This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, and we're celebrating with Hendrix's rendering of the national anthem. We keep the LNMC apolitical, but I want to at least squeak a shout-out to this as clear evidence that symbols of patriotism are safe, and often things of beauty in the hands of the counterculture.

Zina Saunders has a great personal account of her experience at Woodstock complete with drawings, and I urge you to check it out.
