Too bad that people believe film footage is representative of the '60s. There was a real world and real world problems. The world did not stop for Woodstock, which became iconic only after the movie of the event was released. Never was 400,000 in attendance at any 1 time, more like 80-100,000 at any one time. You really believe all anyone did was chant, smoke and make music in the 60's? DUH! Actually, they did not oppose the war per se; they opposed the draft. Youve been had by a movie, kiddies
To the people who say : that we (the kids who wish they could of lived during the 60's) should to make the best out of our generation, you gotta consider a few things man.
First of all, i can tell you more than anything i wish i lived in the 60's. I would give up everything. You say lets all get together and make a change? Go back to the state of mind 30 years ago? People nowadays dont have that state of mind. Some people may say they do, and only a few select mean it. Life was better back then.
young people now are robots.if mtv or some shitty rapper from the shit hole getto wears his pants under his fat ass and the kardashians fuck them on film then its cool.ray j is such a fuckin bitch its sickning.but hes cool.hendrix was cool.janis was cool.the talent is gone too.hendrix wouldnt even have smoked a joint with ray j.janis would have told kim kardashian to go fuck herself or that little black kid take your pick ya trick ass bitch.
When people say they wish to be born during this time, they mean that they were born in this era of innocence, enthousiastic exploration, and child like enjoyment of life vs what's going on today.
When in this generation was the last time we all united and protested against war? Or the last time we all got together and danced naked in a pond? Or the last time it was cool to paint your SUV in bright colors? When was the last time we were not all freaked out by STD's? You guessed it...never.
Woodstock wasn't even in the town of Woodstock. The sane people in Woodstock didn't want a bunch of smelly, stoned, venereal disease ridden, lazy, begging hippies anywhere near them. The town council made outdoor toilets illegal to scare off the little darlings.
my generation is now, and i have to say, as much as i wish i grew up in the 60's and 70's (it really would be remarkable) i am happy to be young right now. i honestly have a deep respect and interest in life and music back then. i find myself looking at new music and being interested in it for about a week or a month, then i always go back to the oldies.
im 11 and i wanted to know what you do at woodstock anyway, because by the look of it there isnt going to be one anytime soon, like that anyway, please reply
I gravely dislike the counter culture, its composed of a bunch of little pussy wimps who didnt want to fight for uncle sam and then after that didnt want to work.
@TheA340guy Better lives than mine?Hardly,I would rather be working in a factory assembling weaponry than I would held up with a bunch of morons who are droping acid and injecting LSD, If you enjoy that kinda thing then why not just shoot your youreself so tax dollars dont go towards youre paycheck.
@NGUdOlLoFf I dont care about how the drug is taken, And military nuts? Hmmmm, Thats funny i feel that being that way makes us the most powerful country in the world! And I remember the saying freedom isnt free, But I couldnt get a bleeding heart numbskull such as youreself to understand.
@BobCrane787 alright faggot all i said was that simple statement, i love the military and have many family and friends in it when in that statement did i state anything that would make me a "bleeding heart numb skull" so shut the fuck up you faggot and read before you judge people, if you are the true "American" you say you are then you would understand that that is why amerca is so great because of the simple fact people can be who they want so DO NOT call me shit like again.
@BobCrane787 And I don't bloody blame them. Go and fight a war that could not be won? And was'nt, with a hell of a waste of young lives. And those lucky enough to return, got sod all. Am not picking on the US, we are just as bad. (UK)
@MOSESCAT69 Well thats thanks to running the war from washington, we never lost a battle in vietnam its just we didnt hang back on captured ground and defend it.Its the Militaries job to run the Millatary not a politicians job.
@BobCrane787 I appreciate your comments, I also acknowledge that I should know more about the Vietnam war before commenting, here in the Uk, we have never touched that war, in schools etc, I presume because it did'nt affect us, having said that, my schooling never touched the two world wars that both the UK and US fought. Thatnkyou for enlightening me. x

