This is now being widely reported, not just in Poughkeepsie

I'd imagine so. I just shared the first article I saw on my feed mentioning cancellation.

Quote

A spokesperson for Woodstock 50's financial partner says the Woodstock 50 festival has been canceled.

And Schuyler County Administrator Tim O'Hearn said in an email that he received notification that the event is being cancelled. Woodstock 50 was scheduled to be held Aug. 16-18 in Watkins Glen, Schuyler County. 

But organizers for the 2019 Woodstock festival say this is false and the concert will be held. 

"Woodstock 50 vehemently denies the festival's cancellation and legal remedy will (be) sought," a statement from Woodstock 50 said.

A previously undiscovered "sequel" to Anthony Burgess' dystopian cult classic "A Clockwork Orange" has been found among the author's archives.

In the unfinished "The Clockwork Condition," the author responds to the moral panic caused by Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of his most-famous novel, which had come out just weeks before.
 

The nonfiction work, which also includes a series of philosophical thoughts on the human condition, runs to around 200 typewritten pages, and features several handwritten notes. It had been left for decades among in his abandoned home in Bracciano, Italy, before being boxed up after his death in 1993 and sent to the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester, England, alongside several other works and possessions.

 

"It's not finished, but there is quite a lot there," Andrew Biswell, who works at the foundation and helped make the discovery, told CNN. "If you put the book together, you can see what might have been."

 

"It's given us more detail about a whole range of thoughts and feelings he had about culture, in the immediate aftermath of the film having come out," Biswell added.

Kubrick's 1971 adaptation ultimately received critical and commercial acclaim and boosted the popularity of Burgess' book, but caused massive controversy on its release for its violent and sexual content.

 

The author was forced to confront suggestions that he glorified and encouraged violent acts through his work, which describes the horrific spree of "ultra-violence" by a gang of delinquent criminals in a futuristic Britain.

 

"Burgess felt very strongly that he was in the firing line," Biswell says, describing the themes of the newly discovered manuscript. "He's very concerned by the accusation that this film has provoked people to do evil things."

 

In one section of the manuscript, Burgess writes that young people at the time had learned "a style of violence," but not violence itself -- which he felt was inherent in some people.

 

In another section, Burgess muses on the impact of television and the mass media on people in the 1970s. He writes of "man trapped in the world of machines, unable to grow as a human being and become himself." He diagnoses the titular "Clockwork Condition" as the state of "feeling alienated, partly because of the mass media," Biswell says.

 

The text of "The Clockwork Condition" was meant to be supplemented by a series of around 80 photographs on the subject of freedom and the individual. The work was structured in the same way as one of his favorite poems, Dante's "Inferno," and was publicly mentioned by Burgess just once.

 

Burgess wrote a series of novels and comic works throughout his life, but none resonated with audiences like "A Clockwork Orange." It was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language books written between 1923 and 2005, while Kubrick's film was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar.

 

Kubrick's work is set to be honored in an exhibition at London's Design Museum opening April 26, 2019.

Great set.

A short but cool clip/cover. Doesn't feel like seven years since he passed.

Opening of the PBS show "Great Drives" .

I'm far more bothered by non stop talkers, and cologne/perfume at shows to be honest. Though,  I'm also usually too into the show to worry about taking pics, or what other people are doing around me (except non-stop talking). But, if I was a entertainer on stage all the time, and doing 100+ shows a year, I'm sure I'd be sick of seeing it too, so I get his point.

Personally, I turn my phone off pretty much anytime I'm in a small or crowded public place, like a bus, a store I'll be more than 5 minutes in, hospital, venue or even a corner bar.

The most interesting thing for me about all this is, it's the first time in two years he addressed the audience.

Last year Bob Dylan launched Heaven’s Door, his own line of premium whiskey. The Nobel Prize-winning singer-songwriter has revealed that he will be opening Heaven’s Door Distillery & Center For The Arts, a whiskey distillery and music venue at a renovated 160-year-old church in Downtown Nashville.

“Nashville is the natural home for the Heaven’s Door distillery and the Elm Street Church is a fitting home for Dylan’s visual artwork,” shared Marc Bushala, CEO of Heaven’s Door Spirits. “We spent years looking for a property that truly captures the essence of the Heaven’s Door brand, and when we finally found the deconsecrated church in SoBro, we immediately knew that it would be the perfect physical and spiritual center for the brand, and Bob’s art.”

