Woodstock II
The documentary film Woodstock, directed by and edited by Thelma Schoonmaker and Martin
Scorsese, was released in 1970. Artie
Kornfeld (one of the promoters of the festival) came to Fred
Weintraub, an executive at Warner Bros.,
and asked for money to film the festival. Previously, Artie had been turned
down everywhere else, but Fred Weintraub became his hero and, against the
express wishes of other Warner Bros. executives, Weintraub put his job on the
line and gave Kornfeld $100,000 to make the film. Woodstock helped to
save Warner Bros at a time when the company was on the verge of going out of
business. The book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls details the
making of the film.
Wadleigh rounded up a crew of about 100 from the New
York film scene. With no money to pay the crew, he agreed to a
double-or-nothing scheme, in which the crew would receive double pay if the
film succeeded and nothing if it bombed. Wadleigh strove to make the film as
much about the hippies as the music, listening to their feelings about
compelling events contemporaneous with the festival (such as the Vietnam War),
as well as the views of the townspeople.
Woodstock received the Academy Award for Documentary Feature. The
film has been deemed culturally significant by the United
States Library of Congress. In 1994, Woodstock:
The Director's Cut was released and expanded to include Janis Joplin as
well as additional performances by Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix,
and Canned Heat not
seen in the original version of the film. In 2009, the film was re-released on
DVD. This release marks the film's first availability on Blu-ray disc.
Another film on Woodstock named Taking
Woodstock was produced in 2009 by Taiwanese American filmmaker Ang Lee. [Wiki]

The Look

| Tepoztlan (Sunday open air market) |
For me there is only the traveling on the paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart.
There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge for me is to traverse its full length.
And there I travel—looking, looking, breathlessly.

Organ Grinder
The organ grinder was a musical novelty street performer of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century, and refers to the operator of a street organ.
Period literature often represents the grinder as a gentleman of ill repute or as an unfortunate representative of the lower classes. Newspaper reporters would sometimes describe them cynically or jocularly as minor extortionists who were paid to keep silent, given the repetitious nature of the music. Later depictions would stress the romantic or picturesque aspects of the activity. Whereas some organ grinders were itinerants or vagabonds, many were recent immigrants who chose to be street performers in order to support their families. Those who actually owned their barrel organs were more likely to take care of them and pursue the "profession" more seriously. A few organ grinders still remain, perhaps most famously Joe Bush in the United States.

Meanwhile in Cielo at NYC, Marques Wyatt as a messenger of the deepest, most soulful kind of house music. Beneath his relaxed, spiritual and unknowingly suave persona, therein lies a man partially
responsible for giving birth to the West Coast house scene and bringing the fresh sounds of New York to Los Angeles beginning in the mid eighties. Carefully pointing out that he has "always had a deep passion for music," you know that his adoration of house has become its gateway into the lives of thousands of people. Promoting and playing an enormous amount of parties including BBC, Brass, MAC's Garage, Does Your Mama Know? and currently Deep, over the years, Marques has changed the face of LA nightclubbing and the presentation of its music and sound.