all ihave to say about woodstock is sure it was great it was a great thing but as far as i can tell there were only a few thousand really smart people there ......why do i say this you wonder ????watch the jimi hendrix footage at wood stock all the idiots had left only a few thousand peeps stayed for jimi the smart ones.. i mean how could you go to woodstock and not stay for jimi hendrix
Oh dears, I'm watching it and I wish to do it now. Somewhere in nice place of the world just - peace&love&music! What are u thinking? I know there are a lot of people whose like it. So maybe we should do it?
@someman7 I'm not citing the concert as true peace. i'm citing that half a million people gathered peacefully. They didn't harm each other or display any form of angst or hatred, even in those hard times. That concert was a shining beacon of hope within a troubled nation. America was off balance in 1969, and that concert proved something to the world.
i notice a lot of kids saying they wish they could be born during the 60's or the flower power era...damnit why dont you just be who you wanna be and make this era the coolest fucking one yet...live for today...and love everyone
@420andsuch That would be awesome but there are only so many of us young people who appreciate what was had back then, most of today's youth are fucking dipshits who listen to lil wayne and gobble up this anti-drug bullshit, and are too pussy to ever be as hard-core as they claim to be.
@420andsuch - Amen my young brother - the Stock was meant to happen - it was a prototype for a society that has yet to be discovered - I was born in the 60's (1964) and I wish that I was old enough to be there - but I was not - Try to love one another in today's times - that's the lesson they were trying to perpetuate - I love you little brother...
@420andsuch yea those were the days man. 2 cent sales tax,6 percent federal 2 cent state tax. shit i had more money back then. kids now days are just slaves.
@420andsuch yeah... these kids often get attracted to the drugs part, which I think is ok... except they don't really think of anything else. they get obsessed with the drugs and the "peace and love"
Peace has become a fashion statement more than anything else :I
oh men im 14 and stock in the 2000's i wish i was born on the 50s so i could enjoy the 60s an the 70s best decades ever. I always think that i was born in the 50s because i love the 50s 60s and 70s music
@benomite1 yeah, that would be cool. i am 16. it would be sooooooooo better for me that i was born in mid 50s early 60s (like my parents) and all my childhood and teen age i could enjoy good music, without anyone saying ''it's old''. hendrix, sabbath, aerosmith, kiss...
@misteraxl1 go to the festivals now...like wakarusa and sasqautch...there also fucking beautiful...plus you can get free lsd and shrooms and shit haha but you might have to buy so it would of course be stupid to go without money lol
was 13 and wondering what my life would turn out like. Turned out like my future husband was in vietnam kicking, screaming and surviving. I had a hunch that once there, nobody wanted to be there, but as a Brit, [and 13] I, us and we couldn't stop it. Strange days, strange ways - here we all go again.
i'm 14 years old, and honestly, i don't think that today's people could all gather like these people did. Never again will there be a woodstock quite like this one!
@omgaubreysasinger I think it is amazing that at your age, you can actually understand that. I don't mean that disrespectfully, I am just saying that at your age you really have to have insight and a good head on your shoulders to see today and yesterday clear. It had it's problems back then, but for the most part, I agree with you - I doubt it can happen again.It wasn't just woodstock, for the most part most shared what they had. It was a oneness that probably cannot happen again.
Hippee's were cool...But don't forget the 60's also had their share of Greasers Dupers, Colegents & Yippees....Who made the Skinheads look like Disney....Lets no forget about the Black Panthers...Riots were all over Chicago...I was a kid but still remember those days...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@teleroylichtenstein HEY!!!.......Hippy peace of trash why dont you come to my house and ill fucking curb stomp ur fucking head in...........MILITARY=FREEDOM.........YOU FAGGOT PIEACE LOVING SON OF A BITCH
let me explain.....my wife and i were hippies back in the day.....bra-less,maxie dresses,substance,love beads....you get the point.....we weren't wannabes....we lived it man....WE BOTH HAD JOBS.....the reason the movement failed is....too many hippies living off the working hippies and we got tired of being used....for a place to stay...money,food...whatever else....and there always was a whatever else....most hippies were lazy...users,and time ran out for them.....now we are capitalists,HAPPYER
