a generation-defining touchstone,
More than one person has put a reference to their presence at Woodstock on their tombstone, which, when I see it always makes me a little sad. Was it really THAT much of a big deal?
I'd say so.
Yes, but it would be the 3+ hour long documentary film that came out the following year and that would be replayed endlessly on PBS stations that really turned it into the significant cultural event it would become.
