Now a days people either don't listen to this stuff or don't care or even if they do most won't admit too liking it.no body appreciates anything the generations before them did. I mean really what am I going to tell my kids when they get older" yea my generation sat on their lazy asses and didn't do crap to stand up for what they believe in." yup I'll be proud to remember these life changing hard working years my generation is making so unforgettable!

Apr 5, 2012 - Bert couldn't be included on the video because Warner Bros had the rights to all his music. to spite him for moving to Capitol records, they refused to let any of his songs on the Woodstock film. this was a factor on why Bert Sommer did not have his career uplifted like Sanatna and Richie Havens did.

May 7, 2012 - His name was on it, but for some reason that absolutely none of us could figure out, some asswipe scraped it off. I was very close to Bert and he stayed at my house during his last few days on earth. I still feel really bad that I had to do a show out of town on his final day, which he was totally cool with because he understood the biz, but he seemed to be doing better that day, so I flew out, not knowing it would be the last time I saw my best friend.I haven't had one since.
