Comparisons to Woodstock

We have to accept that Woodstock and Summer Jam will always be linked. So on August 1973,  an op-ed piece in the New York Times, Judy Klemesrud in her article about Summer Jam read, “There were the same nude bathers in the same muddy ponds. The same casual sex. The same rampant drug scene, only this year ‘ludes’ (Quaaludes, or downs’) were the hot sellers — along with an ocean of booze — instead of Woodstock’s amphetamines and LSD.”
