You could be on acid at Woodstock in August 1969, protege to the CEO of a major company in January 1970, and a CEO yourself by 1978.

In fact he organized a rock concert (the Us Festival) to try and recapture Woodstock in the 80s and I think did some elementary school teaching for a while.

I also love that the person who manages the annual shareholder meetings, "Woodstock for Capitalists", is a 30 year old that was hired 6 years ago.

Remember how the open source software movement was supposed to be like Woodstock, with everybody sharing and everything free?

When the letter arrives at Woodstock, Carol has to go through the painstaking trouble of scanning in his chicken scratch, and she'll spend the weekend fixing that which OCR cannot unearth.
