In case you are too young, read about it here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock_Festival) BTW I wasn't there I was 14.

I'm at the tail end of the boomer generation, and still trying to wrap my head around how we got from there to here.

That would make a good subject for a book actually, how about "From Yasgur's Farm to Facebook: 40 years of social evolution" (note evolution not revolution)

If you beat me to it & use the title a nod in my direction would be nice.

How did we get from social upheaval in mainstream society to the current upheaval leading towards a more digital society?

It really is a testament to the "power of the peopl" to make things happen in analogue or digital form and I think a demonstration of democracy in action.

Radical social thought is now mainstream. Go figure.

Cheers.