fabiennerzz.....hey hippy....thanks for the spelling correction.....however i bet mine is bigger than yours....ie....i have more things than you,i can buy whatever i want,when ever i want......being at the bottom of the food chain,you will never have anything,trust me....loser.....and when someone from new york calls you a loser....you are one.........but if you are happy being content in that state....more power to you.............but you will never ''get''it...........''right on bro!!''.....
@paulgabe11 I never said I was a HIPPIE. (hippy is incorrect) Just because you happen to live in New York and be a Capitalist, doesn't make you the top of the food chain. And who are you to tell me, I will never have anything. I can tell you one thing I have you don't right off the bat... Intelligence.
@paulgabe11 And when someone from New York calls you a loser, it doesn't mean you are one, it means the idiot from New York has nothing else better to do than insult other beneath a video about a historical event. How old are you? 59? 60? Listen, if you're old enough to have gone to Woodstock, then you're old enough to know better then to ATTEMPT to insult others. And are you done with your excessive amounts of periods?
fabiennerzz....never said i went to woodstock.the movement survived for years after the event....and there are still those types of people around today.one of my homes is in a ski area close to woodstock.we go there for dinner once and awhile and laugh at the modern day freaks!!remember, i lived the scene back in the day.doesn't work for me now!!however i will up-grade you to a spelling teacher,which you are good at it. my excuse is that i type too fast and don't proof read.done with you!
@paulgabe11 first off, you were no hippy just someone going along with whatever scene was popular back in the day, you and your capitalist whore wife can fuck off. As far as living in New York goes, i could give a fuck where you live, when you call someone a loser you're just a douche who managed to scrape together enough change that you think your pathetic existence has more value then someone else's. You see money as the root of happiness? then you my friend are unintelligent.
@paulgabe11 It's quite obvious that you didn't went to woodstock OR understood the hippie movement. Money didn't have value to them, all about peace, love and music! It's a damn shame people (like you) can only think about money these days.
frankkkkkoow....are you capable of reading and understanding what you just read...or is it not possible for you to multi-task.....in my postings.....that's exactly my point!they were lazy and takers from the hippies(like myself and wife)who WORKED,and TIRED of always giving to these moochers,and takers!!thats why the movement failed...hippies like us who worked !!got tired of giving to these ass-holes...trust me,that's how it went down....understand before you speak....you'll be better informed
@paulgabe11 English is not my native language, so don't try to be the arrogant capitalist from New York. Try to manage your scentences better, it's hard to follow you. My point is that your experience with hippies is only personal, you could have just told them that you were going to stop with giving them shelter, food etc. Maybe they didn't work because the benefit of working didn't had value to them (like buying fancy stuff). They weren't interested in being wealthy, but only in peace&love.
frankkkkkoow...i don't judge you for being lazy,so don't judge me for being arrogant....i am trying to make sense of your posting as i trade stocks over here....nevertheless,that's precisely my point....when we(the hippies who worked)got tired of always giving and being taken advantage of...we DID tell those lazy hippie f.ckers to get lost..with no further help to support their life style...the movement collapsed.when you get home tonite from the welfare line,look in the mirror at a stupid man!
@paulgabe11 i'm still in pre-university college, so my future perspectives are quite good, no welfare needed. Some find happyness in love and in doing what they want to do, others find happyness in earning money. Not all people on wellfare are stupid, some choose to live that way, because money can't buy the most important thing in life: Love!
That is just my opinion, and i think i will never agree with you. but that's okay, diversety is a good thing. i'm done here, greets from Amsterdam.
frankkkkoow...perhaps in holland welfare is common as in america....but do you know where the money comes from to pay these'' free-love'' users of society...these'' free-loaders.''...well it comes from hard-working people who pay taxes....when you get a job after college and pay taxes...perhaps you will get it.......i'm done here too...bye to you!!
Ok. This is for 80 years and older. What would you say today, you would rather see? Hippies or the skin headed thugs running around killing anyone and everyone. I know back in the 60s and early 70s there was a "code among thieves" if you will, that you did not hurt or hassle elderly or children. Thugs dont care. They victimize all. So? Which one would you rather have today? Hippies or thugs?
