“Sometimes I don’t feel as if I’m a person at all, just a collection of other people’s ideas.”

The Woodstock Music & Art Fair opened 48 years ago today, Aug. 15, 1969. Over 400,000 people attended including this couple pictured here. “I like this shot of a handsome young hippie couple,” photographer John Dominis told LIFE.com in a past interview. “They seem so comfortable with each other. A very endearing image, I think.” (John Dominis—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #Woodstock

Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.

Art is how we decorate space; music is how we decorate time.

Q: “Paul, how often have you taken LSD?” PAUL: (pause) “About four times.” Q: “And where did you get it from?” PAUL: “Well, you know, if I was to say where I got it from, you know, I mean… it’s illegal and everything… it’s silly to say that, you know. So I’d rather not say that.” Q: “Don’t you believe that this is a matter which you should have kept private?” PAUL: “Mmm, but the thing is – I was asked a question by a newspaper, and the decision was whether to tell a lie or tell him the truth. I decided to tell him the truth… but I really didn’t want to say anything, you know, because if I had my way I wouldn’t have told anyone. I’m not trying to spread the word about this. But the man from the newspaper is the man from the mass medium. I’ll keep it a personal thing if he does too you know… if he keeps it quiet. But he wanted to spread it so it’s his responsibility, you know, for spreading it not mine.” Q: “But you’re a public figure and you said it in the first place and you must have known it would make the newspaper.” PAUL: “Yeah, but to say it is only to tell the truth. I’m telling the truth, you know. I don’t know what everyone’s so angry about.” Q: “Do you think that you have now encouraged your fans to take drugs?” PAUL: (clearly and calmly) “I don’t think it’ll make any difference. I don’t think my fans are going to take drugs just because I did, you know. But the thing is – that’s not the point anyway. I was asked whether I had or not. And from then on, the whole bit about how far it’s gonna go and how many people it’s going to encourage is up to the newspapers, and up to you on television. I mean, you’re spreading this now, at this moment. This is going into all the homes in Britain. And I’d rather it didn’t. But you’re asking me the question – You want me to be honest – I’ll be honest.” Q: “But as a public figure, surely you’ve got the responsibility to…” PAUL: “…No, it’s you who’ve got the responsibility. You’ve got the responsibility not to spread this NOW. You know, I’m quite prepared to keep it as a very personal thing if you will too. If you’ll shut up about it, I will.“

The music industry went from trying to make recordings sound as good as a live performance, to trying to make live performances sound as good as a record.
