Not a pleasant topic ("When domestic violence victim snaps, how much punishment is enough?"), but you have to love his caring and compassion and sense of justice. He shines on the State of CT, and the prisons that it made. Carrion and mercy.

Subject: By The Time I Got To Taking Woodstock I saw this film yesterday.Has anyone else seen it yet? especially anyone else who was there? It totally blew my mind ... brought back some deep and buried memories. It made me weep, I had a huge emotional response, from this beautiful chaotic funny and sad film about this generation-defining event. Joni's song, the version from Travelogue, is featured at the very beginning.... ~Richard, in San Francisco n.p.

It's a 'mockumentary' about a fictitious TV show host who got fired because of his inappropriate laughing at his guests, a woman who got paralyzed because of a surgeon accidentally cutting her spine, and a man who had a tonsillitis and got a bad treatment which resulted in a damage of his vocal cords.

We didn't attend Woodstock, so my emotional response to the movie was less about the festival and more about Elliot's journey of self-discovery. I completely missed Joni's Woodstock at the beginning!!! Completely, totally, absolutely missed it.
