They discovered it while at a friend's house listening to the album and passing around the gatefold jacket. First, Nick recognized the famous yellow butterfly staff in the left corner. "It belonged to this guy Herbie," Nick says. "We latched on to him that day because he was having a very bad experience. He was tripping pretty heavily and he had lost his friends. After I saw that staff I said, 'Hey that's our blanket.' Then I said, 'Hey, that's us.'"Not only are the kids from the cover of the original Woodstock record (ask your parents) still alive forty years on, they're still together, and totally adorable.

"Despite all the time gone by, Nick says they still get recognized. "We were in Germany, and right when we walked into the hotel they knew who we were."
I find that VERY hard to believe given the then and now photos....
Maybe the always travel wrapped in a dirty blanket?
What about the naked chick swimming? What happened to her?
'Herbie' however did not fare that well and in general was never adorable (a bit of ass in fact).
Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof.
The Eighties happened to Herbie. He died of the Love Bug.
Will someone in 40 years time track down this couple from last week's Blur gig? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WIkoKMTcUk
Then I'm sure they'll be just as keen to mythologise their youth: "So when the E kicked-in, kids, your Grandma knew she just had to get her grind on."
