Woodstock 50 cancelled as world leaves Hippidom behind

Less than a month from when it was supposed to kick off, Woodstock 50 is officially cancelled once and for all. Michael Lang, a co-founder of the original three-day concert in 1969, pulled the plug after attempting to move the event to Maryland. In recent months, he and his fellow organizers had attempted to stage the concert in Watkins Glen, New York and Vernon, New York. Lang said in a statement that he is now supporting the efforts of the 50th-anniversary tribute to Woodstock that’s set to take place in Bethel, New York, near the original 1969 festival’s site.
