Disgraceland is a production of double Elvis.
The story about Woodstock, the real story, the death, the destruction, the downright disaster movie that the three-day supposed festival of peace, love, and communalism really was, is so complex that we needed two episodes to properly tell it. If you're just getting hip to this now, I suggest you hit pause and go back to the last episode of Disgraceland, part one of the Woodstock story, where we discuss the violent rock and roll festival foundations of Woodstock, the hypocritical hippie extortion that allowed the show to go on, the cunning and confidence of producer Michael Lang, the surge of hundreds of thousands of fans, the near-immediate declaration of disaster by the state of New York, and the ominous signs of
Death and destruction on the horizon. In this episode, we get into the deaths of two concertgoers, Bad Acid Near Chaos, and Near Death on an unimaginable scale. Woodstock's legacy in great music, the Who, Joe Cocker and Jimi Hendrix to name a few, again, great music. Unlike that music I played for you at the top of the show. That wasn't great music. That was a preset loop from my Mellotron called swatch out MK1. I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights to in the year twenty five twenty five by Zager and Evans. And why would I play you that specific slice of Futuro cheese? Could I afford it? Because that was the number one song in America on the morning of August 18, 1969. And that was the day Jimi Hendrix took the stage at Woodstock, turning in an electrifying performance that would seal Woodstock as the culture-defining moment that it was.
On this episode, Brown Acid, Bad Vibes, Death, Destruction, and the disaster movie that was Woodstock. I'm Jake Brennan, and this is Disgraceland.
August fifteenth, nineteen sixty nine. Woodstock Aquarian Exposition. Bethel, New York. Yasku's farm. Peace and love were not going to save them. Smith and Wesson. Were. Maxi Asker, owner of the thriving and pastoral dairy farm Michael Lang and Woodstock Ventures were hosting their three day music festival on. Was hiding in his firm stand's office. He, his son, and one of the workers on his dairy farm were fully armed. Shotguns with enough shells to keep a small army held at bay until hopefully this godforsaken festival mess he'd gotten him and his family into blew over. They were coming to take his land, take his home. Using the chaos of the festival as cover to pillage and God help him rape the land and the life he'd spent thirty three years building since taking over the farm from his father.
They were modern day Vikings set to maraud and kill his family, steal the valuables and cash he had on sight, and make off into the night like the low down bandits they were.
