On behalf of the publisher of the book TAKING WOODSTOCK, I feel it is important to point out here that while there are a few composite characters in the Ang Lee film of Elliot Tiber's memoir (which would be interpreted correctly as "fictional"), the film is based in the memoirs of Tiber and therefore this is most certainly NOT a fictionalized account of the August 1969 Woodstock Arts & Music Festival . . . without Elliot Tiber, there would not have been a Woodstock concert in Bethel - and the beauty of his story is the fact that this is how things really happened back in the Summer of '69 . . .
