Taking Woodstock


Every music lover has heard of a little music festival called, Woodstock. For those of you who haven't it was a concert held in the summer of 1969 that attracted over 450, 000 people and was during the high point of the "peace and love" era. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and The Who were a few of the huge names to participate in this life changing event.

I am writing this to inform readers of a new movie that is set to come out in June 2009; it is called "Taking Woodstock." I only know a few details, but I do know that it is based off of Elliot Tiber's memoir. Tiber, played by Demetri Martin, is a man who offered up his neighbors farm to hold this enormous event during the summer of 69'. This movie will give us a behind-the-scenes look at how Woodstock came together back in those glorious years. Written by James Schamus and directed by Ang Lee, this movie is sure to be perfect for people who love that hippie lifestyle!
