Book Reviews of Taking Woodstock
Book Review: Old hippies beware
Summary: 1 Stars
You'd think that after 40 years, there would be nothing left to say about Woodstock, and this book proves it. It tells little about the festival itself, but a lot -- an awful lot -- about the author's acknowledged Jewish/homosexual hangups of his youth. One incredible cliche piles on top of another: his sexual awakening in seedy theatres and bath houses, his domineering Jewish momma, the hard as nails transvestite who protects Elliot from The Mob, the loving lesbian with a heart of gold who teaches Elliot about life, his first acid trip, his first threesome with an impossibly beautiful couple of hippies whom he just happened to bump into, all described with a curious detachment and lack of verisimilitude, and peppered with risibly clunky dialogue. Reading Tiber's Pooterish prose -- he often refers to it as "my festival" -- the unwary might be fooled into thinking that he was indeed a mover and shaker at the greatest festival the world had seen. History tells us that he was in fact a very minor bit part player on the fringes of Woodstock, a motel owner who sought to make a quick buck out of the incoming wave of potential customers -- and who can blame him? This book is just pushing his luck.
