I was there too

Lord at the open drug markets and naked women walking around

Good band lineup

They had better facilities than Woodstock but still gritty cause it was so oversold

I know folks who love Bonnaroo and it’s very very organized

And expensive

I went to plenty festivals

Fair number of hippies but mostly just kids getting high and the big bands

Very very few commies and the sites did get cleaned up by contractors like most big gatherings

What made Sedaliamhard was the fair was due in two weeks so they were under the gun

Folks here with their usual scold weren’t there

Max Yasgur was a kind man as were most folks around Bethel

It was just one of those moments in time

And keep blaming hippies

Very few boomers were hippies

America was destroyed by opening the doors to too many folks who were way beyond the founding stock of the nations first 300 years

The Fabians and collectivist mindset from Eastern Europe started it and the minority influx since 1965 sealed our fate

Now we will have to shed blood...
A lot of it...to keep it or we’ll just whimper and roll over

Blaming all that on hippies is just stupid

There may have been a half million actual hippies and even fewer college radical yippies in that era...

And I was there at the end of it

The bands did not like the yippies....most bands rejected that Marxist crap

They embraced rejecting the establishment and getting high not the Weathermen or SLA

See Pete Townsend smack Abbie Hoffman at Woodstock

Were bands left leaning

Of course just like today

But left leaning then didn’t include all the crap it does now like gun control and abortion and homosexual marriage and affirmative action and climate change and transgenderism or demonizing whites especially Christian and or southern

Then it was end the war in Vietnam which no one here thought was winnable baring more political will and civil rights which fights still lingered over from the Beats and folkies

Man I wish I could truly educate people here

Lots of well meaning ignorance
