The Lowrider Band consists of three of the four surviving original core group members of the multi-platinum selling band War: Howard E. Scott, Lee Oskar, and Harold Brown. These members lost the right in federal court to use and tour under the name "War" in the mid-1990s to Far Out Productions (producer and manager Jerry Goldstein). The band's original keyboardist Lonnie Jordan now tours using the name "War" under Goldstein's guidance.

Woodstock Music and Art Fair, commonly referred to simply as Woodstock, was a music festival held August 15–18, 1969, on Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York, 40 miles (65 km) southwest of the town of Woodstock. Billed as "an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music" and alternatively referred to as the Woodstock Rock Festival, it attracted an audience of more than 400,000.
Thirty-two acts performed outdoors despite sporadic rain.

The festival has become widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history as well as a defining event for the counterculture generation.

The event's significance was reinforced by a 1970 documentary film, an accompanying soundtrack album, and a song written by Joni Mitchell that became a major hit for both Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Matthews Southern Comfort. Music events bearing the Woodstock name were planned for anniversaries, which included the tenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth, thirtieth, fortieth, and fiftieth.
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine listed it as number 19 of the 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll.
In 2017, the festival site became listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Author Mark Brickley’s book, Postcards From Liverpool: Beatles Moments & Memories, began with a single story. Working as a USA music writer for Noozhawk.com and the Coastal View News, Mark wrote about the backstory to the Beatles first 1962 single record. “I loved the band’s music and wanted to add something new to their written history,” Brickley said. Many unexpected Beatles experiences followed, including seeing Paul McCartney receive his “Star” on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and attending Ringo Starr’s LA Grammy Museum press conference and memorabilia exhibition. “After interviewing early Apple Records artist Jackie Lomax in Ojai, California, I saw my book emerging. Most of its Beatles related photos are my originals.”Postcards From Liverpool was first published in 2017 and was re-released in 2019 with a new interior design/format, two dozen new photos and four new chapters, including the author’s 2018 meet-up with early Beatles drummer Pete Best. “I try to bring new information to each chapter to interest both long-term and newer fans, Brickey said. “I’ve also continued to write about the Beatles in the UK’s British Beatles Fan Club Magazine and USA’s Octopus Garden Beatles Fanzine.”
