Rolling Stone magazine on the upcoming Woodstock movie...
Producer James Schamus Says Ang Lee’s “Taking Woodstock” Will Capture “Hopeful Spirit”
I had to find the History of the mood ring today. This is what I googled...
The mood ring was invented in the late 1960s by Marvin Wernick when he accompanied a doctor friend to a nearby emergency. When the doctor pulled out a strip of thermotropic material to gauge the child's temperature by applying the strip directly to his forehead, jewelry designer Wernick knew he had the makings of a winning item. Wernick encapsulated ovals of the material within clear glass cameos and glass domes set in brushed gold and silver ring settings. His signature "hang-tag" contained claims for the ring's properties.

It was irst really marketed by Joshua Reynolds who, like Pet Rock inventor Gary Dahl, was a marketing wiz (and an heir to the R.J. Reynolds fortune). Reynolds, a New Yorker who was 33 at the peak of the fad, earned a degree in psychology from Colgate in the mid-60s and went on to invent the ThighMaster (so skillfully marketed by Suzanne Sommers).

After successful Obama rally performance,

In 2007 rumblings and online petitions to support a new Woodstock. Strong voices deamnd a return to the soul culture of the original Woodstock and away from the corporate clash of the last couple. The promoters and investors will most likely take serious notes from todays supports that voice their interests in attending. Let them hear your opinions too. I say keep it down to earth.
