>Every generation needs a Woodstock A massively failed capitalist project that leaves behind an enormous mess?

• kempbellt 6y ago
  Yes, actually. The ability for people to make a mess on occasion, for whatever reason, is an essential freedom to be cherished and fought for. Every generation needs an act of rebellion. It's a sort of fundamental law of nature, as a right of passage in a way.

  The organizers of Woodstock knew they weren’t going to profit, and they did it anyway. They also knew that crowd control was going to be a problem; instead of hiring police, they brought in people from a commune who were used to doing crowd control for large peaceful gatherings.
