Put a fork in Woodstock50, please (column)
. The legacy of the 1969 festival that changed culture itself is tarnished, if not completely ruined; your multiple attempts to move the event to another location are laughable at this point; the lineup is in shambles, with Jay-Z and John Fogerty pulling out ahead of an avalanche of artists expected to follow suit in three, two…In fact, you still owe us for Woodstock 99.
How disappointing to see that, in the end, that lofty notion would turn into a giant money-grab. And even worse, should some thrown-together version ofactually take place at Merriweather Post in Maryland, as a pale imitation, it would devalue the Woodstock name and legacy even more. Again, the obvious: in 2019, major music gatherings require months if not years of planning. If Woodstock 1969 were held today, you would have been sent to jail.
