Andy Williams didn’t play at Woodstock

So what's with all these Golden Oldies headlining Live Earth, asks Don Surber:

Andy Williams didn’t play at Woodstock. He was 41 that summer.

Ray Charles, then 38, wasn’t
invited either.
And at age 52, Dean Martin certainly wasn’t.
So what
were and Jon Bon Jovi at 45, Madonna at 48, and ex-Pink Floyd Roger Waters, 63,
doing headlining a rock concert? None of their top hits were within a decade of
the “Live Earth” concert. Williams, Charles and Martin each had released his
signature recording within a few years of Woodstock.
In fact, Pink Floyd’s
hit — “The Wall” — is as contemporary today as “Chattanooga Choo-Choo” was in
1969.

My favorite quote in this article is -"One reason “Live Earth” was dead last in the TV ratings is the music was irrelevant to the target audience." If their music is irrelevant, then their message must be too. Is this the last gasp of the "Me Generation? I hope so.
