Make Way For The New Woodstock Revolution!

Hey man, what you said there really sank in deep! I am a 15 year old female (as you are too) and I love that you think that way man! That gave me such a feeling of hope! That we can change the world! I'm totally new to this fab website and I never knew anyone my age that thinks that way also! All I'm saying is that you've got my total support and help! Woot!

 

Just curious -
Will we see any updates as to how this revolution is going?


I'm curious because if this happens, I might be close enough to check it out.

 

Rad!

 

John Lennon was an activist, if you guys just want to play at it grow up.

 

What are you tellin'?

 

hey, we can freakin do it don't doubt help or stand back

 

i'm all for it..We need a revolution right now and it has to be a peaceful one..if not, the world is doomed.

 

Yes. If we keep on as we are now, with people getting more and more materialistic and slaves to technology, we need a sixties-like revolution. It's inevitable.

 

on bealf of all progressive punks i wish to represent a cross culture of punk and hippie in this mission with the message of peace, charity, and chillaxness!

seriously i think we could organize something in a few years, and there is no reason it cant start right here. first we must choose our location and talk to the officials with a set plan and get bands to sign up and let it grow from there. this is a wonderfull idea dont forget and someday we may move an entire culture

 

Yes we can. And if there is a musical revival, we can have Woodstock. Only if we are ready though. That sort of phenomenon only works with people of a certain mindset and spirit.

 

Can I make a suggestion?


I suggest you move on from the past. The sixties are done and over with, this is the 2000's. You aren't going to get the same reaction or results as the first Woodstock. Look at the last two that came - disasters. The beauty of the original Woodstock was the fact that it wasn't expected to have the cultural impact that it did.

This isn't meant as a downer for your parade, but just a reality check. The atmosphere is different and unless you plan to adjust for that - it's gonna fall flat.

 

You're absolutely right... after all, it really doesn't matter if we don't have the long hair, tye dye and rock n' roll... as long as it's about peace and love.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have it, I LOVE long hair and rock, but this revolution shouldn't be about style.

It should be ONLY about peace, love and anti-materialism. Otherwise, you'll neglect a whole group of people...
I don't know if you get what I mean. What I'm saying is, for example, being a short-hair and hating long-hair is as bad as being a long-hair and hating the short-hair...

We'll keep the long hair and the rock n' roll... but It shouldn't be a criteria of the hippie. Acceptance of differences should be.

 

You guys make it sound like your planning a birthday party with clowns, balloons, and crepe paper. That's not what WoodStock was. It was the final gathering of a generation. You guys don't have the background to do anything right now but throw a wantabe type thing. What have you stood up for? What lines have you crossed? Time to become something before you plan a gathering, there's no one to gather at this point. You all have your own agendas. Unless you just plan to gather people for the music and fun. In which case it's not even going to come close. Is it a party you are after? you can all do that closer to home. Of course you could all text message each other.

 

I think that it's a nice idea, but that there is no use in doing something that already happened. If you want to CHANGE the world, you must bring something different to the world. The reason why there was such an uproar and a summer of love, and woodstock and all that stuff that is looked back on as great, is because it was different and it SHOOK everyone.

 

Um. Did you think what I said was an attack on hippies in general?
I never even brought up the aspect of what it means to be a hippie.

I just meant that you guys need to be careful that you aren't trying to re-create the original Woodstock. Have the revolution, but honestly? I don't think music is as revolutionary as it once was. Music is canned, it is just there to make money - not like it used to be. It had a purpose back then, a true purpose.

Music can be a part of this revolution, but I would say only as a side thing. Perhaps speakers, a rally or sorts. Something else. I dunno, something that would appeal to today's people. Like you said, on a mass scale.

 

Woodstock Child, i'm with you for change the world; Shambhala Peace, i agree with you because unfortunately the music haven't the same strong than the sixties, but is the strong part for a revolution.

 

I disagree on one point. It's definitely about rock 'n roll. No question. It's rock 'n roll that brings people together. Woodstock wouldn't have been Woodstofck without the rock 'n roll.

 

The last two Woodstocks would disagree with you. They were supposed to be about the rock and roll, and they turned out to be about the money.

 

woodstock was part of a revolution which had it's height a while ago ('66/'67), but a revolution isn't the same as a pop festival. if you only have a festival it wouldn't change anything, you need a whole revolution. have you ever been to a festival? the ones i've been to were fantastic and magical to me sometimes and they didn't turn out to be legendary.
it sounds like planning some kinda birthday party indeed

i suggest some people go crack a house or something and discover what it's like to live outside mainstream culture first, i'm in

 

unless you simply like short hair, it's not about the style someone should choose, it's about the freedom to choose your style. we already have that right? the only problem are the people who don't understand that and look down on the long-haired

BTW gardener said we have to protect the freedom of the web, right? well, it's endangered already, anyone at the frontlines yet?

hey gardener, if you're still around, did woodstock have such an influence on everyone? at least it had on the people overhere, but outside of this forum i can't feel any precense of it anymore.
