    Influance of Woodstock '69

    Because of all the troubles now with Bush, muslims and racists, I was wondering if Woodstock '69 really have had much influance on the political or the social situation in hippie-time. What do you think? Do you have an example or something.

    Of course we have to mention festivals like and (both in Holland), which are really like an evolution of Woodstock.

    Um.

    Are you talking about what Woodstock did for the generation in 1969?

    I would think what it did for the globe was prove that a group of young people could get together, protest, and be one without violence.

  • I agree...and I think that where the world is now headed is not such a pretty place we all hope...something like woodstock should happen nowadays (and concerts like Live 8 are not like that)...something that will give people hope 'cause maybe not everybody is feeling it yet but this world is gonna destroy itself if we gonna continue this way...and I really believe that something that's gonna give us hope is gonna happen...wait and see

    And all this devotion was rushing out of me. In the crushes of heaven for a sinner like me. But the arms of the ocean delivered me.

    wild world

    do you mean woodstock influencing the people or do you actually mean the whole hippie counterculture at the time?

    and you're right. the way people are treating other people and planet earth is inevitably going to destroy us. ..i wonder whether change is going to come. i think this generation of people are way too selfish for their own good and i'm unsure when i think about if people are going to wake up and become aware of life itself or if perhaps smaller hippie communities should develop and live communal style.. because these fast food joints and the consumer lifestyle is out of control! time will tell i suppose, but we, who are aware, need to be sure we're out there triggering other people's minds and hearts to tick otherwise they are going to remain blind!

    people nowadays are spoilt and live comfortably, they are too afraid to give it up.. they need to see something big - they need to experience REAL loss so they are forced to give things a second thought!

    sending you my love :) x
