THIS WEEKEND IN ROCK
ON AUGUST 26TH…
In 1967…The Beatles appeared with their new guru, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, at a press conference. Paul McCartney announced that the band had given up drugs. He said, “It was an experience we went through. We don’t need it anymore. We’re finding different ways to get there.”

In 1970…The Isle of Wight Festival kicked off in England. Thousands turned up expecting the concert to turn into a free festival, like its Woodstock predecessor, only to discover organizers had surrounded the place with a large metal fence. The freeloaders spent most of their time banging on the fence demanding entry. Meanwhile, the promoters didn’t have enough money to pay their acts. During Joni Mitchell’s set, one audience member grabbed the mic to say the festival had turned into a “hippie concentration camp,” which caused Mitchell to burst into tears.
