Otherwise a nice piece.

Listen to Artie's radio show. His radio guests were at Woodstock and verify all that RoadMannDan is saying. I sent Artie a question, just me....a humble woman who was 13 years old during Woodstock 69, and Artie was gracious and answered my question. He is the real deal. Simple, loving, and living a Quijote life: to make a better world. Robin Clearly people…you have no idea what you are talking about. Listen to Artie’s radio show.

I think that truth is a many-layered perception; we are human beings, subject to our emotions, our varied and colored recollections, wounded by our failures, manufactured by our defensive stances. Woodstock is forever a badge on the sash across my breast, carved on the totem of my life. There is so much anger being expressed here.

It must be that anonymity makes people feel like they can say mean things about people they don't even know. And how can anyone condemn a person because their child overdosed on drugs? Artie is an old family friend whom I first met in the 70's. He was always kind to me and my family. The same was true of his wife Linda. Caroline is lovely too. I also remember very clearly how distraught he was at the loss of his family members. That is a very personal thing that no one should presume to understand if they weren't there. Anyway, I hope he makes BIG money from his connection with Woodstock though, knowing Artie, I doubt that the money is his focus. I can’t believe such vituperative comments are here.

If you hear (read) a person shooting off at the mouth trashing someone or somthing YOU believe in or care about and falsifying the facts in order to do it, do you not step up and speak your mind? If you witness an injustice, do you not try to make it right? For every negative opinion of a person or thing there is a positive one to be had. Am i wrong for being the one to voice (type) the positive? Do not both sides of a story deserve to be heard before judgment is passed? Exactly what would this world be if we did not stand up (less the violence) for what we believe is right? My words are that of an observer, not a servant. A person who can't stand to listen to (or read) people speak out in a negative way on a subject they obviously know nothing about (when i feel i do) just for the sake of doing it. I speak what i see, what i know and what i believe. Always have and always will! Regardless of who appreciates it or gets pissed off by it! It's my nature and i don't apologize for it. It would seem as though it is your nature to speak your beliefs as well. I don't need to be paid for it though and if i were i wouldn't be so sincere about it i assure you. Perhaps Artie blames himself for his daughters death and would agree with you though. Perhaps it was that Artie didn't have his shit together enough to save his daughter from her tragic death. Perhaps HE was the one who gave her the drugs without caring about the potential consequences. None of us will probably ever know the truth though so, why should anyone pretend that they do and bash him as though they had priviledged information that it was the worst case scenario when the facts they do have access to describe a diff. person? If they take the time to learn the facts! I personally can't believe that any parent would knowingly lead thier own child down that path though. Let alone Artie Kornfeld of whom i've known of since i was a child! In a way, i defend Artie as a part of myself. For he has been a part of my life and my memories and, his work and image have been a constant in my life for as long as i can remember in one way or another, be it Woodstock or just through music alone. The more i learn the more i realize this fact. A boot licker? Nothing could be further from the truth! As i see it a parent can never know everything that thier child does when they are not there to protect them and we CANNOT ALWAYS be there to protect our children! Especially, when our kids reach thier teens and begin to start searching for themselves and where they fit in life. Our teen years are ones of exploration, meant to be filled with trial & error. Sometimes those trials and errors lead to tragedy and sometimes they lead to greatness. It would be wonderful if would could choose our children's trials and errors for them but we can't no matter how hard we try. It's never easy to grow up in the shadow of a successful parent. Unfortunatly, the more successful a parent is the harder adolescense is for the child in almost every case. In the absence of fact i choose to believe the most likely scenario and not the one that forces me to assume Artie was the demon himself in the equation. Why do you, my friend? === As for looking forward to the end of the 40th anniversary of Woodstock: Well, as soon as it does end i will be looking forward to the 41st, 42nd and every other anniversary of the event i am priviledged enough to observe. Why would anyone want to forget an event that reminds people that brotherly (and sisterly) love can work and potentially change the world? Well, that's a question i can't answer. It would seem anyone with that desire doesn't understand what it really stands for and teaches us and, has their own personal issues that deny them from being able to see the big picture. I myself believe Woodstock should be excepted as a national if not world holiday. Not to celebrate the drugs and debauchery that some relate it to. But to celebrate the potential for each of us to be able to express ourselves and to be tolerant of each other. Woodstock proved that peace can work. Why would you or anyone want to forget that? Many people around the world get it. The real question is, why can't you get it? I'll end by embelishing a quote from Artie Kornfeld himself, taken from the Woodstock documentary and found worthy of being repeated in the film "Omega Man" by Charlton Heston. Woodstock gives us the ability ...."Just to see, just to realize what's really important. The fact that if we can't all live together in peace, if you can't be happy, if we have to be afraid to walk down the street, if you have to be afraid to smile at somebody, right.... What kind of a way is that to go through this life?" ....it isn't any way to go through life and Woodstock represents that realization and serves as an example. It's not a proverb or a story in some book. It's not empty words from an elder, politician or religeous leader that you have to believe without the proof to back it up. Woodstock was real! something you can really sink your minds teeth into and see for yourself and, it's message is as real and as important today as it ever was and it always will be. To celebrate Woodstock's anniversary is to pass this life lesson down to future generations. It's a positive thing! I ask you again.. why would anyone want to forget that truth and desire it's observance to end? Peace my brother! I defend what i believe in and I idolize NO man!

