woodstock lineup revealed
- Thread starter PSU Dave
- Start date
I think a lot has to do with Teenage Angst. For me, it was struggling to understand and control emotions. It was the discovery of my feelings of love for women. It consoled me when many didn't love me back or the hurt I experienced when one loved me but I didn't reciprocate. There was also a lot of confusion about how the world worked, hypocrisy and responsibilities.
Those things have changed for me. I often wonder why old people don't seem to be able to write good songs. Maybe my lack of youthful exuberance has simply caused me to quit caring and listening. I simply cannot take watching old groups like the stones or who jump around like they were smitten teen agers but take great delight in watching their films from the 70's.
Well that sucks. Old men can still boogie. And smoke pot, too.
Do yourself a favor & go see Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters .
Speaking as someone who has written songs, in my opinion, the reason is that it is difficult to produce new musical ideas. It's not that there is limited musical potential in every person, but the new ideas get less and less. It's hard for me to write a song now that doesn't similar to a song I wrote when I was younger.
I think it's part of why bands constantly change their sound. It makes it a little easier to create new songs.
I got an email today from the organizers that the "financial partner" doesn't own the brand, so they cannot cancel the event. So it sounds like he wants to either try to legally enforce their agreements, or else find another financial partner, and try to move forward. Maybe they should call it Fyre Festival 2 at this point?
Interesting. Sounds like Lang is celebrating the 50th anniversary by repeating the same blunders that almost killed the original 1969 festival. Botched permits and alienating the money. 1969 was much closer to not happening than most people realize.
Interesting. TMZ is reporting that Watkins Glen limited the land available for concert goers so that other land could be used for camping accommodations in line with the multi-day woodstock theme. With the reduced acreage for ticket holders, they had to lower ticket sales from 150,000 to 75,000. When all is said and done, the event is a money loser if they don't get north of 100,000. So the financial partners pulled out. No itchy no scratchy.
This lineup looks no different than the Bunbury Festival that I attend every year in Cincy. Hilarious. I thought Woody was going to be something special.

So between the Fyre Festival debacle and now Woodstock 50 being cancelled, what is up with these mega concerts. I guess with social media that anybody can claim to be throwing a huge concert with names out there and then hope somehow somebody gives them money to host it.
What’s odd is that you provide reasons having nothing to do with the quality of the music, but your comments solely impune the quality nonetheless.
Bethel Woods still has three days of activities scheduled (oh, by the way, the original site). August 16-18. We are going Sat 8/17 for Doobie Bros. & Santana. Early entry each day with exhibits, food vendors, etc. The museum is a cool visit too.
