Had severe tinnitus for a long time after Ten Years After did their set. May actually have been totally deaf for a bit after Alvin Lee cranked out 'I'm Going Home'. It's been over 45 years and it seems like yesterday.
    Wow. Being onstage for Woodstock must have been a hard act to follow for subsequent live music performances in your life. Except for Justin Bieber.

      Edit: Google rules. Yes, he is.
      Knowing you, I'm actually surprised you didn't know that. Even I knew that.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        It was long time ago so I was a bit young to understand that this was a once in my lifetime kind of thing. The striking thing to me, even then, was how friendly all the singers were. They did not mind sitting and talking with you and I got the feeling most of them(but not all) were as overwhelmed by the entire thing as I was.

                              I hated Stuart Scott's schtick and I've blamed him as one of those responsible for ESPNs bad treatment of hockey. That being said, he certainly had strong fingerprint on ESPN of the 90s and 2000s and was good at his job in the moments that called for it. This is not to say he wasn't good at his job... but again... I didn't like the schtick. When he had to be more sober in tone he was able.

                                I loved his delivery, it really helped make SportsCenter not just more casual and laid back, but it also made highlights more fun. It showed how far you could go from bland stoicism and still be taken seriously.

                                At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."
