Another anniversary story. This time, about the Woodstock music festival 52 years ago. The above picture of Bobbi Kelly and Nick Ercoline was taken by photographer Burk Uzzle on 18 August 1969 as Grace Slick sang with Jefferson Airplane while the sun was rising. No idea how much the organisers paid Uzzle to use this iconic picture which was eventually featured on the Woodstock record cover and other promotional material over the decades. Might be tuppence. However, it sure became one of the most famous pictures of the 20th Century.
