TAKING WOODSTOCK: A TRUE STORY OF A RIOT, A CONCERT, AND A LIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 12346608B20924
English Summary/英文概要： A humble motel owner and his parents become the heroes in carrying off the momentous 1969 Woodstock rock concert in Tiber’s occasionally improbable yet thoroughly entertaining tale. Tiber, né Teichberg of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, put on hold his personal ambition in the mid-1950s as an artist to help his aging Old World Jewish parents run their ramshackle resort motel in White Lake, deep in the Catskill Mountains. Hounded by the guilt that he can’t live up to his parents’ standards and riven by his own covert homosexuality, Tiber pokes fun at what he calls the Teichberg Curse, a scourge that won’t allow the family to escape financial ruin. As head of the Chamber of Commerce in his small town, and possessed of the yearly permit to hold summer music concerts, Tiber gets wind of rock concert promoter Michael Lang’s need for a venue to hold the Woodstock festival. A month of frenzied preparations ensues as Max Yasgur’s farm is secured, the anticipated numbers swell, and tensions grow in the town. Yet the planning of the concert makes up only one part of Tiber’s very human story, which includes affecting side chapters on brushes with artists (Mark Rothko, Robert Mapplethorpe) and standing defiant when the cops raided the West Village gay bar Stonewall.

伍德斯托克音乐节创始人 真挚自述
一个名不见经传的小镇，一家广阔荒凉的奶牛场，一个不知天高地厚的年轻人，只因“和平、反战、博爱、平等”的理想，从此开启了长达半个世纪的音乐狂欢——伍德斯托克音乐节。在这之前，它的主要发起人埃利奥特·台伯只是一个再平凡不过的普通人。他热情、乐观、叛逆，充满对爱和梦想的渴望与执着；尽管冰冷的社会现实狠狠地压抑着他的自由意志与情感诉求，让身属边缘群体的他无法像其他人那样正常地表达爱、追求爱，但他不愿屈服，他决心向世界表达自己，向世界反抗——不是通过暴力，而是通过音乐与和平。
