Woodstock

In 1969 as a newbie in television production I always pulled the shifts those of experience did not have to work. Nights, holidays, weekends, etc. However, in that year I watched a man walk on the moon live on 20 monitors and a month later, since I had to work, could not go to most concerts and festivals. Every night it was my job to work the news. I got to see Walter Cronkite cover every story. This is one I had no idea would be such a lingering narrative to my time. I was 19 years old. Today nobody knows how many people went to "Woodstock". Estimates are 450,000. But if you ask over one million claim to have been there.
