In reply to the discussion: When Jimi played the National Anthem... [View all]immoderate

I wrote for an underground newspaper at the time. But the publisher told me he had Woodstock covered. When I got back home I had a bunch of messages to call him. "Did you make it to Woodstock?" he asked. The stringer he had assigned never made it.
I wrote an article, and it was published, and I got paid (by the column-inch.) But he re-ran that article for years on the anniversary of Woodstock.
I think I have a hard copy in a scrapbook somewhere. I wrote about everything, without admitting to anything. The only thing I left out was my introduction to the penicillin-resistant strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, that I got from one of David Peel's groupies. I couldn't talk about it.
