a NEW CARTOON?.....
But, so did Woodstock.
even when they are geezers (a lot of them are already) this generation of idiots will still be fawning over themselves
What’s the big deal about Woodstock? It was a rock concert. So what?
A sad commentary on America’s youth in any era. I would be embarrassed to have accomplished so little and of so little worth.
Woodstock is almost 40 years old - get over it already....
“but man did this portion leave a lot of damage”
...and their little red doper diaper babies are now crying for “hope and change”. Some with children of their own.
God help us.
So it won't be focusing on the young men with capital who paid for the concert and who were extorted by Abbie Hoffman and the Black Panthers to pay $10,000 in protection money (or "else") as well as giving them booth space only to see Abbie rush the mike during the Who's set (kerrrranggg!) and attempt to steal the film crew's camera gear (which was guarded but they wanted a fight when they tried to steal the rented gear).
Also somebody burned down the "capitalist pig's" burger stand (and we were told that there was only unruly arson at the 1999 Woodstock...).
NONE of this will come out in this flashback film.
“will play Woodstock organizer Michael Lang”
Lang did NOT organize Woodstock but he’s taken credit for it ever since.
He should also be blamed for the boondoggles of Altamont and of Woodstock 1999 which he was also involved in.
I feel sorry for baby boomers because they were so profoundly confused during their coming of age years and never recovered from that.
Of course they think they are sepcial - its part of the disease that has ravaged so much of that generation. Part and parcel of the smug and absurd attitude that no previous generation ever questioned the rules of society and culture prior to their generation. And what is absurd is not that they once thought this (all generations do), but that they STILL think this (most generations wise up with age, but the drugs taken by this particular generation seem to preclude their ability to be human in this regard).

Take it from at least one baby boomer, the late 60’s and most of the 70’s were horrible times to spend one’s youth.
The “Greatest Generation” who lived through the Depression and WW2, raised a generation of pampered spoiled brats.
