LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE TWIN TIERS... RECENT NEWS COVERAGE HAS GLAMORIZED WOODSTOCK AS A MAJOR EVENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY, SOMETHING THAT DEFINED A GENERATION, AND SOMETHING THAT AMOUNTED TO A CULTURAL PHENOMENON. WELL, I BEG TO DIFFER WITH THE MEDIA.
THE THOUSANDS OF MOSTLY YOUNG PEOPLE WHO FLOCKED TO THE WOODSTOCK MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL IN AUGUST OF 1969 WERE NOTHING MORE THAN A BUNCH OF CONFUSED, MIXED-UP KIDS WITH NO MORAL COMPASS OR DIRECTION. A BUNCH OF KIDS WHO LOOKED FOR AND FOUND A HEDONISTIC MIXTURE OF DRUGS, SEX, AND ROCK AND ROLL...WITH NO RESPONSIBILITY, NO ACCOUNTABILITY AND NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...WOODSTOCK REPRESENTS MUCH OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA AND MANY OF THOSE WHO ATTENDED THE EVENT ENDED UP LIVING A LIFE FILLED WITH ALCOHOL ABUSE, DRUG ABUSE, AND FAMILY PROBLEMS. I SUBMIT THAT WOODSTOCK WAS A CULTURAL ABOMINATION, A NATIONAL DISGRACE, AND A COLLECTIVE OBSCENITY.
WITH COMMENTARY...I'M YOUR PH.D. OF POLITICS...DR. STEPHEN HURRICANE COLEMAN THE THIRD...THAT'S MY OPINION...WHAT'S YOURS?