@tigapatriot No...not just like Charles Manson. You are taking one sociopath and comparing an entire generation to him. What I mean to say is, when I watch the news now, every week an elderly woman is attacked in a home invasion by 20-30 year old chicken *&^% punks, and robbed. Back then, FOR THE MOST PART, you did not hear of such. and as far as below goes, yes - a thief is a thief and there were thieves back then as now. But we did not rip off our brothers or sisters or elderly.
tomythec..........what are you talking about?first of all,a thieve is a thieve,is a thieve...second,skin-heads do not kill anyone and everyone.where are you getting your facts from....you are sadly misinformed...you will sound more intelli.if you can back up your statements with the facts....
Well said, thanks for that, I think the Hippie movement was created to change the world and make it a better place, for a while I reckon it was working, even though it failed in the end it was their good intentions that I have the utmost admiration for, there's never been another movement that has tried so hard to bring this about before or since, do we want it back to try again??...yes please.
@tomythec Skinheads are not the thugs you make them out to be. Being a skinhead and being bald are two different things. You're such a petty and ignorant fool.
@GalacticGuardian skinheads are racist fucking idiot thugs..thats what people call racist ignorant dumb assholes...when someone refers to someone as a skinhead they arent just calling them bald
@420andsuch Not all skinheads are racist. The original skinhead scene from back in 68-69 was made up of white and black kids who listened to soul and reggae. Fuck you're just another ignorant prick who doesnt know anything other than what the TV tells him. Pathetic cunt.
Skinhead is a subculture and way of life. Bald is a fashion.
Fuck off and stop spreading falsehoods about skinheads, you old hippy twat.
@GalacticGuardian skinheads are fucking racist you dumbass they may have started in britian during a time of racial unity in the 60's but they are now since the 70's neo nazi racist fucks i wouldnt go around associating myself with the word skinhead
@420andsuch Your ignorance might get your head kicked in by a black skinhead one day. Could happen. Any day. Good luck, you little faggot from Montgomery.
@420andsuch There are skinheads in many places, such as Japan, Malaysia, Iran, China, Brazil, Mexico etc. There's plenty of black skinheads, too. One of the biggest skinhead bands in America has blacks in it, The Templars. Also, google "skinhead regaee" you half-wit moron.
@tigapatriot - really- because the hippies are the ones who aren't afraid to risk their lives for peace, and are fearless of living without greed or worries, and of what others think of them... they're the pussies?
hippies don't risk shit they live in a fantasy world. if anything hippies create drug abuse sexual disease and murdering of innocent babies(abortion) so yes they are pussies
People @ Three Secs in on the video ... thats the Great PHIL OCHS!!!!!!!!!!! for those that don't know this guy check his singing up on Youtube!!!! He is The MAN!!!!!!!!
you hate hippies because you're white trash, you hate hippies because you listen to your political leaders, just because they have minds and poetic souls doesn't give you reason to hate them
folkrockm14 I dont like hippies who get welfare now, because they did shit nothing before, And do actually write a response to me instead of a sneaky way the way you did. And it has nothing to do with soul or poems
you obviously follow the rules of life and since your one of the typical's that when you were a young kid and was not a hippie or your currently a useless young kid not doing shit about anything. And the hippies did do alot for us. one of them was stopping the useless vietnam war. go and be your typical republican self white trash
folkrockm14 Now which part of your mind decided to tell you that I am 1) Republican 2) White trash? If anything hippies fit the bill perfectly. And I dont care what they did, if they sit on welfare they are useless. So kid, maybe when grow up, you will understand something, but for now, try to keep insults to yourself, and talk about a subject matter. Oh btw, it was not just hippies who stopped Vietnam war There were many others involved
im not a kid, this is my sons account and im 63 years old. Any one who protested the vietnam war then they were part of the counterculture movement.and you are republican and white trash, i can just tell you that without even knowing what you look like. i am a hippie and old fasioned. im not a rastarian faggot poser.Yeah how old are you man? everybody lives on a little bit of welfare so keep your fuckin mouth shut or i'll fullful charles mansons wishes and slit your throat
TheBradleymoore Yes they are hurting me, so why dont you adopt one, and pay for him you dumbass. I told you, my problem with them is welfare state, and most of them are on welfare. So how about you go to hell, and take responsibility for your actions if you are one of those welfare hippies.
BTW: if this was represenative of the culture, where are the people of color in the crowd?

