Richie Havens remains an iconic figure of modern day folk/pop history. He opened Woodstock in 1969 by improvising on Beatles' tunes after he had run out of original material that day. His career was established that weekend. He remains a prolific songwriter/performer since that weekend in 1969. In an age of "flash in the pan" musical artists who come and go like yesterday's news,Richie Havens remains a constant artist writing about love,the loss of it and everyman's issues. Let's get Richie Havens on Saturday Night Live in the fall of 2012 and teach these young kids what musical talent is all about.
