Djacobson > Woodstock 1999 > Woodstock Pay Per View
Posted: Jul 23, 2009
I did not go to Woodstock 99 but I watched the pay per view from my home in Califronia. How great it was to have a concert start at 9:00am every morning and be able to watch the end of each each day at or around 10pm. I was amazed that with very few e...

Posted: Jul 20, 2009

Sitting in my office listening to Santana explode on “Soul Sacrifice,” I’m reminded why I love my job. 15 years ago, the 4-CD Woodstock box set was the very first box set I ever bought. I was 14 years old at the time, far too young to have any aspiratio...

I was fighting with someone I was dating at the time and I didn't want to be any where near where they were and they were going to Woodstock 1999. In hindsight, a very bad decision....
