Bethel, N.Y., event celebrates 40 years since Woodstock

Should woodstock be repeated ? Hell No ! Could you Imagine the amount of liberal Drival we would be subjected to !
And I think that many Hippies in one area not showering for days , would open some kinda Vortex to the netherworld and release some crazed democratic demon !


BETHEL - There'll never be anything like Woodstock again. But there could be.

Participants and others who gathered Friday to celebrate the legendary music festival's 40th anniversary were divided on whether such a groundbreaking concert could occur once more.

"There's absolutely no way it could happen again," insisted Leni Binder, a county legislator who campaigned to preserve the site from development and helped erect a monument on it. "Woodstock was a place in time. Today everybody would be stopped [far from the site] because of the traffic jam and the public safety hazards. You can't repeat it because the people have changed, the mood has changed."

Sam Yasgur isn't so sure. The son of Max Yasgur, who owned the dairy farm where the concert took place, said, "It was an organic event. It just came together. You couldn't produce it to come together that way." Then again, he added, "It might come again someday. Who can tell?"

A steady stream of concert veterans and others who missed it visited the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and its Woodstock museum on Friday that now occupy the concert site. Singer Richie Havens, the festival's opening act, and others involved in the 1969 event spoke to dozens of media representatives from around the globe.

Havens sang "Freedom" - the song he made up on the spot in '69 at the conclusion of a 2-hour-and-45-minute performance - for the gathered media at the top of the natural amphitheater before performing in concert at the new museum Friday night.

There "absolutely" could be another festival like Woodstock, said Havens, who added that one was held in Brazil later the same year.
