My wife and I were discussing this subject just the other day. I think we had just seen a commercial advertising highlights from Woodstock or something. The "profound" nature of this event is lost on us. OK, it was a big concert, I got it. So are
OzzFest and
Lollapallooza. So what? We just don't get it. But then neither of us buys into the myth that it was the hippies ended the war in Vietnam, or really accomplished anything else worth noting. Maybe it is our combined cynicism but we tend to believe that it was when John and Jane Middle America got tired of the Vietnam war that it ended rather than anything a few dirty, stoned hippies managed to accomplish during their few moments of lucidity.
