The 40th anniversary of the seminal Woodstock Music and Arts Festival may held as a free one day event in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. According to Michael Lang, a Brooklyn native who was one of the festival's original promoters, the borough and its park are quite the location. “It’s big, it’s convenient. There’s public transportation--and Brooklyn’s cool. There’s no space anywhere in Central Park as large as the the Long Meadow in Prospect Park." The event would cost between $8-$10 million to put on.
Oh, and it would be a genuinely hippie-type affair: the likes of Neil Young, Crosby Stills and Nash, Phish, and Dave Matthews Band are on the organizer's wish list.
