Those of us born at the end of the Boom had to deal with all the trash and chaos left strewn about the lawn by those who went before. I sure would not have minded being around before the party ended. It's time the Woodstock generation grew up! Sorry pal, I beg to differ.

While I am interested in this whole subject, I must point out a few discrepancies you may be overlooking. First, I am a few years older than Obama. In 1969 I was 12, which hardly places him at the vanguard of the hippie movement. There has been little discussion of Obama's parent(s), but his mom was apparently such a "hippie chick", so the whole Woodstock phenomenon seems like the kind of event to have been well appreciated and eulogized in that household. Look further back. This bunch are the folks sucking up Social Security and running the AARP. Hey guys.

What we were looking for in those days wasn't found at Woodstock, though many who weren't have bought the myth of the "Dawning of the Age of Aquarius," whatever that meant... We shouldn't forget that moment, but learn from it. Most of us were looking for something, even though we were "infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching." Ephesians 4:14 NIV Most of us were looking for our purpose for life. Some have found that purpose, some are still looking, and others have given up. I was there and can give witness to what John says about the “pond of unadulterated hedonism that marked those few days in August, 1969.”

I didn't know about Woodstock before (not clued in enough), but wouldn't have gone - I was busy earning a living. Never did the drugs, wasn't a wild party animal, had my kids and raised them relatively traditionally. I regard most of the noisiest blatherers of that era critically - most of them are still partying on Dad's (or the taxpayers') dime, never admitted error in any of their boneheaded actions, and seem determined to pass on the most egregious stupidities to the next generation. Not if I can help it, bozos. I am of the same age group, but not of that generation. I didn’t know about Woodstock before (not clued in enough), but wouldn’t have gone – I was busy earning a living.

Periodically throughout the year the History Channel does its shtick on Woodstock which usually spirals off into the Charles Manson story-so this Woodstock show was not a new theme for the history channel. Would it have killed the History Channel to have had a story on Thanksgiving on either the night before or the day of?
