Unrestrained Magic
Despite the Beatles being one of that era’s most acclaimed bands, the 1969 lineup didn’t feature the iconic group. As rumored, John Lennon stated that his US visa application had been refused and the late icon missed his chance. Then there were allegations made against Yoko Ono, Lennon’s infamous wife, who apparently halted him from attending due to her Visa being barred! Although the earthshattering draw of the Beatles was missing, Woodstock secured a humongous statewide attendance and a weekend which defined a generation.
Making A Statement
Plenty of people enjoy expressing their individuality and rebelliousness through their hair choices. Looking at this lady, it is clear that Woodstock’s hairier moments were a big draw. This was just a single example of the many hair-raising appearances spotted at the festival. Initially, Woodstock’s founders were under the impression that about 200,000 folks were headed for their grounds. As it turned out, the full attendance numbered at around 500,000 super eager attendees.
