I have this record 47 years - and all this time I thought that he was singing about(something in) the snow ... ???? Boy , was I wrong !!!

Yes , Google translate is great ...
Don't know how I came to think that - White is White ??? Hhhmmm ....

But since 5 weeks I know that it is an ode to the Festival on the Isle of Wight.
It is an ode to the island , the festival , the artists that performed there , and the
people who visited the event - the Hippies - Hippies ...

According to Wikipedia the festival took place , 2 weeks after the famous Woodstock Festival in 1969.Many of the artists who were at Woodstock also showed up on the Isle of Wight ...

Bob Dylan (USA) and Donovan (UK) were famous protest singer/songwriters in these days...
