Woodstock

As America approaches Woodstock's (1969) 40th anniversary, it is amusing to see how the event is viewed. My favorite line of the story "... his mother paid for..." so his lazy drug addicted butt could go party for a few more days. Thank God his mother figured out how to hold a job to pay for all of it!

My thoughts on the whole thing: gosh, thanks hippie 60's culture that led to a drug epidemic of epic proportions in this country, the break up of American society into two distinctly different camps, and the concern that the country was disintegrating by enough of people that they would vote, not once, but twice for Richard Nixon.

Thanks, hippies!
