100% fine to criticize the concert but when "Dalereed" was calling for mass murder of innocent people at the show....well he(dalereed) needed to be called out on it...and needs to be on Thorazine.
But, I have an intense dislike for socialists and Marxists based on their past track records of murdering millions of people. That includes the members and useful idiots of the loony American Left.
These are the same people who, in the 1960s and 1970s, theorized about murdering 25 million of their fellow Americans in cold blood so they might achieve their version of a socialist/Marxist utopia. You want to see REAL anger issues, look at the loony Lefties who go around justifying mass murders. (See Aurora, CO shootings, as example.)
Don’t mind nuts. I was at Woodstock from day one until Hendrix finished his last riff when almost all had left for suburbia. Whoever said this was about suburban kids drinking beer, smoking some pot and trying to get laid while listening to some good music nailed about 90% of the attendees. Of course later on after I enlisted in the Army leave time was for you guessed it, drinking beer, smoking some pot and finding women.
There was politics at Woodstock but I was a conservative then, a conservative now. And anybody trying to beat me and my friends down for attending Woodstock would have been in for a rude awakening. Woodstock was a party, not a philosophy.
Today-where the stage was at:

No kidding - a couple of sick people on that thread yesterday.
Not to mention there were probably a few thousand Viet Nam veterans at Woodstock, having a good time. I went to rock festivals back then for the music and the babes - and there were plenty of both.
Those same hippies you are defending from Woodstock were calling for the murder of US servicemen in Vietnam.
Just to keep things in perspective.
