when there's less than half a million people, it's less than three days long, and there's no beating sun, rain, or mud because it's being held inside a stadium or concert hall.

See, it's not just the music.

It's the whole thing taken together.




Although, yeah, I'll give you this...it must have been pretty awesome to see Queen in concert.
;)

that it's not, and never was, a competition.

There's lots of room for lots of good music.

That you see it as a competition tells me that you don't understand one of the serious lessons of the hippie movement, but that's all right - if you're lucky, Life will show it to you in a form you will be able to understand.

Enjoy........................

it never was a competition..thats the point oh elderly one..you guys are so fast to tell us no one will ever experiance anything you did..this is the point.

We all had our moments..the fact that YOU missed the point speaks to you

I was being friendly, and "child," in my world, is a term of endearment for those younger than I.

Yes, I am old, but not quite elderly, although you might disagree.

You are the OP, right?

What person or persons told you "... no one will ever experiance(sic) anything you did"? I don't see anything remotely like that in your post, so if you were addressing it to someone specific, why not address it to that person's post that said that to you?

I don't think I missed the point, but I seem to have aroused some deep anger in your, and your lashing back is quite ugly. If that's what you have to offer, than I big you adieu, and wish you well..............................

deliberately and provocatively insulting. It's tremendously patronizing and belittling, and has always been so.

it has not "always been so." In our family, it's a term of endearment.

A very affectionate, loving, term of endearment.

Some people just need to be up in arms about the smallest little thing, and that's too bad.......................

Relax. Enjoy. There are lots of concerts.

I keep hearing how the woodstock concert changed the world.

Total amount donated to charity from woodstock...zero


it was a concert..nothing more..nothing less

were there, or who were affected by it, it seemed, and still seems, to be more than that. It's goal wasn't charity, so no money was raised for any charity. It was a big, wild concert.

There have been others. It's not important. It wasn't important to you. It was important to others.

And so it goes. No reason to be pissed off. Really. It doesn't affect you in any way. You have your own stuff you think is important. That's enough. Let the old geezers like me remember their youth. It's really none of your concern. It's Saturday night. Go do something.

younger generation people will also be pissed off at how you value events from your generation.

Happens to all of us.

:hi:

wax on about any age. It meant alot to that particular group of people, like it does to anyone who identifies with a life changing moment in history. Whether or not it was the end all, be all depends upon one's perspective.

I agree though, it gets old to hear the oneupsmanship that occurs on things like this.

Look...I was born in '58..too young to really appreciate Woodstock when it happened (I was 11) ...too old to be a Gen Xer. What can I do? Just appreciate what I have.

No need to try to compete or "one up" any generation. What does that accopmlish, really?

Each generation has (or will have) it's unique moments and events that will identify that particular generation and make it unique.

I like Big Band music even though I wasn't even born when it was at it's height. And I like some stuff from now..

This hasn't been hashed to ash already in the last week? You had to bring it up yet again?

Fuck that.

In all of the hippie-bashing and hippie-defense of last week, I didn't read any statements in which people from the "woodstock generation" claimed that nobody else "ever had a good concert." :eyes:

Can you not let it go? Or if you can't, can you at least frame the debate honestly?

I just got all kinds of anger from the OP for pointing out that there's lots of room for all kind of music. And noting that the OP was being really competitive, which suggested to me that one of the lessons of the hippie movement had been lost. Alas.

Someone's got issues, and instead of being out and having fun on a Saturday night, he's sniping on a message board at people who had a great time with their lives forty years ago. I didn't see anyone telling the OP that his concerts sucked, so it's living on in him, which is kind of sad.

What does the phrase "Get a life" mean?

Give it up indeed.

I expect us all to be called "Baby-Bashers," or something like that.

Ah, well, life goes on, and it looks like Gov. Sanford is getting in real deep. Our next scandal du jour, do you think?

NOT.

For all the years hubby and I attended Sunsplash and other shows here in Jamaica or overseas, we remembered to thank the Woodstock peeps.

Sanford and Ensign in any order - they're both up S creek sis and I'm lovin' it. :popcorn:

No way that tops Lollapalooza, which keeps on producing, and has been going on since 1991...

The 2010 show has 130 bands lined up already.

:evilgrin:

:woohoo:

what it was. Just give it up...
