The 50th anniversary of the Roskilde Festival will be in two years. It has been held every year since 1971, and I enjoyed my time there in the 1990s.

The Isle of Wright Festival was held in 1968, 1969, and 1970, then revived in 2002.
From Wiki:
The 1970 event was by far the largest of these early festivals and the unexpectedly high attendance levels led, in 1971, to Parliament adding a section to the Isle of Wight County Council Act 1971 preventing overnight open-air gatherings of more than 5,000 people on the island without a special licence from the council.
The event was revived in 2002.
The 1970 acts included: Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Jethro Tull, Ten Years After, Chicago, The Doors, Lighthouse, The Who (whose set produced a live album), Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Moody Blues, Joan Baez, Free, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Kris Kristofferson, Donovan, John Sebastian, Terry Reid, Taste, and Shawn Phillips.

Jimi did double duty in the summer of 1970 as the top act for half a million in the very small town of Byron GA on July 3 and played The Star Spangled Banner at midnight to begin the nation’s 194th birthday.

Jim's last performance with The Doors was on December 12, 1970 in New Orleans.
Ray Manzarek remembers the Doors’ last concert well. It was the night singer Jim Morrison’s spirit left his body — though it would return to linger for another few months. The date was December 12, 1970; the Doors were playing a large, dank waterfront venue in New Orleans. Hunched over his keyboard, Manzarek says, he felt Morrison ”leave the stage” — but Morrison’s body was standing stock-still in front of the microphone. When the singer’s ”spirit” returned, it was with a vengeance: He smashed a hole through the stage with a mike stand, ending the concert early and providing a suitably dramatic finish to what turned out to be the Doors’ final performance with Morrison.

BLACKBERRY VINES
TRIMMING BUSHES
Blackberries need pruning each year so they don't become unmanageable. Pruning helps maintain tangle-free blackberry bushes and keeps them confined to their space. Keeping blackberry well pruned also helps the plants send up new shoots, keeps plants healthy and creates stronger, more productive canes, which increases the fruit yield.

Carefully planned chaos: A look at how an iconic video came together 30 years ago
Thirty years ago in Los Angeles, music-video director Meiert Avis also had a vision for bringing U2 fans out to the streets. The streets had names – 7th and Main – if not the greatest reputation, back then. In downtown L.A., it was considered a bit of a rough area. For the video for Where the Streets Have No Name, Avis wanted U2 to perform on a building roof, in an homage to the Beatles' final public performance. The stunt was also meant to announce U2's arrival to the big, big time. U2 – a band Avis had been working with since the beginning – were already rock stars, but with the release of The Joshua Tree, they were on the brink of being gigantic.
The intent "was to be disruptive, the truth be told. And just for the point of rock 'n' roll," Avis says from L.A., where he now lives. "That was the album that was going to put them into the public eye, so [we were] using a flash mob scenario to create a spontaneous media event that one couldn't help but notice."

Lana Turner was a great talent and very beautiful, supposedly discovered at the age of 16 at a LA drugstore counter.
Lana Del Rey was born in NYC, raised in upstate NY and then found her way to now live in Venice Beach. LA women!

Marina Del Rey is really nice. I lived in Venice Beach for a while, before moving to other parts of Los Angeles. I lived in L.A. for quite a while. It would have been nice if Lana was my neighbor in Venice Beach. Maybe she would have invited me over for a Pepsi Cola.

A strong memory of a Friday night in Oslo is a young Norwegian woman telling me that all the young people are walking around with Coca Cola bottles because that's how they hide the vodka. She was very cute and gave me some of her coke and vodka and it was a fun night.

The Dude’s home really is in Venice. A one-bedroom apartment in a six-unit complex, there’s some debate whether the actual bungalow is 606 or 609 Venezia Ave. Please don’t bother the neighbors. And don’t pee on their rug. It really ties the room together.
