Make Way For The New Woodstock Revolution!

you should maybe chill we are not talking about a fighting revolution it has to be peaceful full of music not guns

 

Yes most of the time revolution does involve guns and lots of bloodshed, but it does not have to be that way. Woodstock was a revolution in on itself and involved little bloodshed. What I do agree with you on however, is that we need to make more effort to change. We can't just say "Yeah revolution man!" just because it's cool to say something like that and not do anything about it...

We need more activism, and more movement. The government is afraid of people like us, the youth masses. Think about it, this is the same reason why the US government (Nixon) was so afraid of John Lennon. He was urging the young kids of the world to rise up and take notice of all the wrong doings and violence, and Nixon and company obviously didn't want that, so they spied on him.

I think we have all the tools to start something like that now, the only thing we are missing now is a John Lennon type figure, the charismatic celebrity with a brain and the balls to step up against the political machine...

 

has there ever been such a thing like a revolution made by music? no. not ever in history. the closest thing you could think of is the Rennosance(sp?) in europe. and that was an intellectual and art revolution. no changing govts, no peace, nothing like that. have you actually ever tried to talk to right wing conservatives about this? try and convince them? try it sometime. then you will see how impossible it is to change peoples opinions with just music. you need some substance to your words.

 

you are really a hypocrite because you are ON a hippie website and you are aganist US so why are you on this site

 

Well as the saying goes, I've seen it in someone's sig before...

"Peace cannot be imposed..."

 

Don't you dare tell me Woodstock was just a concert.

 

maybe we are, but just let go of your idealism for just a couple seconds and think about it. neo-nazis have a whole music scene specifically about being a nazi and racism and hatred. they are doing similar to what you wanna do. start a revolution. ignore the fact that they do use violence and intimidation, but their music doesnt change shit. and them playing it, doesnt influence your opinions. so why would your music influence theirs?

 

then what was it? it was a big festival with a bunch of hippies and hells angels in the audience. everyone was on acid and it rained most of the festival. oh yea, and the grateful dead said that it was one of their worst performances. it was not the start of a revolution. woodstock was in 69. the summer of love was in 67. the hippy movement was well underway. the whole woodstock thing has been romantisized so much. similar to cowboys and pirates. yea, im sure it was a kick ass place to be and all, but i bet that if you went back in time, you would be highly dissapointed. i bet the vast majority of the people went along with the hippy thing for the ride. just jumped on the bandwagon. just repeating what they had heard Tim Leary and John Lennon say. that and alot probably really cared most for the drugs.

 

Why are you on this website? This is HIPPY.COM.

 

YAY!!!!!
:agree: :agree:

 

hippy is just a stereotype. no, im not a hippy. im a person. i just share some ideals with a stereotypical hippy. just be a little realistic. otherwise youll grow up and get out of the house and have your idealistic world crash and burn when you see that no one gives a fuck about hippys. sad but true

 

As much as I like music, I think there has to be a revolution throught education. It's the only way we can reach everybody and at young age. Of course the education system we have now doesn't help, but if you wanna do something for the world, WoodstockChild, I recommend you (and I and everybody) look foward to improving the education system so that children are encouraged in their curiosity, creativity, and free thinking.

The revolution in music you seek will happen because of a revolution of ideas, and not the contrary.

Maybe, who knows, children and people might become more pacific? I'm maybe a bit naive but I used to think that people who think for himself can only make a better world.

 

how could you ever compare nazi's​

to hippies..do you claim to know what​

you are talking about?​

anyways, why does anyone who​

believes that hippie are sell-outs..​

why are you on www.hippy.com.​

I really just don't understand it.​

Dont waste your time telling us how​

wrong we are. Societies been doing far too long,​

you're wasting your time.​

There were hippies then, ​

there are hippies now- no one sold out.​

The government made everything illegal,​

they went to small towns and settled down-​

now their kids and grandchildren are gettin ready​

to do it again. -​

If you like it..great!​

If you dont..don't waste your time on this site.​

 

yeah. I'm not gonna argue with y'all.​

We have our different views, and that's okay.​

​

Here's some of the views this site was built on...​

​

"To be a hippie you must believe in peace as the way to resolve differences among peoples, ideologies and religions. The way to peace is through love and tolerance. Loving means accepting others as they are, giving them freedom to express themselves and not judging them based on appearances. This is the core of the hippie philosophy."

"..Hippies don't impose their beliefs on others. Instead, hippies seek to change the world through reason and by living what they believe. "

 

but music helps drive people to want to change the world... itgives people the motivation they need to get out there and change the world

 

sorry but ive never had music motivate me to do anything. only 2 things can motivate someone. your own desires, and fear. teh govt already motivates people trhough fear. be your own person. be motivated because you want something. not becuase John Lennon told you to want something. be original and stop quoting some dead guy. have your own damn thoughts....in the end, many of you are exactly the same as the media, tabloid junkies.....just in different clothes

 

read my words carefully before you counter them. dont skim them.
and i dont wanna leave this site. this is probably the one place where i can talk to people in my age group and actually have them care enough to continue the convorsation. majority of the people i know are more caught up in glitches for halo then for expanding their mind. seems like your the one whos being not the hippy you claim to be. trying to get me to leave so you wont have to hear my opinion...

 

This coming form a 17 year old who wasnt there... dont get me wrong im only 18, and i wasnt there either, im not saying it was great or bad im saying none of us will really know what woodstock was llike but we dont need to, we will creat our own revolution and change the world in our own way

 

amen... seriously if u dont like what being said in the posts, no one is forcing u to post here

 

exactly. our OWN changes. our OWN thoughts. our OWN heros. we dont need the heros of 40 years ago. we need current people who can do something NOW. hendrix, morrison, joplin, and lennon cant do shit from the grave. we need stuff to come from our own minds. our own inventions. our own reasons. and our own cause. lets make a name for ourselves. unless you wanna be remembered as a member of the lazy, stupid, media addicted generation who gave up all their freedoms for comfort
