I'm afraid it will attract too many of the pseudo-hippies (that infest this forum) and turn into three days of drugs, debauchary, and violence.
its a festival for music...it always turns into drugs and violence. thats what happens. im only 17 and its mainly my generation that start most of it. im ashamed to say that too and it shouldn't be that way. it should be a festival where you can just kick back and enjoy the music. its just not the same anymore.
Goodstock2007 is the essence of Peace Love and Brotherhood, resonating with the Spirit of The 60s/70s.. we do not encourage the use of drugs or alcohol bc of the very reasons you speak of, but when there is a large ammount of people there will be some that see it different. Goodstock will have security on premises, on grounds, in camping area and parking area, for anyone that is causing a disturbance or causing harm they will be duck taped to a tree for the day. sh
Don't be too hard on your generation. Back in the 60s, things were different. You could get an 8-5 job at a factory and support a family. You could buy a nice house for $15,000. Gas was, like, 35 cents a gallon. Kids at school only had to worry about getting caught chewing gum in class or running in the hall or smoking cigarettes in the restroom. Things have changed, and I feel sorry for the kids growing up in the mess that we have today. But...we can change things if we work at it. It's not going to happen by itself.
Alot of my friends are heavy partyers, and are known to take a bunch of acid at a concert or something.. or take a bunch of acid and do some coke, any time its available pretty much.. But i think, as ive learned myself.. theres only a few things that can happen when you go down that road.. You either start doing crack and die, die from violence, or start using your psycedelic knowledge, slow down and build yourself up and grow in an enlightened way.. I actually feel some how my friends who are mostly partying bums, are going to some how develop very keen abundance for themselves, through it all itll grow into something harmonic to everyones individual soul. I dont know, its hard to get my point across.. But that concert does look cool, i dont think ill get all the way out there though cause i dont know any of the bands, im sure theyre good though.
Im going if I can! Dont be a downer and say it "wont be as good" or wahtever. It is what you make it! Go enjoy yourself!
Jefferson Starship is going to play at Goodstock,.. ive read that Jefferson Airplane is Jefferson Starship,... am i right? if i am, then that is awesome! ,... i really want to go there(if it's them Jefferson Airplane) but it will cost alot of money to get there all the way from here, Sweden. i might go to the festival, but im not sure... so hard to decide....
