Mindvibes: An Ode to Woodstock, INTRODUCTION the first in an 8-part series which I will deal with the Woodstock event itself, but also the possibilities that this event held. Here I will talk on the difficulties of the producers in putting on this event, the ideas that were being expressed, and the feat that the youth were able to pull off because of the size of the crowd and different races of people who attended. With this introduction I will clarify what I perceive as the unwarranted harshness that the countercultural youth were getting from “mainstream America” itself.
