You're conflating a number of things.
I wasn't at Woodstock. I was in military, far, far away. Didn't see it until years later.
I wasn't a hippie, but I did come back to join the anti war movement, to march in the streets, to oppose our continued presence in Vietnam, and to help bring the war to an end. I was 21 when I came home from two tours.
Woodstock was an iconic event which represented a precipice of the era. It was a bright, shining moment emblematic of change, of fighting forces that resisted change, of standing up to oppression, and of turning a tortured country away from war in a manner that has not happened since.
