I watched VH1's Woodstock: Then and Now last night. Highly recommend, not for its artistic relevance but simply to understand what a moment Woodstock was. I learned that the reason we have Lollapoolza , Voodoo Festival, Sasquatch, and all other music festivals is because of Woodstock. No festival will ever be Woodstock again which is why that was such a unique moment in our country's history but each festival thereafter I'm positive has some remnants of Woodstock. Attendees' talked about the community feeling they had being there and I can attest to that feeling when you are at a festival. Granted everyone is not peace, love and groovyness like Woodstock but none the less you find everyone is friendly, there for a great time and shares things with you from time to time. I was turned off by the idea of festival for a long time but have since completed a major 180. I highly recommend attending one whether it be Burning Man or New Orleans Jazz Festival. I could go on and on but the points have been made: Watch Woodstock: Now and Then and look into attending your first music festival sometime in the next year. I am hoping to make Lollapoolza next year and that the line-up is as good if not better as it was this year.
