When Woodstock was originally held, NONE of the musical lineup were famous or known bands.

No. Hendrix was a big deal having become more widely known earlier after Monterey in '67. The Who was of course was well known coming in...

And if the press hadn’t played up non-event, none of them would have been known or famous afterwards either.

CSNY and Santana certainly deserved their fame having participated in Woodstock.

It was only CSN at Woodstock.

“deserved their fame having participated in Woodstock. “

Point is, Woodstock is not something that should be celebrated at all.
It is akin to celebrating the anniversary of Occupy Wall Street and the huge mound of feces they left behind.
