Woodstock Festival 1969...

While watching the Woodstock Festival from 1969, I witnessed what it was like back then versus what its like today. The people, the music, the artistic sounds; it's all changed. Some might say for the better, others say for the worst. I'm somewhere in the middle. I mean I enjoyed the variety of music that was played from Richie Havens to Jimi Hendrix to Janis Joplin to The Who as well as many others. They all seemed to have their own talents and that's what made them entertaining to audiences such as myself. The negative things I would say about the festival overall is that it was very hippie-filled, and there was a bunch of smoking. Even though I know that was the "thing-to-do" back then, I still don't approve and that's my opinion. But I must say, they did a good job of putting it together and choosing the talents regarding their situation. So overall, I believe that it was a pretty decent festival and that many of the acts we watched during class had my attention.
