Knock on Woodstock: The Uproarious, Uncensored Story of the Woodstock Festival, the Gay Man...

I ENJOYED THE WAY YOU FIND OUT INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE FESTIVAL THAT ARE HUMMOROUS. VERY WELL PACED AND ELLIOT TIBER HAS EDUCATED EVERYONE WHO HAS READ THIS. IF YOU HAVEN'T, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING!

At a trade show in new york city I ran into a very odd man holding a pillow that said "I have a headache", that man was Elliot Tiber. It goes without saying that I wanted to read his book. The book is first rate, to be read with an open mind it exemplifies the true 60's. A look at the true color that underlies most sugar coated rah rah memories, it is both the things remembered and forgotten about that zenith event woodstock. I'm prowd to have met the man. Sean

The only Woodstock book out there that has a kiss and tell about the Rock stars, PLUS, and to me, more important, the insider's p.o.v. (uncensored) about the people behind the wildest music festival of the century! Mr.Tiber's unique style of absurdist zany comic writing kept me up all night until i finished the last word of the very last footnote. I was hysterical when I began reading the preface. I even found the dedication page(s) a rich list of celebrity pals of the author's - which went from Katherine Hepburn to the Moyel who performed the Jewish Bris ritual when he was 5 days old!! When I saw the author on CNBC's "Bob Berkowitz Getting Personal' show, with his friend Melanie, who got her 1st start at Woodstock, I was hooked, and ordered the book instantly! I even had an argument at the Barnes & Noble bookstore. This book should have been on the popular culture shelf, between Tina Turner and TS Elliot. Or on the New Book shelves or on Gay Literature shelf.. I asked the manager, who found a stack of copies hidden in the very rear of the store, on a general interst shelf!! He explained that since the cover had the words: GAY MAN, he didn't want to offend some customers!!! Censorship by a store clerk ? I was too young to be at Woodstock in '69, so this insane peek at such a major historical icon, was and continues to be a treasure! I've sent 15 copies as Christmas presents to good friends. 100% called to give me glowing accounts of the good time they had visiting Tiber's version of the festival. Carla B. Los Angeles
