Another Poetic Mission Impossible Challenge from Chana

Joni Mitchell's song Woodstock.. I mean she said it all!
Her song and links are at the bottom of the page.

For Dave and Chana



a wider shot of same photo

All Dave Flynn the Golden Child of God... first and second image is Dave on one of the sound towers at Woodstock with all his friends who came with him. He is in the bottom right hand corner wearing no shirt and a dark hat.

Third image is Dave a few days after Woodstock and he said he was burned out...Third image is 8 years later in 1977 out west in Eugene Oregon. Yes, the middle image is one of the sound towers.. Dave is always moving at the heart of things.. he is just that kind of man!

I got a close up version of this image and dave flynn is at the bottom right corner no shirt with the brown hat on! and he is cute!

I really wrote this for Dave Flynn who is an incredibly inspiring man and musician who really lived this experience and he so inspired me with his memories that I wrote this to commemorate this event of Woodstock and the man who for me is the Golden Child. Hey Dave, you are beautiful man! Really far out. Thanks for the wonderful memories and the great music!




I know a golden child of God
of the stardust tribe
who went to woodstock seeking answers
and became a part of the butterfly nation
to stand for life and a whole generation
while the world turned and burned
in a senseless conflagration

for a moment enduring in the universal
mind
like many he sought signs hoping to find
through music, love, freedom
the center of the great wheel
moving beyond time
and
getting back to the garden
back to the land
he did join in a rock and roll band
and set his soul free.

Joni Mitchell's Song (links to two versions of the song at end)

Woodstock


Woodstock
by Joni Mitchell
I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him where are you going
And this he told me
I'm going on down to Yasgur's Farm
I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm going to camp out on the land
I'm going to try an' get my soul free

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am
But you know life is for learning

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation

We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden
