culture wars were starting to happen? Any baby boomers out there (not Gen X).
Do you think the mood in 1969, young people felt like they were finally winning some kind of cultural war against the establishment?
Young people rejecting the status quo? Standing up to the government. With the one thing impacting everyone in the US at the time the war in Vietnam?
Do you think a lot of people were thinking "we have to do things differently?"
Were there a lot of people looking for answers, looking for people that thought the same way as they did?
With the outside world thinking it was a huge disaster.
But, having the freedom to be who you were, not feeling someone was going to judge you? You could do what you want, say what you want, think what you want? And not be told what to think or how to think.
Do you think Woodstock has parallels to modern times just in a different way?
