Max Yasgur: Self

Quotes 

• Max Yasgur : [to crowd, puts up the peace sign]  I'm a farmer. I don't know - I don't know how to speak to 20 people at one time, let alone a crowd like this! But I think you people have proven something to the world! Not only to the town of Bethel or Sullivan County or New York State, you've proven something to the world. This is the largest group of people ever assembled in one place. We have had no idea that there would be this size group, and because of that you've had quite a few inconveniences as far as water and food and so forth. Your producers have done a mammoth job to see that you're taken care of... they would enjoy a vote of thanks. But above that, the important thing that you've proven to the world is that a half a million kids, and I call you kids because I have children that are older than you are, a half a million young people can get together and have three days of fun and music and have nothing *but* fun and music, and I God bless you for it!
