Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the Altamont concert murder
For every Woodstock there is an Altamont. It was inevitable.

5. Actually, I did stage Altamont '94 with music provided by The Rolling Stones...
they were playing at the coliseum right down the street and you could hear them clear as day (well, night actually)
However, for some reason, their security go really freaked when they saw the fliers we had posted the day before. I wonder why...

6. About the only movie that I remember seeing in a real theatre was Gimme Shelter.
Hard to believe that it's been 40 years. I must be getting up there in years.
