There is a certain myth that resides with Woodstock that it was this beautiful, mystical gathering. Woodstock will always live on as one of the pivotal moments of music and cultural history; however, the humanity of the event sometimes gets overlooked.
Hear my interview with Broome Spiro and Brian Kovelman, as Broome goes into some of the struggles that people had to face during Woodstock. Listen to how at fifteen years old, he had to cut hay and grass out from under people's cars to free the drive shafts, along with dealing with the festival and travel back home without food or money.
Broome recounts how the older generation opened up their hearts, homes, and services to help those attending Woodstock. He tells us about the kindness and generosity of the residents and authorities, and how it was through much of their guidance and assistance Woodstock managed to be an uplifting experience for all who attended.
