...player, lightly between his thumb and two fingers, sometimes losing them during performances, to little negative effect. Still, he could propel a song: on tracks like "Fire" and "Manic Depression" he proved a perfect match for Hendrix's guitar. Even after the band split, the two performed together at Woodstock...
...four brief days, just at it has been every year since 2002. Since its inception, the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival has grown in both size and scope into the summer music festival. I made the voyage to what’s been called this generation’s Woodstock, harboring an empty hope that the experience would be an appropriate comparison to that summer of ’69.

What could the Summer of Love have meant to a 6-year-old in Hawaii, or Woodstock to an 8-year-old in Indonesia? The Pill, Vietnam, race riots, prayer in school and campus unrest - forces like these and the culture clashes they unleashed have dominated American politics for more than 40 years. But Obama approaches these forces historically, anthropologically - and in his characteristic doctor-with...
