exactly fred, additionally i feel that the dirge like new version is in a sense a funeral for all those hopeful ideals so many of us had back then...not that there still isn't room for hope but in the wake of woodstock there was a tremendous surge of inspired hope that 'we' could change the world & now all these years later, at this particular point in time, it sure doesn't look as hopeful...
>>But isn't that exactly the point being made in the new version? The fragile celebration of our youth that was embodied by Woodstock *has* been replaced by the weary melancholy of life in these days of "high late capitalism" as James Taylor calls them. Seems to me like she nails it.- -Fred<< ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
