Taking Woodstock

Yes I know most critics slated this, but it isn't supposed to be about the concert, it's about the build up and (dis)organisation surrounding Woodstock.

If you want to hear the music watch the official film.

Of course it's a fictionalised account of what happened, but it does a pretty good job of showing a freer, more radical and dare I venture braver time.

Nowadays everything is so fucking corporate, sanitised, sterile.

The database society we live in ensures our every transaction is logged for eternity, our preferences recorded, our junk mail chosen appropriately.

I am technically a child of the 60's.

The first half seemed to be in black and white, the second in colour.

Of course as with every decade it had its own hells (Vietnam, racist segregation, oppression)

It also had some of the highest highs of the century in terms of creativity in music art, counter culture and anti-establishment action.

Where are they now?
