Productor
Michael
Lang,
junto a otros, organizó Woodstock. Solo
vemos algunos datos del productor (en
inglés) y traducimos una entrevista
en la que señala las características de los 60, la contracultura, los
asesinatos que conmueven a EEU, la guerra de Vietnam, y las bandas que aparecen
en el festival. En el vocabulario aparece Head shop, que sería una especie de tabaquería más
venta de marihuana. Interesante…
