michael's laid back philosophy of life is firmly entrenched in this book. this does not mean he was lazy or anything like that. he worked himself and everyone around him nearly to death putting on this festival. the laid back philosophy refers to his comments when things were obviously not going the way he planned,eg., several hundred thousand more kids showing up than he expected he just said "it's enough that its happening". this book really gets down to the nuts and bolts of putting on a concert of this magnitude, the problems involved with city,state governments,the logistics were enough to overwhelm anyone. he was just fortunate to have some very dedicated and hardworking people around him that were just as dedicated to putting this thing on as he was.
this book is well laid out,has some wonderful quotes by the promoters,artists and just plain folks who attended this wonderful three days of "peace,love and music". it also has several archival pictures which are very interesting. all in all a very informative and well written and great read!Get more detail about The Road to Woodstock.
