Woodstock was organized???
A Chinese fire drill is organized.
Hmmm... the organizer was 26 years old at the time.
Well, at 26 I was married and had been a small unit commander in the Army for three years. (unusual, small, specialized scientific unit).
The most notable thing about it was the size of the crowd. I guess somewhat of a record for the time. It was later broken by other festivals. I was too young to ever contemplate attending. I did attend some festivals about a decade later. All day long music while great in some ways becomes an endurance contest at some point.
Yes, and Wavy Gravy ran security. Seriously.
It was organized. Then people started sneaking in by the 10s of thousands. No level of organization can deal with that. It was just supposed to be a regular music and arts festival, they were happening all the time then. And then all the hippies in 2 time zones showed up. No one’s really sure why. It just caught the crowd.
