors....

  28. LOL @ WWM, I feel old too...there are some babies here on TDK. I was 13 at the time of Woodstock, a "wannabe hippie" that summer making the change from Catholic school to public high school. I bought the Woodstock album though, it was as close as I would get....

  30. I'd already been married 2 years, had a baby, and lived up in the hills of Idaho where my engineer husband was helping construct a giant dam on the Snake River.
