Due to money problems, the 40th Anniversary Woodstock concert has been canceled.
Woodstock promoter Michael Lang has dropped plans for a 40th anniversary concert. Asked why he abandoned the pursuit for a third anniversary concert celebrating the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, Lang simply told Rolling Stone, “Money. No sponsors.”
Lang, one of the four partners to stage Woodstock in 1969, had wanted to hold a free concert in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park to coincide with the anniversary in mid-August. Those plans were postponed after he failed to find sponsors to cover the $8-$10 million cost. He then turned his attention to the end of September and had hoped to hold the concert in conjunction with Climate Week, which is set for September 20-26th and is part of the international Seal the Deal! Campaign. This effort, according to a United Nations Website, is pushing governments scheduled to meet at COP 15, in Copenhagen this December, to agree on a sustainable climate change pact and promote an international green economy. Lang had wanted to make any Woodstock anniversary concert as green as possible.
What’s better than a Harley Davidson? How about one that seats 10 people like Steve “Doc” Hopkins’ custom ride he’s planning on riding from Wisconsin to South Dakota for the annual Sturgis Motorcyle Rally.
Only in America could the answer to your inability to land a job lead to a lawsuit.
Trina Thompson, 29 years old, graduated this past April from Monroe College in the Bronx with a degree in Information Technology. In the four short months following graduation day, she has been unable to find a job and has decided her best course of action would be suing Monroe College for $65,000 to cover her tuition costs. That’s 70-Grand in Canadian dollars for you following along in the Great North.
Too bad she didn’t get her degree in nagging and complaining. But at least she can pursue a Masters in the complete abuse of the American legal system.

Hercules is a gentle soul. He thinks for several seconds before responding to anything and spends his days learning tricks….not really, he doesn’t do Jack!
