Strumming with Dylan

The Beatles at Woodstock

We all know that the Beatles did not perform at the Woodstock Festival in 1969.   The Beatles were not performing anywhere in August of 1969.   However, the spirit of The Beatles was without a doubt there.      Joe Cocker did his unforgettable performance of "With a Little Help from my Friends."  Richie Havens sang numerous Beatles songs, and CSN did their version of "Blackbird."    Other Beatles songs may have also been performed. 

If you look in the background of this photo from Woodstock, you will see that a Beatles banner is for sale among the sea of tie-dye.   Woodstock was held August 15-18, 1969.

Woodstock '68

A friend of this blog's facebook page shared this photo last week, and it was a new one to me.   George with David Boyle at Albert Grossman's house when George went to visit Bob Dylan at Woodstock in November of 1968.  

2nd generation fans

I found this online this week at postsecret. Wow...someone sure has me pegged! I have been saying for the past 20 odd years that I should have been born in the 1950's and had been a teenager in the 1960's. I am sure I am not the only 2nd generation Beatles fan that feel this way. I know this totally isn't Beatles related but it hit home with me and I figured it would with many of you as well.
