[OutVoice] Coming out while "Taking Woodstock"

[themusenyc]

speaking of Woodstock;

For those interested in checking out Elliot's original indie film, the 1998 "Ticket to Freedom - Woodstock", (on which the new "Taking Woodstock" is based) - "Ticket to Freedom-Woodstock" features original music film score by yours truly and original soundtrack songs by Richie Havens. The cast includes Elliot Tiber as himself and the late great Virginia Graham in a zany cameo. 

 I don't know if "Ticket to Freedom" ever made it from video to dvd - but u can check out it's original press kit info at:

(In meeting Ritchie Havens  - and in seeing him alongside the leather-clad gay Elliot Tiber thru much of the film - my impression was that Ritchie Havens is gay - but as far as i know there's no proof of this other than my gaydar. - Anyone know?)

- "TAKING WOODSTOCK" is the new film from Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee based on the memoirs of Elliot Tiber, who in the summer of 1969 came to terms with his sexuality while playing a pivotal role in bringing half a million people to his neighbor's farm for “3 Days of Peace & Music.”  STEVE PRIDE talks to stars DEMETRI MARTIN, LIEV SCHREIBER and filmmaker ANG LEE about the gay story behind the legendary cultural event (with clips from the film and intro/outro music from the soundtrack, "Freedom" by RICHIE HAVENS).
