Hey Juniper. I was thinking how funny it would be if your daughter was on Wheel of fortune and it said this....


WOOD_ _ _ _ _ FESTIVAL

OK Pat, I'll take an R please.

She wouldn't have a CLUE!!

And she would NEVER live it down

I didn't even bother explaining it to her when she didn't know what it was. I just looked at her in disbelief.

I was in the Army so I couldn't go, I went to another giant festival when I was on leave called Goose lake. It was one year after Woodstock. They say 200 thousand attended but I have read and I believe it was a lot more than that








It’s been ignored over the past decades that Michigan had it’s own version of the original Woodstock Music Festival in 1970..

Just one year after Woodstock, Goose Lake  – just east of Jackson – held court from August 7-9 1970 to the likes of Bob Seger, Jethro Tull, Rod Stewart, Ten Years After, Chicago, The Stooges, Joe Walsh, Mitch Ryder and many more.
Even though it was basically a peaceful event, it was seen to by public & state ‘officials’ that there would never be another music festival in Michigan. Ever.

Along with Governor William Milliken, Michigan attorney general Frank J. Kelley was one of those instrumental in banning Michigan rock festivals, saying: “I think we have seen the first and last rock concert of that size in Michigan.”
Oh, yeah? Well I was there. It was wonderful.
Even though in the past 20-25 years, there have been seedy incidents occurring at various giant rock concerts around the country, Goose Lake - AND Woodstock - proved that it can be done WITHOUT violence or idiots. Wouldn't it be nice if we could have a decent, large rock festival without a handful of morons ruining it for future shows?
