Book excerpt: In 1972 the banks of the Wabash River in southwestern Illinois played host to the worst music festival in history. The Bull Island Rock Festival was officially called The Erie Canal Soda Pop Festival and also went by Woodstock on the Wabash-- and the 3 day event degenerated into chaos. By the end of the festival even the stage had been burned down. "The Bull Island Rock Festival" is Dan Davis' story of attending the disaster of an event. Thwarted by rampant drug use, lack of food and water, and the burning of most of the structures involved, this is a personal history of a forgotten event.
