We may actually say that Przystanek Woodstock originated 40 year’s ago, not 15 as it was inspired by the famous American Woodstock event dating back to 1969. Michael Lang  -  one of the organizers is now in Poland in Kostrzyn by the German boarder keeping an eye on the 15th edition of our “love and peace” meeting place together with Lech Wałęsa and Tadeusz Mazowiecki. Listen to the whole day coverage of the event on radiowroclove.com by Viola Lamot.
