Message: [QUOTE="oldanintheway, post: 3144512, member: 7335"] Yup, a few of us. From 60 miles out on L.I. Loaded the trunk up with Lowenbrau, told our parents we were going to visit colleges as we were heading into our senior year of H.S. Had our beer confiscated at the Canadian border. On way back I walked on the field where Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, and Floyd Little ran wild at the old crumbling Syracuse stadium. In Rochester, saw the only XXX rated movie to win the Best Picture Oscar, "Midnight Cowboy". On way back decided we might make it in, Saturday night/Sunday morning now, ditched our car how far away and God knows where, rode in some guy's van, who kept saying, "Oh Wow..." As we made our way to the site, saw the lights flashing in the distance, as it turned out The Who were on, about 5,6 AM. We were there! Saw naked girls swimming! Got down pretty close, only clear musical memory was The Jefferson Airplane and Grace Slick yelling "Good Morning People!" Sunday Morning, all pretty well wasted, beered out, tired, hungry, muddy...rained awhile I think, we decided to leave, I wanted to get to a TV to watch on WPIX-Channel 11 the Super Bowl Champs the Jets play, for the first time ever, the old guard Giants at the Yale Bowl(where we beat Yale in '73). Made it out somehow, I have a quote in the 1989 Woodstock 20th Anniversary Life Mag issue, "Driving 5MPH, on the roof of the car, in my Bermuda Shorts and Love Beads playing The Youngbloods "Get Together" on my portable 45 record player over and over and over and over..." (Doing my best to be cool...)We were pretty rancid, needed a shower and the TV, somehow we got out. Somehow we found a cheap motel somewhere that somehow had a room available, we go up to the office, the guy takes one look at us and shakes his head, we start back to the car..., defeated(?), No! I turned around and in a most pitiful voice whined...,[ATTACH type="full"]42839[/ATTACH] "But we go to Catholic School...!", I swear to God, I must have been so pathetic that the guy let us in. Ahhh, a shower and the Joe Willie Jets crushing the old guard Giants at the Yale Bowl.... Life was good. (Personal note-As a N.Y. Daily News All Star kid, we all were invited to be introduced on the field at Shea before the Jets-Raiders game on Sunday Nov. 30, and as the Jets center, John Schmitt, was a fellow High School alum, I got a personal intro to meet Joe Willie as they were warming up pregame, Joe was Very cool. So maybe my urge to watch the Jets-Giants back on August 17th at Woodstock, led to some Good Karma, after all..., it was 1969....) [/QUOTE]
