There were plenty of good people at the first Woodstock rock festival - Vietnam veterans, active duty military personnel on leave, Catholic Nuns, thousands of suburban baby boomers just wanting to hear some good live music.
Sure, there were some drugs and losers but no one was murdered, at least one baby was born, and many folks had a good time.
I was 17 at the time and sorry I missed it.
One FReeper a few years ago stated the place should have been carpet bombed, killing everyone there. Not kidding.
The sanctimonious prig who penned this arrogant screed should take a long walk off a short pier.

Yes. You are correct. Many good people were there. I was 20 and missed 3 days of my job. Boss was not happy

Is there evil in a soul that condones some drugs? Scripture has damning things to say about the evil in drug cultures. I think drug cultures probably start where there were some drugs.

That poster overreacted in the negative. You overreacted in the positive.

Woodstock was a thoroughly hedonsitic, pagan event that set up far worse, such as Altamont.

I grew up in Palo Alto at the time. I saw up close what events like that did to people.

“I was 17 at the time and sorry I missed it.”

I had just turned 17 . My friend and I hitched rides from eastern CT to the festival . I lied to my parents telling them we had a ride . We’d ordered tickets but ended up not needing them as it has become an “ open festival “ before we arrived late Friday afternoon .
