I was hitching a ride anywhere when this VW Microbus stops, and a very cool dude asks..
Where you headed, man?
Anywhere you go, I will go.
We are heading to a rock festival.
Wonderful. Never been to one. I am from South Africa, where everything was banned.
Hardly settled in my seat when someone passed me my first joint. Amazing experience, amazing people. And then the Woodstock experience, much of it a blur.
But one should understand the impact on a very naive 17 year old, from a very repressed South Africa at the time. One of my greatest educational experiences. No formal education could have expanded my mind and opened my eyes like so.
