So what are my thoughts on the HBO's Woodstock '99 documentary?
One thing I got from it was a better understanding for my and many other people's emotions in regards to the time period and the event of woodstock 69.
It seems like an awesome thing to have experienced and that this period of time must have been a wonderful place to live in, but the problem with that is that people of that generation has been telling new generations this and that they'll never be able to experience something like that for themselves. What happens when you take away the hope for amazing things to happen from people and telling them that they're the embers of a fire that just went out? A fear of already having missed out is manifested and rage builds up. That's why the woodstock 99' turned into such a shit-show, because everyone there already felt like the party had packed up and left; but they had just arrived, and someone sold this to them for 200 bucks.
The documentary was interesting, but mostly because of all the footage of the festival and explanation of it. There was an overshadowing anti-male and unwarranted woke agenda throughout the documentary, but as long as you're the type of person who can spot politics and ignore it, it's an interesting documentary.