Set to open in the fall of 2020, Heaven’s Door Distillery & Center For The Arts will feature a restaurant and whiskey library along with a 360-person capacity performance space. Additionally, the venue will also incorporate Dylan’s artwork and metal sculptures.

I knew I should have searched the thread. I won't blame the beers or herb though, just my laziness.

No, it's that and getting the hell out and home in a relatively painless time-frame, which will be unlikely to impossible (but my coworker thinks the organizers may try to close off surrounding concession roads to act as feeders, which could lesson the pain). The route out will be jammed since there's really only one way out, and then one highway to and from the field. There is no way to get there but by car (no public transit), and everyone will be drinking, so I can't imagine there won't be long police checks.

I have a friend who lives in that area, we used to go to the auto flea market that is held on the grounds. He charged people to park on his property during the boots and hearts fest, and told them all the money was going to a fund residents had set up to block the site from expanding. He warned that parking anywhere not permitted (signed as festival parking) could get you towed and towing cost are not cheap, especially during the festival, and that not all the towing companys hired those weekends/events are local, so your car could end up a lot further (like a different town) than the designated parking. The city by-law folks are also cracking down on residents who rent out parking on their property (it's against residential by-laws), so even though you paid some one you could still get towed (though not confirmed). The festival submits transit plans ( approved routes, parking etc) to the city. The routes approved are strictly enforced.

There was only one way in and out (as you mentioned). If you are attending and take a route not set out to avoid the traffic and are stopped by OPP or festival workers you'll get turned back to 11 highway. Which can make a slow go even more frustrating since there is usually a slow crawl on those routes as well, making you're journey even longer.. His advice was just stick to the routes/parking set out by city & festival organizers, otherwise you'll be in for a longer and bigger headache. My buddy says its bad enough during the festvals that he parks his car at friends place a couple kms away and travels by bicycle to get to it. But since its not a full weekend deal it may not be as bad as the above sounds.

Cheers Jaimoe,  Humble Pie it is for the rest of the night.

Humble Pie were so fucking great, and fucking criminally underrated. Marriott and Frampton leading this one. Cool song!! 

 

Love this band. Hits all the right spots tonight. Great post! Cheers.

I was probably less than 40ft from stage (Brent side) during this. After they left the stage, the crowd chanted and clapped "Love is real, not fade away" while leaving Rich Stadium. You could hear it clear as day all the way to the bus. Such an awesome night. 

Released 50 years ago but never played live.

Neil Young has pulled out some stunningly-rare tunes on his solo acoustic theater tour since it began just one week ago, including “Ambulance Blues,” “The Last Trip to Tulsa,” “Broken Arrow” and “Razor Love.” But last night at the State Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he brought things to a whole other level with “Running Dry (Requiem for The Rockets).” The mournful song appeared on his 1969 LP Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, but until Tuesday he’d never played it live even a single time.

Great new bluesy ballad: 

 

Agreed. Thanks for posting this, I somehow missed that they were back, let alone had some new music.

Found this too, considering I'm so out of touch, I assume this is new as well - the video was posted on yt same day.

Filmmaker Peter Jackson has been tapped to turn 55 hours of never-released footage of the Beatles recording Let It Be into a new movie.

The footage was shot by British director Michael Edward Lindsay-Hogg between January 2nd and January 31st, 1969. It was originally intended for a TV special, but the project changed over time and ultimately became Lindsay-Hogg’s 1970 documentary, Let It Be, which famously featured the Beatles’ performance on the roof of the Apple Corps headquarters in London.

In a statement, Jackson said of the film, “The 55 hours of never-before-seen footage and 140 hours of audio made available to us, ensures this movie will be the ultimate ‘fly on the wall’ experience that Beatles fans have long dreamt about – it’s like a time machine transports us back to 1969, and we get to sit in the studio watching these four friends make great music together.”

Jackson added that he hoped the film would help disperse the cloud of conflict that’s long hung over Let It Be, which was recorded 18 months before the Beatles broke up.

“I was relieved to discover the reality is very different to the myth,” Jackson said. “Sure, there’s moments of drama – but none of the discord this project has long been associated with. Watching John, Paul, George, and Ringo work together, creating now-classic songs from scratch, is not only fascinating – it’s funny, uplifting and surprisingly intimate.”

The film is currently in production, though a release date and title have yet to be announced. The project is being made in full cooperation with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison. Following the arrival of Jackson’s new film, a restored version of Lindsay-Hogg’s Let It Bewill also be released.
