Woodstock is a popular song written by Joni Mitchell for her 1970 album *Ladies of the Canyon*. The song later notably covered by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and became a counterculture anthem. Lyrics tell a story about a spiritual journey to the Max Yasgurs farm, the place of festival, and making prominent use of religious imagery, comparing the festival place with the Garden of Eden (...and weve got to get ourselves back to the garden). The saga commences with the narrators encounter of a fellow traveler (Well, I came upon a child of God, he was walking along the road) and concludes at their ultimate destination (by the time we got to Woodstock, we were half a million strong...). There are also references to Vietnam War (bomber death planes flying shotgun in the sky).