Does this Kornfeld have you on his payroll. You seem to be defending him the way a good wife defends her husband. You two have something going on? The guy apparently didn't have his shit together enough to stop his kid from dying from drugs. And you idolize this dude? Maybe if he gave his kid the same attention he gave his own demons. I'm sure you'll have something to say about my post too, boot licker. So how far away is the end of the 40th of Woodstock. Can't wait. Hey RoadmanDan. Does this Kornfeld have you on his payroll.

Artie thinks so himself! Michael Lang was the link between the original Woodstock Soundouts and an integral part of the foursome (actually fivesome when you realize Artie's wife Linda was also involved in the thought process) that brought Woodstock to the masses creating an event that will go down in history. You seriously need to check yourself before you call him a "capitalist hippie" in the same post in wich you praise Lang though. I saw Michael Lang on a home shopping channel the other night selling a collection of Woodstock stuff worth about $80 tops for over $800. Show me where Artie Kornfeld is asking anybody for money! Artie Kornfeld does a free radio show every week, is scheduled to appear at West Fest (a free concert) in San Francisco on Oct. 25th for free in celebration of Woodstock's 40th anniversary and, has given his gold records away to charitable causes etc etc etc. I could be wrong but i never heard about Michael Lang doing anything for charity. When asked by an interviewer in the movie "Woodstock Revisited" about asking $6 for bottled water Lang even admits to trying to charge $10!!! That was back at the Woodstock Soundouts before the Woodstock Festival ever happened. Lang is also the one who went behind everyone's back and copyrighted Woodstock to monopolize on it later. Lang is also the one running around sending "Cease & Desist" orders to anyone he can find that tries to celebrate Woodstock out of greed. Lang even sent a cease & desist order to the free event (West Fest) that Artie Kornfeld will be at to celbrate the 40th. (DO YOU EVEN READ THE NEWS ON THE NET??) WTF is that??? These guys are not even charging anyone to get in and feeding people for free and Lang tries to squeeze some cash out of them or shut them down??? GET A DAMN CLUE SARAHV!!! Artie gave you Woodstock 69" - FREE!!! Lang gave you 94' & 99' - overpriced, understaffed poorly put together (let alone the non-peaceful acts that got booked) in 94' and the same in 99' that led to riots because the people just couldn't take it anymore. Artie Kornfeld's "The Pied Piper of Woodstock" is a neccessary book that will give the other side of the story and it would be an abomination to read Lang's book and not Artie's. Artie Kornfeld didn't need Woodstock to make money!!! === Here's a FREE clue for you: Artie Kornfeld is the Legendary Songwriter, Record Producer, Music Label Executive, Manager, and Co-Creator, Producer, and Promoter of Woodstock '69. Artie has worked with: Jan Berry, Jan & Dean, The Angels, The Shirelles, The Changin' Times, Crispian St. Peters, The Cowsills, Johnny Crawford, Freddie Cannon, Cher, Jay & the Americans, Al Hirt, Connie Francis, Gene Pitney, Gary Lewis & the Playboys, The Tokens, The Hullabaloos, Oscar Benton & Artie Kaplan, Jerry Butler & Betty Everett, Bert Sommer, Dusty Springfield, Minnie Ripperton, Tony Orlando, Reparperata & The Delrons, Wayne Newton, Bobby Hebb, Woody Allen, The Bangles, Survivor, and many, many more. On top of that, Artie has signed, promoted, or developed: Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlan, Jack Johnson, Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapman, Melissa Etheridge, Extreme, Edie Brickell, Vanilla Ice, Kix, Sass Jordan, Nuclear Valdez, Queensryche, Depeche Mode, Felony, Billy Joel, John Fogerty, Santana, Steve Perry, Kiss, Neil Young, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Petty, Survivor, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, The Band, Blondie, Davy Jones, The Left Banke, Bert Sommer, Bob Seger, Triumph, The Cowsills, J.Giles Band, Roger Miller, Linda Ronstadt, Alanis Morissette, Lou Rawls, Mandrill, Jimmy Castor, George Segal, Tragically Hip, April Wine, Joe South, Wilson Phillips, Alice Cooper, Paul Cotton, Michelle Shosked, Joe Cocker, ZZ Top, Marshall Tucker, Greg Allman Band, Ratt, Vixon, Steel Heart, Asia, TNT, Quiet Riot, Eddie Money, Patti Griffin. == STILL THINK ARTIE KORNFELD NEEDS TO SQUEEZE MONEY OUT OF WOODSTOCK OR THE HIPPIES???????? Go look through your record collection and listen to some of the music Artie Kornfeld has helped bring into our lives. Then come back here and apologize to the man for your blantant disregard of the facts! Artie is the only guy i know of in the industry putting himself out there for the right reason when all the others are hiding behind the cash they made and keeping to themselves while they spend it or making sure that every philanthropic thing they do gets blasted in your face to boost thier own plastic image. Artie Kornfeld is a ray of light in the darkness that is the music industry!!! His actions and words are sincere. It seems i found somthing to add, Sarah........ Sarah,

