The Pied Piper of Woodstock

Forty years ago, amidst the decadence and destruction of a nation at war, civil unrest, and political dissention, the most sensational and romanticized event known to mankind was orchestrated by Artie Kornfeld and his partners in Woodstock Ventures. This is the life of a New York archetypal bad boy -- a believer who saw music as the universal solvent for global rapport and acceptance and used his ability to unite the masses. From the streets of New York City, to hit songwriter, to collaborations with legendary musicians, this is the life of an extraordinary man. All these years later, Artie still sees the Spirit of Woodstock as critical for universal peace -- just as he did as a twenty-five-year-old icon in the world of rock royalty. This is a nonfictional diary of an American rock 'n' roller, a proponent of '60s euphoria and the causes that ignited the youth movement. An odyssey, a time machine, and a must-read for the millions of Baby Boomers and younger generations.
