Woodstock

The Woodstock Music and Art Fair made history. It was, depending on one's point of view, four days of generosity, peace, great music, liberation, and expanding consciousness, or four days of self-indulgence, noise, promiscuity, and illegal drug use. Woodstock enables thousands of middle class people to experience the communal spirit. For the first time, these young people felt empowered by their numbers. Politicians and manufaturers in the music and clothing industries took note of the potential of a growing youth market.
