The Movie the Grapes of Wrath depicts life during the depression in the 1930s
The Grapes of Wrath
1940
Directed by John Ford, this black and white epic drama, adapted from John Steinbeck's 1939 novel. The film honestly and realistically recreates the economic impact of the Great Depression and one representative family - the Joads.
Highly awarded with seven Academy Award nominations for the film. Jane Darwell won for Best Supporting Actress and John Ford won for Best Director. Henry Fonda was applauded for one of his greatest film roles.
The plight of the Joad family is portrayed as a microcosm of the thousands of migrant family's departure from their windy and dusty land, and their slow disintegration provides insight into the thousands of families who were evicted and uprooted from their "Dust Bowl" farm land, and forced to search westward in California for jobs and survival.
Grace Slick sings White Rabbit with the Jefferson Airplane at Woodstock - 1969
WOODSTOCK ROCKS
Bethel, New York
August 15 – 17, 1969
The largest rock concert ever, arrived and left, and we will never be the same again. The police estimated that there were a million people on the road trying to get to the festival. Controlling the overwhelming crowd was next to impossible.
The festival actually took place on Max Yasgur's farm about fifty miles away. Woodstock was the original location since that was where Bob Dylan was currently residing.
There were no clear headliners; the lineup included: Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Band, Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Santana, The Who, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Richie Havens, Sly and the Family Stone, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Sha-Na-Na, Joe Cocker, Jimi Hendrix, and many more.
Jimi Hendrix’s guitar solo of the "Star Spangled Banner" might be the most memorable musical event of the festival. Woodstock was a peaceful gathering for one million young citizens who were virtually left on their own and discovered the words Sharing, Helping, Consideration, and Respect. Thousands left the Woodstock event with a totally different outlook on life, and rock music moved to the forefront of American pop culture.

For the Year 1906 | Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said, ‘Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health.’ (Shocking, huh?)
