Stupid hippies.......

They didn't realize they got played.

For me, Woodstock was, and is, institutional. While in theory that generation thumbed its nose at materialism, it actually inadvertently set the stage for 21st century hyper-consumerism. At the time it seemed brave - and it was - to establish "us vs. them," the squares and the counterculture. But today, talking in terms of splits like that is naive. Don't you see, Mom and Dad? The counterculture IS the Man.
