Woodstock Wasn’t Supposed To Be Political
Woodstock was not long after the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. However, Michael Lang did not want the festival to be political; instead, he wanted it to be a place where opposing ideas could coexist.
Regardless, there was still politics at Woodstock, but overall the focus remained on peace and music. It was a music celebration and was just meant for everyone to have a good time and enjoy the entertainment.
