i was 17. my freinds left and i missed the ride so i hitchhiked from mpls-st paul.got a ride from some young hippies like myself who squeezed me into their full car. got into the fest free. drugs openly sold out of plywood drugstores. traded a nice belt for a blue capsule, one of several pills and caps the guy had in his hand. as a second thought i asked him what it was, he said MDA, go fry your mind. i did, i sat amonst some people i didnt know, two dudes came back from the pond with a frog. i watched as they made a jail out of a watermelon rind and straw. the anouncer came on the speakers,"theres some bad acid out there, the OD tent is on the left side of the stage, I repeat" as i thought to myself "oh great". Sunday morn the anouncer said "theres some bikers down by the barn hassling people and they raped some chicks, they need some help". about one out of ten dudes stood up, me included, it had to be at least one thousand hippies, and moved toward the commotion. as we moved down the road toward the barn we start throwing rocks at the bikers who started freaking out. think of a thousand rocks. they were jumping on their bikes and getting the hell out of there, but one guys bike wouldn't start and he kicked and kicked until the rocks were too much. one of his buddies waited for him and yelled for him to leave the bike. he jumped on his buudies bike and they did a couple of doghnuts trying to escape the rocks. as the hippies closed in, we were within a few hundred feet, the biker on the back of the bike pulled a pistol and shot in my direction, hitting a guy just behind me to my right in the abdoman. the hippies were a mob and the bikers could not escape. a hippie ran ahead of us out of the crowd, he had a rifle, i beleive, and the biker jumped off the back of the bike and ran forward a few steps and they both aimed their guns at each others head. thank God, after a few seconds they lowered the guns and the biker jumped back on the bike. i think that this dramatic gunplay shocked everyone and made everyone take a breath because though we stil were showering them with rocks, we let them escape. Oh yeah, and i do remember some great music notably Iggy Pop and the Stooges; even though it was a fairly high stage iggy flew off into the crowd and they held him up passed him around over their heads and didn't drop him, and Richie Havens who sang, pretty much the same set as he did at woodstock.
