Half-Cocker Power
Edward Helmore, MOJO, October 1994
"MUSHING, UH, I MEAN MOSHING," says Joe Cocker when asked to explain the difference between Woodstocks '69 and '94, after playing a standout festival opener. "It was a little strange out there because of the generation difference... I got the vibe they were on their way somewhere too, but where to, I don't know."