I’m sure Lang’s book does rock. Artie thinks so himself!

Artie gave you Woodstock 69″ – FREE!!! Lang gave you 94′ & 99′ – overpriced, understaffed poorly put together (let alone the non-peaceful acts that got booked) in 94′ and the same in 99′ that led to riots because the people just couldn’t take it anymore.

STILL THINK ARTIE KORNFELD NEEDS TO SQUEEZE MONEY OUT OF WOODSTOCK OR THE HIPPIES???????? Go look through your record collection and listen to some of the music Artie Kornfeld has helped bring into our lives. Then come back here and apologize to the man for your blantant disregard of the facts!

Artie is the only guy i know of in the industry putting himself out there for the right reason when all the others are hiding behind the cash they made and keeping to themselves while they spend it or making sure that every philanthropic thing they do gets blasted in your face to boost thier own plastic image.

Artie Kornfeld is a ray of light in the darkness that is the music industry!!! His actions and words are sincere.

It seems i found somthing to add, Sarah……..

And get this, the only thing he could personally remember about Kornfeld was that he had a hand in Vanilla Ice's career and figured mentioning it was the easiest way to make fun of him. How lame is that? Not to mention "Ice Ice Baby" sold uh, eleven million copies! The guy probably still owns a dusty copy of the album somewhere. == Here's a clue: Vanilla Ice's single "Ice Ice Baby" was the first hip hop single to top the Billboard charts, and has been credited with helping to diversify hip hop by introducing it to a mainstream white audience. etc etc.. == Ha ha, yeah, that Artie Kornfeld. Let's all join together and laugh in his face. Are you kidding me or what? I await a list of your accomplishments. Sign the petition to induct Artie Kornfeld into the Rock Hall of Fame and go bash on a Ronnie Spector page please!!!

Not sure of the specifics of the argument though i would try to be more clear about the accusation when speaking about it in a public forum rather than to just say someone feels he ruined thier career. Artie Kornfeld took a gay black women (Tracy Chapman) and made her career happen in a time when the exceptance of our brothers and sisters living alternative lifstyles wasn't exactly being celebrated. The man certainly does not lack skills!

And i agree!!! It was a special time in history that can't be done again. Diff. people diff. time. The 30th was about celebrating what was. Not trying to recreate it. In 99' (30th ann.) things were much diff. music was much diff. Bill Clinton was eliminating the national debt and avoiding war etc.. The man (Artie) did his part and he showed you the way to get it done in 69'. Woodstock ventures did it in 94' & 99" without him and look what happened!! When you get a Bobstock together be sure to let us know. I think Elvis said it best "A little less conversation, a little more action". Did you really just bash a man who hasn't made a dime off of what Time mag called the "greatest peaceful event in the history of mankind" because his duaghter died from an overdose - A man who has had a major part in creating the soundtrack of YOUR/OUR life and given his gold records and a whole lot more to charity??? You should be more than ashamed of yourself!!! Judge the man on what he has done and not what happened to those he loved. I'll keep the rest of my opinion about your comment to myself. I try not to use profane lang. in public forums. Bob, Artie has stated many times that “you can’t redo Woodstock!” And i agree!!! It was a special time in history that can’t be done again.

He was THE person who got the acts at Woodstock to sign the contracts for the movie. No Artie Kornfeld = NO Woodstock & NO Woodstock movie. The only burden Artie could've been to his partners would be when he refused to have any part of Woodstock 94 & 99 wich Woodstock Ventures did out of greed resulting in the dark cloud that hovers over any conversation about Woodstock. You right though Paul, Artie is full of it - Full of Peace, Love, Compassion, Understanding, Vision & Light! I agree with Caroline. Paul>
