1. Woodstock put Santana on the map, they were one of the standouts.

 

2. Whoever was managing Joan Baez had negotiation bling DOWN. I've seen her in her heyday, she was awesome. Being a solo act, she got a great cut, probably made the most money total of any individual who played.

All she needed to wow a crowd was an acoustic guitar.

It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.
