1. It was a Roman Candle Moment followed by a mass sell-out

It was a picture of what could have been, maybe what should have been, and the minute it kicked into high gear, the Abbie Hoffmans and Jerry Rubins of the world scrambled around to see how to make the biggest buck for their bang. Woodstock morphed from acid-laced mud fucking to Altamont, with Marty Balin getting knocked out cold by a Hell's Angel and some guy getting stabbed near the front of the stage.

We should always approach "movements" with caution, whether it's the Summer of Love or a guy running on a platform of hope and change that ends up doing the job in a manner that's remarkably similar to his predecessor.

And I was there, but I'm not 60 or 70.
