That made as much sense as Sha-na-na at Woodstock At first glance Sha Na Na doesn't make sense playing at Woodstock, but in fact, in a weird way, it did make sense. Sha Na Na rose to fame in the late 60s/early 70s with their act that was largely spoofing the 50s..the era when all the hippies and baby boom music lovers of the 60s were growing up. I guess this was one of the first examples of irony in pop music/youth culture. I have a show that was video taped live at the Fillmore East in 1970 where Sha Na Na was on the bill. The crowd went nuts when they did 'Teen Angel'. Pretty funny. Now Seals & Croft at California Jam...yeah..doesn't make any sense at all. Makes as much sense as Britney Spears playing the former Yasgur's Farm, site of the original Woodstock. She played their a few years back when they were using the grounds (periodically) for concerts. Now that only doesn't make any sense, that's just plain blasphemous!!!!
