I hate to tell Warren Henry that whole era was a bad trip for boomers as the govt was in the process of getting 50,000 people our age killed in a useless war in a tiny country in Asia. Woodstock was a one week distraction where we took our minds off the horror.

That may be your view.

I do not believe Americans, many Vietnamese and others died uselessly.
Not something I care to dwell on or attempt to argue.

I was there for thirty months and have visible scars to show for it.
Does that refute your position, no.
Simply a statement on my position.
