I love much of the music of the 1960's, and I think I may have enjoyed Woodstock. Not sure though as I lean a bit more towards psychedelic or pop music from that time, and less towards what I call stoner rock.Moot point in any case as my Mom wouldn't let me go. Something about only being 4.
One singer I've never been a huge fan of is Joe Cocker. I don't hate him, just not my cup 'o tea.
However I've always hated his version of With a Little Help From My Friends. He trashed a perfectly good Beatles song.
I did, however, presume that he knew the words. Turns out he was singing (literally) his own song.
For your 1969 enjoyment:
Here are the actual lyrics:
What would think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
He gets high with a little help from his friends,
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
What do I do when my love is away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I'm gonna to try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.
Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody?
I need someone to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love
Oh...
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
with a little help from my friends
