July 18,
1994 Dear
Melanie, I've
listened to "Summer Of Love", many times now. It is a privilege to
have you as one of our very first artists at BETHEL '94. I love the song - it
should be everyone's 'Theme' and 'dream' Wish you so
much luck with it - keep singing it, and keep the flame burning. Kindest
thoughts, Sid Bernstein |

Why did I
write "Summer of Love"? As the
Indians believe that there are certain places that are sacred, there is
something magical and mystical on the site of the original Woodstock. What makes
the site significant? It has to do with the "pull" a place has,
because a great event has occurred there. Woodstock has that
"thing" that spiritually bands together. It is like a rare moment
one may have experienced, say on Christmas eve, or during a crisis - where
people become of that same big common denominator. It goes beyond mere
survival, and it strikes a chord in all of us. Now this
truth is still lingering at that site, accessible, tangible and ready to be
received. When people make a pilgrimage there, it is a walk towards humanity. Regardless
of what title or names are given to the power and the feelings of this
festival and why it connects us, it is important to recognize it and
acknowledge its existence. It was real, and is real, and that knowledge is an
affirmation that we are spiritual beings. |
