Nahh I know where Woodstock is, been to the Harley dealer there and drove through there going to meet you one time.
In fact, Woodstock refused to let the promoters have the 3 day event there so when they got the OK from Max Yasger, they called the show "Woodstock" to taunt the town that shunned the show.
We all know it was actually in White Lake.
Which I believe is very close to Bethel Woods.
I just figured you meant Bethel because the last time I saw a Helm show advertised, thats where it was.
They are supreme gougers there.

Beatles,Stones,Kinks etc..game changers, whichever way you look at it.

Many bands or singers have changed the music world, but that's not a reason to have to like their music. The Beatles came in a bit before I was into music, I never really liked them either. I like the later hard rock.

Do you think the beatles would have been as "big" if they weren't cute little mop-tops? They are a product of BRILLIANT promotion (akin to Harley Davidson's ability to sell the "lifestyle" of being a badass).

Let me put it this way....If 4 fat, ugly, zit faced guys would have written the songs and sang/played them exactly the same as the "fab four"....there would be no beatles. At most, they would have been a footnote in the rock and roll annals.

Of course they have a few good pop songs, but the majority of it sounds like it could have been written by a 2nd grader (not counting the drug-years). Put anything in heavy-rotation and its bound to get burned into your brain.


I'm not a huge Stones' fan, but I have respect for them. They are a blues band and have proven that they love to play.

The Kinks just plain freaking ROCK.

I've been around music my entire life. I enjoy everything. Just depends on my mood. Opera, Country, Pop, Hard Metal, whatever... I've been in a few bands and the majority of the time, I am the odd man out when the topic of conversation turns to how "paramount" the beatles were to music... I have yet to here an honest reply to my question of
"what if they would have been fat and ugly"?


Beatles.. a good (not even great) pop band, and nothing more.

Your apparently to young to appreciate the beatles.. And the kinks suck!! I preferred dick dale or the ventures at the time..But learned to love the beatles.. and as far as appearance I guess ya never took a good look at buddy holly.

MC 5, Velvet Underground and the Stooges for me (know they came after the beatles)

Hey John G. Gimme "Dave death to the crown Davies" anytime baby.
If you ever heard the "Celluloid Heros" album you would love it.
Stones... eh so so. To call them a blues band is like saying this urban crap that kids like now is R&B.
R&B???? WTF is a reason to compare that head bangin crap to great R&B folks of the past.
Ray Charles, now dats rythm and blues. So Hit the road Jack.
And as far as da blues go, give me Mississippi Fred McDowel, Muddy Waters, Reverend Gary and a little Howlin Wolf.
Yes Cody, you are a bit young to have been infected by Beatlemania as a lot of us old timers were. And I never thought any of the four was cute. Especially John and Ringo. What ugly mothers they were.
AND... speakin of Mothers, now there was some fine stuff. Frank Zappa.
Most people relate to the name as a rebelious hippy using foul language.
They never knew what an outstanding guitar player he was.

Dats JMHO


To each his own.

For most of us, there is one group that strikes a chord when growing up.

For me it was Pink Floyd and David Gilmours amazing guitar playing.

I was never a Beatles fan, but that was me....always a bit against any kind of hysteria. I felt it insulting to love anything just because everyone else did. The Bee Gees created quite a stir and all but one them had been beaten regularly with the ugly stick. I'm enjoying a Minnesota band lately!
