Obscure Lyric for the week of Aug.10/09

Good morning and welcome to another week in August. Looks like real summer weather this week, hot, humid and steamy. The old air conditioner is going to get used this week. I wonder how hot it was at Woodstock 40 years ago? We all know they had rain, no matter how hard the chanted "no rain". That was at least one thing they had no control over.

This weeks song was sung by the very first performer at Woodstock 1969. he did not write the song, but I will ask you who did. It's not that tough when you see the words. But I know then answer. The song does not necessarily sound like the original, but covers are often different as one person noted.

Living is easy with eyes closed

misunderstanding all you see

it's getting hard to be someone but it all works out

it doesn't matter much to me

I would like to know the following:

The name of the song:

Who wrote it:

Who performed it at Woodstock:

What time the first act(this person) started at Woodstock:

Where is there a place named after this song:

Have a great week, enjoy the heat and the summer that has arrived. I will be away on Friday, but will send out the big reveal on Friday morning anyway. I wonder how many of you will get this one. Looking forward to hearing from you.
