Got to Catch Up With The News!
When the Woodstock festival was underway, the media was awash with stories about the historical event, although most of the tabloid juice was negative. In the first few days, the focus was mostly on the binge drinking and potential substance abuse allegedly rampant at the festival. This couple in the picture could not resist reading what the papers were reporting.
In a later reveal, some journalists said that they were pressured to convey the event negatively and that just goes on to show that you should not believe everything that you read in these papers!
The Highlight Of A Generation
A generation of music artists assembled on a piece of land in Woodstock‘s rural town to celebrate music with peace and love, and to this day, there has been nothing like it.
Images taken from the gathering of almost half a million people prove that there is bound to be a good time for everyone to promote a lovingly peaceful atmosphere with are good music and enthusiasm. Don’t you just wish you could relive that era to witness Jimi Hendrix and the rest of the crew in the most monumental music concert of the 20th century?
More Than Just One Version Of The Story!
US civil servants everywhere were surprised to the core by the conditions of Woodstock, especially with Bethel being named the third-largest city in New York City. But that did not stop the festival-goers from having fun as they swayed to some good old rock and roll music and spreading some positivity and peace!
Outside the festival area, however, everyone was worried about what would happen next, and even the State Governor was alarmed and declared Bethel as a disaster-prone area. Could there possibly be a better example of the phrase “two sides to every story?” Fun on one side and doomsday on the other!
There’s No Way It Wasn’t A Party
Woodstock was never actually meant to be as big as it was. The festival was to gather like-minded people who loved music to spend time in the countryside with each other, in the presence of the beats that made the ’60s so awesome.
The peace and love movement was at its peak, so there were bound to be more people invited than planned because the festival was the epitome of the national mood. Throw in a bunch of young people in the same mix with rock and roll and a celebratory atmosphere, and you’ve got yourself one of the biggest outdoor parties of all time.
