I don't care what you do, I just don't want to be a mud hippie like you. [From 1994 woodstock]
This isn't the Democratic party of our fathers and grandfathers. This is the party of Woodstock hippies. I was at Woodstock--I built the stage. And when everything fell apart, and people were fighting for peanut butter sandwiches, it was the National Guard who came in and saved the same people who were protesting them. So when Hillary Clinton a few years ago wanted to build a Woodstock memorial, I said it should be a statue of a National Guardsman feeding a crying hippie.
I'm higher than a hippie at Woodstock.
I was at Woodstock. In the mud.
I'd have to say that the 1994 Woodstock completely destroyed anything that came after it.
Even Woodstock turned out to be a disaster. Everybody was stuck in the mud and people got sick.
In the late 60's to the early 70's, I was caught between the hippie and the skinhead movement. I had my hair cut so I didn't look like a straight at a hippie event, and I didn't look like a hippie at a skinhead event. It was a good haircut.
You might see someone with dreadlocks and label them a hippie in your head, but that doesn't mean they think of themselves that way. A lot of people look at me and see I have a beard and shaggy hair, and think I'm a hippie. I'm not a hippie, and I'm not not a hippie. I don't know what the f**k I am.
I'm from the '60s, but no one has ever accused me of being a hippie. I never had much interest in the Woodstock crowd, which partied to change the world, while real people were starving to death in Africa.
Live Aid was a baby Woodstock, a child of Woodstock, which I call Globalstock.
I actually prefer teammates that have emotions. It means you care, compared to a guy that's kind of just nonchalant and goes about it like it doesn't matter. So I want guys that care. I want guys that show they care.
Love is born in sexuality but sexuality is not love. The lotus is born in the mud, but the lotus is not just mud. And if mud remains mud of course there are bound to be tears on the cheeks.
People didn't relate to me as being Chinese or white, just being a hippie, a long-haired hippie.
I grew up with the Woodstock generation. I went to Woodstock, and like everybody in my school, I wanted to be in a rock-and-roll band, and most of us were. But I also grew up with a lot of piano lessons and a lot of classical music training.
Woodstock is the only thing we have going for us in this part of the state in terms of national recognition. The idea is to extract what was good about Woodstock, repackage it, and present it to Middle America.
I take everything someone says and the way they say it to heart. I just notice everything. I'm very, like, I know what I want. I know what I want to do and what I don't want to do. It may seem like I'm care-free but I'm care-expensive.
I always say that even though my dad was alive during Woodstock, he was just not invited. He just seemed like he was from a different generation.
