A return to a day in the garden
|
I sought higher ground and settled down next to the totem of Jerry, Jimi, and Janis. Above spread the tented Rock and Roll strip mall, everything from art, tee-shirts and crystals, to computerized stereo sound systems and cell phones. Buy a piece of flower power, but don't sell your soul. The Woodstock Nation had come of age, an attempt to balance its ideology with science and technology, and blend it with the reality of commercialism. |
Below the music played on as the crowd danced and swayed. Melanie, Donavon, Richie, Lou, Joni, and Pete, sang of peace and love, human rights and wrongs, life in the gritty city, spirituality and ecology. Once again, Sisyphus struggles to push a boulder up hill, knowing it will roll back down to the valley below. He smiles with hope that from the seeds of art and music, something good will grow. |
