Woodstock ‘99 on Netflix
Aug 30, 2022 06:09:27 #
I was too young for Woodstock ‘69, but knew of it, and knew the music. The premise was sound, a peaceful gathering for peace and protest during troubling times considering the war in Viet Nam and all the race riots and violence here.
The original Promoter tried to recreate the festival in ‘94, but that was a disaster. I barely remember hearing about that one as my kids were 2 and 4 so this was not in my “wheelhouse” at the time.
Well, the same Promoter tried again in ‘99 and tried to do it at a decommissioned Air Force base and it went horribly wrong. Unfortunately, the kids from those who may have been at the original Woodstock showed up and tried to “raise the bar” on stupidity and protest against what appeared to be a big money grab by the Promoters.
Definitely worth watching if you get the chance to see it on Netflix.

Good morning, John. I'm not a big tv fan except for sporting events and a few sitcoms.

No problem Leo, I watched it out of curiosity and couldn’t turn it off as it was like watching a train wreck due to greed, arrogance and shock.

Mine had holes and red clay stains that would not come out Gordon. It was a nice cabin tent too. I wasn't real happy with her 😳
