Boomer One: Man, it was something. Were you there?
Boomer Two: No, I but could have been.
Boomer One: Well, where was this massive get together?
Boomer Two: What get together?
Boomer One: Are you high?
Boomer Two: High—like no, but just about everyone at Woodstock was partying ya know.
Boomer One: Bout ½ million folks jammed into a hay field way out in the country man.
Boomer Two: Really.
Boomer One: Yeah really.
Boomer Two: I’m confused man.
Boomer One: How come?
Boomer Two: Woodstock wasn’t in Woodstock
Boomer One: No sh-t!
Boomer Two: Where was it?
Boomer One: All this time, you never bothered to find out?
Boomer Two: I was busy making lots of money.
Boomer One: Were you a hippie?
Boomer Two: I never wore underwear back then, so yeah-I was a flower child-sort of.
Boomer One: Anyway-you asked about Woodstock.
Boomer Two: Yeah.
Boomer One: Woodstock NY was where the party was supposed to happen but didn’t.
Boomer Two: Knew it was something like that—so where did it really happen?
Boomer One: Place called Yasgur’s farm in Bethel, NY.
Boomer Two: Bethel, NY? Doesn’t sound like Woodstock to me.
Boomer One: You must still be smoking that wacky stuff.
Boomer Two: Naw, had to settle down and wear a suit.
Boomer One: Bethel NY became Woodstock even though it’s 75 miles away on the other side of the Hudson.
Boomer Two: Hudson?
Boomer One: Hudson River man.
Boomer Two: Oh.
Boomer One: East side of the Hudson -- that’s where the Town of Woodstock is. West side of the Hudson—you know—the Jersey side is where Bethel, NY is and where the Rock n Roll blast went down.
Boomer Two: Wow—I needed that!
