[edit] 1971

I question the statement about the move of the Newport Jazz Festival in 1971. My wife and I had tickets to the festival held in Newport that year, but we sold them to the hippies that took over the venue. We were unable to get into the festival because of the hippie invasion. The police were unable to handle the drug scene that occurred when the hippies invaded in 1971. Hippies were lying all over the grounds either high or overdosed.
