Well, let’s start with the song ‘Who’ll Stop The Rain’ written by Creedence Clearwater Revival band leader at the time John Fogerty. According to John the song is often thought to have been a protest of the Vietnam War (like ‘Fortunate Son’), but when he performed it at the Arizona state fair in 2012, Fogerty told the crowd that he had been at Woodstock, watching the rain come down. He watched the festival goers dance in the rain, muddy, naked, cold, huddling together, and it just kept raining. So when he got back home after that weekend, he sat down and wrote "Who'll Stop the Rain," making it not a Vietnam protest at all, but a recounting of his Woodstock experience.

Wanna see the rain at Woodstock?
