...years of accumulated debt from broken instruments, leveled hotel rooms and erratic U.S. touring. It also brought the members of The Who a flash of stateside fame they had not previously known. Before Tommy they had been notorious; now they were celebrities. Also in 1969, The Who appeared at Woodstock. "It was all very lovely," Entwistle remembers. "People shacking up in tents sunk three feet in the mud, no toilets, peace and love. Backstage I had a couple of cups of fruit juice and found out someone had put acid in it. I wanted to kill him."

...midst of all these pyrotechnics, it was easy enough to lose sight of the fact that The Who stood in defiance of the Woodstock generation.

In "Food: Preparation, Production, Preservation," Ruth Anthony of Kansas City, Kans., talks about subsisting on wild plants (eat only the tender inner leaves of dandelions, the leafy tips...
When Hair the play opened in Los Angeles about 11 years ago, the Aquarius theatre's exterior wall faced the parking lot muraled in a spiralling Beardsley-style medley of psychedelic colors and stereotyped figures on their way to Woodstock. That was when we were in the midst of Vietnam, Chicago 7, Timothy Leary and Hare Krishna. The play poked fun at everyone, including its own heroes to some degree, but some earnest zeal and anger permeated, betraying a sympathy with the movement.
