Woodstock Page #8

Yeah, there are some toilets around here,

some of those rolling outhouses...

...like they had in Newport.

You ask for somebody that doesn't exist...

...and then they don't accept the charges

and they know you're okay.

You cheat the telephone company.

Oh, yeah. I'm fine, man.

We don't take the car. We walk.

It's the only way to get there.

Why? Because my mother wants

to make sure I'm all right.

I'm going to call my mother

and father because...

...oh, they think this is going to be

like another Chicago.

Like I'm going to get my head beaten in.

They're terrified. So I'm going to call

and tell them...

..."Ha-ha, I fooled you. I'm alive!"

They've got, they've, you don't even

have to bother bringing your tickets...

...or anything, because they're not

going to collect them.

There's no way they can.

They've got a fence

that's half up...

...and there are people

just sitting in that field.

It's really beautiful.

I'll try. It's like I say, really,

you know how crowded it is here.

It, it's just swarming! What?

Out, out on the ground.

It was nice. We got wet.

All I miss is the bathtub.

Okay. Goodbye.

I didn't even finish

dialing and they said...

It's so great in some ways

and so lousy in others.

Look at the people you're meeting.

Everybody is here for one purpose.

It's ridiculous!

It's getting worse every time.

There is no water. No water,

no food and no medical supplies.

Why don't we pray for rain?

They're telling everybody to go home.

They called it a disaster area.

Oh, that's rot!

They called this a disaster?

You should see,

everybody's happy!

Who are you calling?

My mother.

Somebody may have noticed,

or all of you may have noticed...

...a familiar colored

helicopter over there.

The United States Army has

lent us some medical teams...

...and giving us a hand.

They're with us, man.

They are not against us.

They're here to give us all

a hand and help us.

And for that they deserve it.

There are forty-five doctors

or more.

I know at least forty-five...

...who are here without pay

because they dig what this is into.

Look, it's acid and sh*t like that.

One kid died, a heroin overdose.

Yeah, another guy died.

Run over, I believe.

The army is really doing

a great job, you know.

All those guys calling them pigs

and sh*t like that, it's not right.

They've done a good job.

Dr. Jack Maitland, please,

with full suturing equipment...

...your presence is requested.

You've got a delivery to make!

Marilyn Cohen. Wherever

you are, Marilyn Cohen...

...Greg wants you to meet him

at the information booth...

...because he wants to marry you!

There goes Marilyn!

About how long does it take to...?

Well, before it was

backed up, eight hours.

And they've been working at it

and there are still some cats...

...that think they can come here

for Sunday.

And they're stopping them in Monticello

and all that, you know...

...so it's really getting to be a mess.

So, you know what I would do?

I would wait, because this way...

There's no gas in the gas stations.

Because this is the third

largest city in the world.

So I would wait, you know?

Until when?

Until this traffic starts clearing up.

You know, like Monday morning.

I've got to be in North

Carolina Monday morning.

Oh, wow! Do you? Why? A job?

Well, like what? This has been declared

a disaster area.

Because I called

long distance to Buffalo...

...and asked some cats there

and they said...

...it definitely has been declared

a disaster area.

Is there any way to get out?

They're trying to evacuate it today.

So maybe late tonight, you know.

You know, like one.

How are they going to evacuate?

We're not sure. I think they're trying

to get all the cats in the cars...

...and just direct the cars to get out.

I mean, you can try it.

I mean, like it's all up to you, man.

But if your car gets, you know...

Yeah, if you run out of gas somewhere,

there's no gas in the stations.

You're screwed.

Yeah, I mean, like you'd be even more

stuck on the highway...

...than you are here, because...

...at least here there

are a lot of other cats.

I have to get out of here because

there are just too many people!

And I can't leave because

my friends will be lost.

And I can't, I can't stay here

any more. It's too crowded!

We are only taking drastic emergencies.

Nobody worries. Nobody up here

has any money.

You could live and eat here a week

without money, so don't worry about it.

I know, but I've got to

go back to California.

You can get a ride to California, too.

You know, everybody here, it's the

same thing with them, you know.

You just have to dig it and live with it.

About thirty hours, at least.

Thirty hours straight? No naps?

Are you on speed?

No, I'm not on anything.

Blind faith?

Blind Faith is a groovy group.

You wouldn't believe some of

the kids that come in here.

They're really spaced out. Last night,

this cat, this cat comes in and says...

..."If anger is red and envy is

green, what color is jealousy?"

And I mean he's really spaced out!

And you just don't go f***ing people's

heads up when they're spaced out!

So I said, uh, "Black, right?

Because jealousy is poison."

He says, "Yeah, but it's got to be

something else than that."

And I said, "Green, because after all,

jealousy is like envy."

"Except that envy is over things

and jealousy is over people."

"A lot of people treat other people as,

you know, things."

And he says, "Wow! Groovy!"

And he walks off

and I never saw that cat!

Another cat comes up and he asks me

to tell him about his wild eyes!

Did he have wild eyes?

He was speeding. Really groovy.

And all the people that come up here

asking, you know...

...if we can page

their freaked out friends.

I mean, like right now

I'm missing my sister.

I lost her. She was on, uh, on mesc.

And I lost her during

Richie Haven's performance.

I've got her tickets home.

I haven't seen her since.

She's all right.

Sure she is.

It's just that I'd like to see her

so I can get home in time.

She's got to be back Monday for Court.

Otherwise, you know, I wouldn't care.

Otherwise, I'd probably

let her hitch home.

City McGee...

...please come immediately

to backstage right.

I understand your wife is having a baby.

Congratulations!

John Sebastian!

This is really a mind

f***er of all times, man!

I've never seen anything like this, man!

It's Newport, right? But they owned it.

It was something else!

Just love everybody around you,

and clean up a little garbage...

...on your way out and everything

is going to be all right.

And Chip. My man, Chip.

Aw, you're doing so well, man.

He says to look out for the fence, too,

man. You have to look after the fence.

Like the, the press can only, can only say

bad things unless there ain't no f***-ups.

And it's looking like there

ain't going to be any f***-ups.

This is going to work!

I'd like to hear a tune about...

...I guess about those discussions
