Innocence = naiveté perhaps, but exuberance, yes! Woodstock was young America at the time blowing free. We need us one of those, now.

J, for me, what Woodstock represents is similar to what we have here at RP: music and love of music bring people together for reasons they can only begin to guess at. As much as I love ACL Fest, I recognize that it's a business endeavour. I wish all music festivals today could be as simple as Woodstock, but I know that without Woodstock, it's unlikely any of today's festivals would have happened (or at least not to the same degree).

I just finished reading Michael Lang's "Road to Woodstock". It was a fascinating read. As many of you already know, Michael Lang was one of the organizers of the Woodstock festival. He just came out with a book about the organization of the event, and it was quite interesting.
I am fascinated by all things Woodstock. I was born a mere three weeks prior to Woodstock (on the day that the Apollo 11 members returned to earth after their journey to the moon), so I wasn't there, but for my entire life I have been hearing about Woodstock.
It is my personal opinion that popular rock music reached its zenith during the late 60s and early 70s, and that Woodstock was the peak of that zenith. I have always fantasized about being at Woodstock, and attended the 1994 festival and had the time of my life. The Woodstock film is on my personal top ten movie list and I watch it frequently when I want to be inspired about what music and life can really aspire to.
That being said, after reading the Lang book, I was left with a feeling that maybe the baby boom generation that put this festival on and made it a cultural legend was really just being narcissistic about the whole thing. Ok, it was the zenith of pop music and culture, but did it REALLY rival the civil rights movement in significance? Maybe my mood here was created by Lang's narcissism and not that of the participants.
I am disturbed by my recent revelations and wish for my idealistic view of Woodstock to return. Please, all you aging hippies, enlighten me! Tell me why Woodstock is relevant today and tell me why this festival changed the United States and the world?!
I am hoping that this new forum will promote a discussion about Woodstock and it's legacy. I am not posting this to rain on anyone's parade, and my post is NOT a political statement. I really just want to hear different views from fellow RPeeps about what Woodstock means to YOU. Personal stories about being at Woodstock would be a bonus!
Three days of peace and love. And music. I can definitely dig THAT.
