The Difference Between Woodstock 69' and Woodstock 99' Is Glaring And A Little Bit Scary

[mudwhistle]

I was looking at the films from Woodstock in 1969 the other day....and then saw on Netflix a piece on Woodstock 99' which was produced by practically the same people.
Let's face it....they were both disasters.....but for different reasons.

This was Woodstock 69'

This was Woodstock 99'

• With just three weeks until the Woodstock 50 festival, acts are dropping out and organizers have not secured a venue. This isn't the first Woodstock anniversary event that's come upon some trouble.
• The '69 festival, which was about music, peace, and love, was honored with a 30th-anniversary music festival in 1999.
• Woodstock '99 was marred with riots and violence.

The first one showed the mindset of my generation. Peace and Love.
The mindset of kids in 99' turned bad.
Today's kids are even worse.

That was then, this is now.
Oh! And don't take the brown acid!

PS: Suck it, commies!


Yeah, no Floyd Rose Or Kahler did Jimi have. Pretty good if you ask me.

Jimi was 101st Airborne, too. I had a cousin that washed out of Airborne by not rolling right and breaking his leg on the jump. Jimi did better than that..Jimi did all the things.
It's pretty serious stuff. I know.

The twenty-fifth anniversary came off pretty well.

It had the old acts, and new great acts.

Some glitches.

To me, it would never be Woodstock unless Sha-Na-Na was there.
