Woodstock's 40 th anniversary might be held in old Nazi Germany.
Chief Woodstock promoter Michael Lang is planning two free Woodstock concerts, one at Berlin's now-closed Tempelhof Airport, a former Nazi stronghold.
Lang is hoping for a line-up including some of the Yasgur Farm
originals like Joan Baez, Joe Cocker, The Grateful Dead and The Who.
His cast will likely fit in better in the New York location (as yet
undetermined) on Aug. 15 and 16, than in Berlin on Aug. 22 and 23.
Since
Lang is holding the festival to honor the 40th anniversary of
Woodstock's flower-power message, some fans feel the locale is
inappropriate, at best. One such resister told the Austrian Times, "This airport was one of the Nazis' strongholds. There's not much peace and love to be found there."
