They placed an ad on The New York Times, that stated, “Young men with unlimited capital looking for interesting, legitimate investment opportunities and business propositions," and thats where they met Kornfeld and Lang. (Mitchell, 1997) Then all four of them got together and started putting together the idea doing a concert but they didn’t realize it would later become the greatest rock concert. They had trouble getting a permit where they could host this concert and a group called Concerned Citizen Committee got about 2000 signatures of residents who didn’t want hippie drug users in their town.

The Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet, the big wall at the entrance that was once used as a drive-In movie screen, now painted blue with a lame clip-art beach scene, promises bargains and fun, but it’s been my own personal Hades for more than a decade.

Barriers were broken, people were brought together and prejudices were forgotten at this event that would soon be talked about worldwide as that music festival that changed the world for the better. Woodstock was put together by 4 men: Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld, Mike Lang, and John Roberts in order to raise enough money to build a recording studio.
