The Hippie Muffler Man is still in good shape! He even has a necklace painted on him. While we were visiting him, we were honked at by two real Hippies. They flipped us the peace sign while driving a VW (although it was a Jetta). They then pulled into the Yasgur's Farm ... it was perfect!

I can confirm the Monticello muffler man. He is on Pleasant Street, in front of a fish store. He's been around the area for quite a while; I forget where he started out, but for a while he had a normal shirt and an ax in his hands. (By the way, his hands are correct, right up and left down) Then his shirt was painted in tie-dye (Monticello is only a few miles from the ORIGINAL Woodstock!). He now holds a large fish in his hands.
