The concert that changed the world began forty years ago this weekend. Not all of us were able to attend. I was sitting a deep wildcat well in east Texas. That summer of '69 was supposedly the summer of love and the beginning of an ever-peacful (this is the dawning of the age of Aquarius -lyrics from the hippie musical Hair) but it was actually the beginning of a world our parents could never have imagined, a world fraught with drugs, the Vietnam War, Hell's Angels and the Manson family. Oh, and there was also Watergate. Here is a peace montage I created to commemorate this seminal event that marked the beginning of a much changed world.
