Some folks just can't bear to forget that disgusting, unbathed, unemployed, drugged-out irresponsibility. How many of the current psycho libs in congress today long to relive their misspent yutes and use legislation instead?

“Clinton skipped the Senate floor debate over the measure, leaving Schumer to fend off attacks alone.
The project’s billionaire backer, Alan Gerry, and his family donated $9,200 to Clinton’s presidential campaign and $20,000 to the Democratic campaign organization that Schumer runs.
The contributions came just days after the project was inserted in the spending bill - leading to charges that the museum, part of a larger entertainment center, was being used to fatten campaign accounts.
“It really apparently is to the benefit of a contributor,” Lott said.
When it came time to vote, Schumer couldn’t keep his band together: Five Democrats voted against him, and Republicans who hours earlier had backed another New York pork project voted against this one.
Clinton and Schumer put out a statement saying the project, which has gotten state and local funds, was good for economic development in the state.”
(Oh sure, you frauds!)
(B) Would you have liked to have been there? No I was too young
(C) Did u actually know anyone that was there? Yes, My brother & sister went.
(D) How old are you? 49
I surely wouldn't have called my sister or brother hippies. My brother did have long hair but was very clean. I did run away to Watkins Glen 1973 though to see The Dead & The Band etc. I am no hippie, wasn't then & am not now. I had a great time until I got home sigh..
$1,000 = 401K gift to everyone .. LOL.
A Ron Paul supporter, no doubt.
All three days. Had to leave during the night just before Hendrix came on. We were too tired, too dirty and just plain burned out.
Let me see - Clinton and Schumer both think they needed to spend $1,000,000.00 to honor and celebrate a 3-day 60's era drug fest for hippies conducting potentially deadly drug-induced sexual assaults. Aside from the fact that the end result left Max's farm an ecological disaster zone of trash, mud, clothing, and debris, the only positive thing to emerge from the 3-day event was some great music and the introduction of some new and outstanding rock groups.
Why all Americans need to fund a pet project in New York, or any of the pork-barrel projects the Congress tries to slip into spending bills defies explanation. The greatest insult is that this was attached to a health funding bill. Woodstock was noted for the illnesses, bad drugs and shared needles. Do we really need a museum to commemorate that?
(B) Whould you have liked to have been there? - You bet.
(C) Did u actually know anyone that was there? - No but my college g/f from upstate NY said she almost went but her parents stopped her and friends of hers did go. Close enough?
(D) How old are you? - I had my driver's license by that time.
A HISTORIC ROCK CONCERT 600,000 people strong! Held at Watkins Glen, N.Y. Saturday July 28, 1973. And it WAS LARGER than Woodstock by a couple hundred thousand people! Among those 600,000 people were... The The Grateful Dead, The Band and The Allman Brothers Band.
I doubt they will ever build anything there so you don't have to worry about anything vile going up. I would have no problem if they built something at Woodstock either as long as tax payer money doesn't have anything to do with it. Whats the big deal & why is it so vile?
Links? As I recall there were no assaults reported according to the NY State Police.
Aside from the fact that the end result left Max's farm an ecological disaster zone of trash, mud, clothing, and debris, ...
Mud? On a farm? I bet that started Global Warming!!! /s
Thank you
The real reason was that Woodstock was designated as an EPA Super-Find cleanup site, and it would have cost a fortune to decontaminate it.....
Don't count on The Who [whats left of 'em] either ... they *hated* Woodstock, the entire situation there! However, The Who always performed at their best when pissed off about something ... as this vid from Woodstock will attest:
Just because no reports were made to the NY State Police is not evidence that they didn't occur. It was atypical for young ladies of the day to report rapes due to the stigma associated with such attacks and the fact that trial lawyers typically blamed the attacks on the behavior of the victim herself.
For the hippy crowd, reporting a sexual assault to the "fuzz" would be akin to turning down the next hit of the drug du jour.
All kinds of Americans went there & if we don't have to PAY a dime of taxpayer money I really don't see why it shouldn't be built. It might bring in money where its needed. As YOU pointed out....the only positive thing to emerge from the 3-day event was some great music and the introduction of some new and outstanding rock groups.
So since the above is true why not let someone build it & people can go & see what it was like. I've been up that way & saw where it was. It might create jobs & money for those people.
