Subject: Curtis Mayfield 1971

I seem to remember that during the end of the spring semester there would be a giant cookout/concert in the field that made up the inner north section of the stadium loop. I hitched up there in 71 for the concert expecting to link up with my friends. Curtis Mayfield was one of the performers. Am I the only one who found Mayfield's lyrics to be infuriatingly inane? Several times I had the MC make an announcement for my friends. They never showed. If there were only cell phones in 1971! I hitched home in the rain, covered with a plastic tarp I brought to the canceled Powder Ridge rockfest the year before.

So I was wondering if anyone remembered what the name of that annual event was.
