Having traveled from Arkansas to upstate New York
to celebrate his 23rd birthday, William Jefferson “Bill” Clinton
(born Aug. 19, 1946,) attended a legendary concert Aug. 15-18, 1969.
On his way home, Bill stopped for a cheeseburger in
Carbondale, Pennsylvania, and encountered Janis Joplin
whom he had seen at Woodstock the previous day.
He asked.
She agreed
to sing while he
improvised on saxophone:
“Oh Lord, won’t you buy me
a Mercedes Benz.
My friends all drive Porsches,
I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime
No help from my friends.
So Lord, won’t you buy me
a Mercedes Benz.”
When Clinton entered politics, it was agreed that
the story of Bill being at Woodstock
should never be told.
AM I MAKING THIS UP?
