This  just in: Ex Democratic Governor Elliot (whoremonger) Spitzer & South Carolina  Republican Mark (Argentinean whoremonger) Sanford have teamed up with Dr. Seuss for the much awaited sequel to Horton Hears a who, entitled, “Horton Hires a Ho!”

But seriously folks..Michael Jackson’s toxicology report is STILL delayed by request of the LAPD’s investigation for murder or manslaughter charges against Dr. Death Conrad Murray. Murray, who busy slamming Ashley Judd with Propfol, was not available for comment.

The 40th Anniversary of Woodstock held at Max Yasgur's 600 acre dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York  is celebrated this weekend. The existential love-fest featuring rock legends such as Jimmy Hendricks, Santana,  The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Joan Baez, Joe Cocker and a multitude of others brought peace, nudity,  love and pot to the mainstream spotlight. But I found a buttload of bands who declined Woodstock Check it out on Wikipedia:

The Doors were considered as a potential performing band, but canceled at the last moment; the cancellation was most likely due to Jim Morrison's known and vocal distaste for performing in large outdoor venues.[21] Doors drummer John Densmore attended, however, and in the film, he can be seen on the side of the stage during Joe Cocker's set.

Led Zeppelin was asked to perform, their manager Peter Grant stating: "We were asked to do Woodstock and Atlantic were very keen, and so was our US promoter, Frank Barsalona. I said no because at Woodstock we'd have just been another band on the bill". Instead the group went on with their hugely successful summer tour, playing that weekend south of the festival at the Asbury Park Convention Hall in New Jersey. Their only time out taken was to attend Elvis Presley's show at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, on August 12.[22]

Bob Dylan was in negotiations to play, but pulled out when his son became ill. He also was unhappy about the number of hippies piling up outside his house near the originally planned site.[26] He would go on to perform at the Isle of Wight Festival two weeks later.

The Byrds were invited, but chose not to participate, not figuring Woodstock to be any different from all the other music festivals that summer. In addition, there were concerns about money. As bassist John York remembers: "We were flying to a gig and Roger [McGuinn] came up to us and said that a guy was putting on a festival in upstate New York. But at that point they weren't paying all of the bands. He asked us if we wanted to do it and we said, 'No'. We had no idea what it was going to be. We were burned out and tired of the festival scene. [...] So all of us said, 'No, we want a rest' and missed the best festival of all.'"[24]

Jethro Tull declined to perform. Ian Anderson is reported to have later said he "didn't want to spend [his] weekend in a field of unwashed hippies".[23] Another theory proposes that the band felt the event would be "too big a deal" and might kill their career before it started.[23]. However, other artists from the time have expressed the view that, before the festival, there was little indication of the importance the event would eventually come to assume. Although Jethro Tull did not perform, their music was played over the public address system. In the film, during the interview with the promoters (where they are discussing how much money they will be losing on the venture), the songs "Beggar's Farm" and "Serenade to a Cuckoo", from the album This Was, can be heard in the background. Jethro Tull did perform at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970.