@omgaubreysasinger I think it is amazing that at your age, you can actually understand that. I don't mean that disrespectfully, I am just saying that at your age you really have to have insight and a good head on your shoulders to see today and yesterday clear. It had it's problems back then, but for the most part, I agree with you - I doubt it can happen again.It wasn't just woodstock, for the most part most shared what they had. It was a oneness that probably cannot happen again.

@paulgabe11 I never said I was a HIPPIE. (hippy is incorrect) Just because you happen to live in New York and be a Capitalist, doesn't make you the top of the food chain. And who are you to tell me, I will never have anything. I can tell you one thing I have you don't right off the bat... Intelligence.

@paulgabe11 And when someone from New York calls you a loser, it doesn't mean you are one, it means the idiot from New York has nothing else better to do than insult other beneath a video about a historical event. How old are you? 59? 60? Listen, if you're old enough to have gone to Woodstock, then you're old enough to know better then to ATTEMPT to insult others. And are you done with your excessive amounts of periods?

fabiennerzz....never said i went to woodstock.the movement survived for years after the event....and there are still those types of people around today.one of my homes is in a ski area close to woodstock.we go there for dinner once and awhile and laugh at the modern day freaks!!remember, i lived the scene back in the day.doesn't work for me now!!however i will up-grade you to a spelling teacher,which you are good at it. my excuse is that i type too fast and don't proof read.done with you!

@paulgabe11 first off, you were no hippy just someone going along with whatever scene was popular back in the day, you and your capitalist whore wife can fuck off. As far as living in New York goes, i could give a fuck where you live, when you call someone a loser you're just a douche who managed to scrape together enough change that you think your pathetic existence has more value then someone else's. You see money as the root of happiness? then you my friend are unintelligent.

paulgabe11 2 years ago
@paulgabe11 English is not my native language, so don't try to be the arrogant capitalist from New York. Try to manage your scentences better, it's hard to follow you. My point is that your experience with hippies is only personal, you could have just told them that you were going to stop with giving them shelter, food etc. Maybe they didn't work because the benefit of working didn't had value to them (like buying fancy stuff). They weren't interested in being wealthy, but only in peace&love.
Frankkkkkoow 2 years ago
frankkkkkoow...i don't judge you for being lazy,so don't judge me for being arrogant....i am trying to make sense of your posting as i trade stocks over here....nevertheless,that's precisely my point....when we(the hippies who worked)got tired of always giving and being taken advantage of...we DID tell those lazy hippie f.ckers to get lost..with no further help to support their life style...the movement collapsed.when you get home tonite from the welfare line,look in the mirror at a stupid man!
paulgabe11 2 years ago
@paulgabe11 i'm still in pre-university college, so my future perspectives are quite good, no welfare needed. Some find happyness in love and in doing what they want to do, others find happyness in earning money. Not all people on wellfare are stupid, some choose to live that way, because money can't buy the most important thing in life: Love!
That is just my opinion, and i think i will never agree with you. but that's okay, diversety is a good thing. i'm done here, greets from Amsterdam.

Ok. This is for 80 years and older. What would you say today, you would rather see? Hippies or the skin headed thugs running around killing anyone and everyone. I know back in the 60s and early 70s there was a "code among thieves" if you will, that you did not hurt or hassle elderly or children. Thugs dont care. They victimize all. So? Which one would you rather have today? Hippies or thugs?

@tigapatriot No...not just like Charles Manson. You are taking one sociopath and comparing an entire generation to him. What I mean to say is, when I watch the news now, every week an elderly woman is attacked in a home invasion by 20-30 year old chicken *&^% punks, and robbed. Back then, FOR THE MOST PART, you did not hear of such. and as far as below goes, yes - a thief is a thief and there were thieves back then as now. But we did not rip off our brothers or sisters or elderly.

@tomythec
Well said, thanks for that, I think the Hippie movement was created to change the world and make it a better place, for a while I reckon it was working, even though it failed in the end it was their good intentions that I have the utmost admiration for, there's never been another movement that has tried so hard to bring this about before or since, do we want it back to try again??...yes please.

you obviously follow the rules of life and since your one of the typical's that when you were a young kid and was not a hippie or your currently a useless young kid not doing shit about anything.

folkrockm14 Now which part of your mind decided to tell you that I am 1) Republican 2) White trash? If anything hippies fit the bill perfectly. And I dont care what they did, if they sit on welfare they are useless. So kid, maybe when grow up, you will understand something, but for now, try to keep insults to yourself, and talk about a subject matter. Oh btw, it was not just hippies who stopped Vietnam war There were many others involved
