Make Way For The New Woodstock Revolution!

But what if someone doesn't like Rock n' roll? Is he automatically refused the access to the peace and love revolution?

 

yes but unfortunately it was in the sixties... now we can try to bring more possible people together with the music; maybe i got wrong about the strong of the new music scene and maybe we can succeed in this revolution...

 

yea! rock on!

 

no,he can join the PLUR ravers

 

well personally i think that an event or festival is legendary if its within you. there will be no revolution until people begin it within them selves. i think that it has begun within me, and so i am personally taking small beginning steps to get myself to where i want to be. It's all about renewing your purpose--everyday. I have to renew my purpose of spreading peace and love everyday, and i do that by watching or listening to something that renews it, or i get on here, or sometimes i might go to a festival or concert and have a really intense spiritual renewal to my purpose that helps drive it along.
So while a concert or festival may not neccessarily be a lasting event that people will always reference, i believe in the WOODSTOCK REVOLUTION. it was absolutely a revolutionary thing. It sticks with you, this memory of how the power of love not only brought together a generation through love and music, it also still fuels the hearts of generations today that were not there but remember the impact it had through a parent or uncle, or older concert goer.
The problem is within yourself. If you can choose, (and i hear from the hair thing we're big on choice ) then you can choose to be happy. you can choose to see the more simple side of the way things are. Although i believe that simple things are born of complex explainations and situations...you dig?

 

It will have to be a free concert, no doubt about that.

 

Not in our hearts man.....Not in our hearts.....
Woodstock! I support you!

 

OMFG who likes Crosby Stills and Nash??? Okay that was a little random. It's just I'm listening to them right now. Heh

 

Yeah Woodstock was a big deal, it was a coming together of those that wanted to change the world. Music was a draw, but it wasn't the main factor.

Not long after, Kent State happened and innocent students were shot and killed by other Americans (National Guard). It seemed to be the ending of the movement. Not that we totally stopped protesting the war, it was the most important thing. But we were peace loving and the fact that we could be shot by fellow Americans just seemed to drop a gray cloud over everything.

Not sure that explains anything, but it was the feeling of the times. You young'ns also have to realize we had just come through the civil rights movement and my parents had lived with segregation, I didn't have to any longer and we relished treating everyone as equals. The birth control pill had just been released, we didn't have herpes or aids or many of the things you guys have to deal with. We had new freedoms and we wanted to show the world what those new freedoms could accomplish.

You guys have the freedoms of cell phones, internet and I don't know what all (getting too old)...you have stuff to be proud of and show the world how it can be changed positively. You guys can vote at eighteen, we could be drafted at that age, but we couldn't vote until we were 21. You don't face a draft. If you're old enough do you vote? My generation fought to give you that right. You should be able to vote for the people in Washington that can ship you off to fight a war and die.

 

How long your hair is, what clothes you wear, even what music is playing isn't the important thing. It's a coming together of people that want to see the world in a particularly peaceful accepting way, where everyone is accepted and respected, where mother earth is respected and protected. Where the main interest isn't profit but a wider appreciation of the world as a whole.

 

you're so right! how are we gonna reach that? would a musicfestival be a good idea? would be a good start i guess.

 

God. I'm depressed today. I saw something on the news about how albums were dead, and this is the time for MP3s. Is it really worth it anymore, I mean, pursuing a music career? It just seems like music is slowly fading away. I guess technology strikes again, and once again we let it destroy us.

 

Dont worry, just because no one uses CD's anymore doesnt mean music is dying. Music will die. We'll die without music. Without music, we would all be dead, boring, and lifeless...

 

what are you talking about music is dying, just cause no one uses cds, doesnt mean its dead. mp3s make music last longer, no scratches or anythingyou can listen to any of 7000 songs at anytime instead of 1 of 10. just cause they diddnt have mp3s in the 60s doesnt mean they are bad. change is good. a stagnant society can not last. things hav to change.

 

I think the greater concern for music should be the sameness we seem to be experiencing with it. One band becomes a hit, music companies scramble to get someone who sounds similar or have songs that are similar. Music has lost its creativity and individuality. You have to dig for the quality bands, and wade through a ton of bad ones.

Riverstone is right - if music dies, people will die. Perhaps not literally but creatively and mentally. I don't think we really have to worry about that happening just yet.

 

Man, the music scene is what you make it...what you find. I just got back from seeing phil lesh and friends (two nights in jersey) and let me tell you, Phil may be still rocking some awesome dead tunes, but he's also keeping everything fresh and alive. He had some new stuff, he had some old stuff. Man the sound was magical.
There is just something about experiencing music and community in that way. When you hear those rhythms and that sound and you are just overtaken--swept away. There is no one who could ever convince me that music can die. That is the human spirit. Even if i never got to hear another live concert again, i have the memory-- i have the voice. Like Phish said, "Nothing i see can be taken from me" and its true. Everything i have is within me.

Is IT in you...

 

But think... Vinyl records had so much sentimental value, just to own the album. The cover art, etc. I feel cheated when I use MP3s. It's just not the same. I'm on a damn nostalgia trip. I just want it to be the same as it used to be. I can't stand it.

 

heart beats.

circulating my existence
my motion
all my senses tap it out
in a group
we tap and move
and dance
to our own music.

music can't die.
the music insdustry died a long time ago.
now it's a sexy zombie that pukes lies
and false-intent.

What happened in the 60s will never happen again.

Do something different.

Look inside yourself, and work together
and progress through your own existence
constantly learning,
we all have a place
in this strange, strange world.

Shamans consist of 3% of the worlds population.
(weird, huh?)

Mp3's are amazing.

It's as if all the music ever created can now be shared
converted from analog into digital
Freely,
with clicks of buttons
we can hear what was once heard,
what will be heard,
and what is.

Without the internet and mp3's I wouldn't know 1/4 of the things I know about music.
We are speeding up our evolution,
It's amazing.

Try some psychedelics, You'll see.

"It'll all make sense to you"

Somehow.

Understand music,
and you will understand life.

 

you say it exactly right and i kinda agree with you. it is really cool to put on some old record and the sound is much warmer than digitally recorded music somehow. but i´m happy with all the stuff the internet and mp3 brought us. today everyone can put his stuff on the internet and have a chance to reach an audience. that´s how the arctic monkeys broke through. offcourse you still don't have a big chance to get a big audience behind your back, but as an underground artist you have perfect tools to survive. i dig it, it fits into my ideals about being independent en self-sufficient.

 

I will refuse to let iPod make my music into their mp3s. I can't control what people do without my permission, but they will not be doing that to my music. I will make albums.
