I have a feeling this will be a classic case of failing to recreate that really fun impromptu party you went to once.
Didn’t the last Woodstock break out into tribal fires?
Artists rumored to have been approached include Daft Punk, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Ariana Grande, Coldplay, Phish, The Weeknd, Elton John, Bon Jovi, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Pink, The Who, Santana, Zac Brown Band, Mumford & Sons, and The Chainsmokers (featuring Syracuse University alumnus Drew Taggart).
You can’t bottle lightning.
Maybe it’s time to let go of the 60s.
This time they will do the brown acid.
It will be a Trump bashfest.
I have a feeling it’s going to be hijacked by the left into a hate Trump rally.
I wonder how many attending will be young people, and how many will be old farts trying to relive the past.
Ya know, after reading the promo, not much chance I would ever think of going. Well, I wouldn’t even if they brought Hendrix back.
totally totally different atmosphere today- won’t be the same at all- the ‘love age’ ‘hippie age’ is gone- that is what made woodstock what it was- groovy psychedelic hippy music, protest songs, everyone high on peace- today people are hate-filled, angry, violent people who do drugs to enhance their ‘mad at the world’ antifa thuggery ideology-
Sure, there will be holdovers from the original woodstock there- but they will be outnumbered by thugs- won’t be the same feel or atmosphere at all-
I’ll bet the Gen. X’ers and Millenials get so tired of people from my generation revisiting the 60’s and 70’s.
I imagine them rolling their eyes “Here we go again!”
Sometimes, once I get started, it’s hard to come out of it.
Almost everything then had a certain style to it. Sometimes a tacky style. I recall Nehru Collars. I recall those Avocado colored refrigerators.
I recall those oil painted ‘masterpieces’ showing Dogs sitting at the table playing Poker. The Dog paintings were meant as a answer to those illustrations of the big eyed children by Margaret Keane.. I recall the Ford Pinto. Sadly, one of my first News related memories is about the drug Thalidomide. The movie “Children of the Damned’ soon followed. Some thought it was capitalizing on the hysteria.
They should just have the original performers who are still alive.
If you haven’t seen the pictures from the 1999 Woodstock, then you are delusional to think it won’t happen again. They burned about 20 trailers, trashed the place and people feared for their lives.
Thinking another Woodstock would be different is akin to liberals thinking we should do socialism/communism with the right people in charge, because the outcome will be different, right?
No.
Liberals destroy everything they touch.
From the past there will still be traffic, sanitation, and drug problems.
Add in today’s terrorism, SJW, and race problems.
As a side note, it is interesting in looking at old photos almost all the attendees appear to be white.
We also know whatever happens, it will be reported as a negative reflection on Trump.
Is this gathering sanctioned by ARRP?
