John Sebastian must have been high as f@ck

First, one song, and he's off? That's it? No Welcome Back Kotter. (Yes, I know that was 4 years later.)

Second, wow, that song he sang sucked. I mean it suuuuuuucked. What kind of a mess was that? And then when it looks like he forgets the words and asks the audience for help? And the audience just looks back at him and says, "Dude, you're on your own. Good luck."

Man, of all the stuff they could have put into the film, they pick this piece of crap? What's that about?

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

Why would they NOT use John Sebastian? He was a very popular musician at the time of filming. To say his number 'sucked' is pretty subjective; there were probably at least some in the audience who liked it.

And as for the 'being high' comment, that is just conjecture on your part. Plenty of first-rate musicians have actually performed live under the influence, and still managed to be impressive. The Who admitted that they had (unknowingly) drank punch spiked with acid, before their Woodstock set. Yet, it's actually one of the highlights of the movie. Go figure.

Hey, I'm glad you liked it. I think that of all the acts, of all the performances they could have chosen from, there had to be something better than this. Had to be.

Let's not forget Carlos wrestling the snake!

Well, the city's being built and I'm winning this game. So don't interrupt us with trifles.

He probably was high. It was Woodstock, hell half of the bands there were high and most of the audience. That's kind of part of it.
