Woodstock 40th Anniversary Concert Canceled

woodstock was a big deal in the 60s. it belived in freedom and peace it didnt belive in conlling or dictating peps. woodstock was abut caring for peps and give them want they had to share for one other. like sleeping and food and cothing thats how we hav thirft stors bak then they cald it a free store evthing was free if u needed it. it was all abut carin for PEOPLE we dont hardly hav that knw days every1 is just such a hurry they dnt even stopand just stop bein slavs to this new age. my god it was only 40 yrs what happen to AMERICA DOSENT IT BELIVE IT FREEDOM MORE ? Thak U for readin this i hop it has put sum thought i yur minds.

Boy Just listen to all ya'll tearing each other up.... Somebody must NOT have learned THE lesson of what PEACE meant, and should STILL mean... BE NICE TO EACH OTHER, and throw a little LOVE in for good measure. Counter anger with love.

Just because someone doesn't agree with Woodstock or the music doesn't mean they like Rap (said on here as if it's a bad thing) People who hate on rap are just like the people here hating on Woodstock and the artists of that time. It's ignorant, just because you don't understand or see where and why it's relevant doesn't make it crap. I like rap and other genres of music as well (rock, pop, jazz, world). Just because someone likes rap doesn't mean that they dislike other music or don't know what good music is.

That's upsetting. Do you remember the music, the mud, and the masses of Woodstock? Too young to recall the summer of 1969? Either way, watch VH1's Rock Doc, Woodstock: Then and Now on Friday, August 14th at 9 pm.

budo -
Regarding your comment, "No fighting, no fussing, peace, happiness and people all got along." Then, what, nine months later the Stones play at Altamont and we're back to reality.

Renee,

One thing you forgot to mention, it was also all about helping each OTHER. Today it's pretty much all "me, me, me!".

Peace!!

Mark,

Correction: Manson, et., al., killed Sharon Tate & the others the week BEFORE Woodstock. In fact, they started their killing spree in early July that summer. Otherwise, you're completely right! Woodstock was an amazing feat and Robert V. IS a bonehead.

I was at Woodstock also. It was one of the most awesome moments a person could ever witness. Total strangers sharing what ever food they had, everybody helping each other out. I never saw one person even come close to losing their temper or get even the least bit upset with anybody else. You could never get that many people in one place together now without a riot taking place. Some total strangers gave my friend & I their motel key the first night there so we could go take a shower & sleep if we wanted to because we were muddy. They said they weren't going to use it & for us to keep it. When does something like that ever happen today? It doesn't!!! Say all you want Robert V but it was because of the "drug smoking hippies" that you have alot of the freedoms you have today. You were never drafted were you???? Had the youth of the country not protested & spoken up about what was wrong in this country & what was wrong about the war in Viet Nam you might not even be here. I also had some nice man at some garage fix my car & charged me NOTHING. He told me he'd just bill the Volkswagon dealership since I'd just had the car serviced to make the trip there. Yeah right!!!! I had driven there from Michigan & he was gonna charge the dealership in Michigan for parts & labor. He just did it out of the kindness of his heart. Maybe he had kids my age. Who knows? But those were the kinds of things happening with everybody there. It wasn't just me. My girlfriend & I had bought a bunch of food somewhere along the line before we got there. There were hungty people there because all the food was gone. So we gave all our food away to whoever was hungry the first day. We didn't worry about how we were going to eat for the next 3 days. And you know what? We didn't starve!!!! People who came along after we did brought food & just handed us food as they walked by. That's what Woodstock was all about. It wasn't just a bunch of people getting stoned & listening to music. But I have to say the music was awesome, the people of Bethel were unbelievable, & it rocked!!!!!

G.M.,

I was 12 years old at the time, how old were you? I know more about than you do, obviously. Regretably, I WASN'T there, but I've seen dozens of hours of footage from the film, and there were at least half a million first hand accounts of what went on there, and I seriously doubt that very many of them are going to have anything bad to say about it or belittle it the way you and your ilk are trying to do, very poorly, I might add.
YOU get a life, or I'll tell your mommy on you!!
