The Beatles Were Not There
The Beatles refused to perform at Woodstock. John was reportedly angry that their request to have Yoko Ono perform alongside them was turned down.
Melanie Safka Had To Prove Herself
A relatively unknown 19-year-old folk singer named Melanie Safka was never given an artist VIP pass. So she had to sing to security guards in order to convince them she was scheduled to perform on stage.
There Is No Evidence That Anyone Was Born at Woodstock
There are rumors that babies were born at Woodstock, but there is nothing factual to substantiate these claims. So if anyone ever says they were a Woodstock baby, then they must be mistaken. Any babies that were born during Woodstock were born in a hospital.
But There Were A Few Deaths
There are three reported deaths at Woodstock. Two people died from drug overdoses and the third person was run over by a tractor while asleep in a sleeping bag.
The Death Toll Could Have Been Much Worse
It is rather surprising that only three people died considering there were so many medical incidents that happened at the festival. More than 5,000 incidents were reported and 800 of them were drug related.
