I was there. I took some brown acid and I'll never forget seeing Elvis put on an Afro wig and play The Star Spangled Banner left-handed on an electric banjo. Too bad the cameras weren't rolling.

I had my 10th birthday at Woodstock. My older brother had dragged me along because he had to babysit me..
