Woodstock wasn’t even the first music festival

Like everything else from the 60s that people won’t shut up about, it was already being done way better by communist theater queerdos in the 40s and 50s

Do you have any actual evidence for this or

folk and jazz festivals were a thing for a while pre-Woodstock, and there was a lot of crossover between that scene and the predecessors to happenings, gatherings, etc that liberal arts colleges and art collectives and communes were hosting since the early 20th century—it’s where dudes like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger built their careers and where dudes like Bob Dylan cut their teeth before becoming mainstream superstars

do you think the boomers invented poo poo like druggy art parties or free love or getting a bunch of druggy free love enthusiasts to go listen to music in a field?

This having been the case does not make Woodstock any less significant.

Nor have I ever heard anyone claim that Woodstock was "first."

Map Quest was for people in countries with sane grid systems and not a country with twisting country roads where the boomers (even when in their 40s) refused to use the real name of a location, and instead preferd to use the old one they were taught when they were 5. Kids these days should treasure their googles and their Internets just for the ease of navigation.

"Is this the right way to Settling upon Twine?" "Aye sure, go left at the old barn* and carry on till you see the dog and duck**"


*Barn demolished in 1973 and now a spar
** Dog and duck renamed in 1957 to The farmer's boots

People were complaining about directions like this in the late 1700s; it has fuckall to do with the baby boom generation.

Surprisingly it also has its own YouTube channel, too. That ad is absolutely embedded in my memories.
