Another fun thing to read: The comments on Chuck Eddy’s post envisioning an alternate Woodstock, in which a bunch of artists on the bill are swapped out for Eddy-preferred alternatives (sample trades: Loretta Lynn for Joan Baez; Jackson 5 for CSN&Y). Tucked among the “ARE U CRAZY” and “WITHOUT THE MAGIC OF ALL THOSE ARTISTS IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WOODSTOCK!!” rantings of Boomers who don’t want to “alter” anything (wait, what about the chemical composition of their brains???) is my favorite line: “If this guy wants to change history, let him work on my first marriage.” Oh, zing.

I’m pretty sure that Woodstock could not afford the Jackson 5. But it is an interesting idea. I’m sure the Jack White produced Joan Baez album is much better than that hippie crap Alternate Loretta Lynn has been playing on PBS.
My God. It seems like a lot of these commenters are under the impression that Eddy is actually going to go back in history and change the line-up.
