In Woodstock I mostly saw male pelvises thrusting around on stage while vague-eyed woman wandered around looking passive or lost. Perhaps the creators of this documentary didn't have the politics to film any women with take-charge energy. The level of trust at Woodstock will never be duplicated. But immediate gratification is not freedom. On the contrary, immediate gratification breeds addiction, attention deficiency, consumerism, depression, and cynicism among other modern ills.
Freedom is about rigorous honesty, discipline, morality and responsibility.
Freedom is about clear-headedness, confronting fear, and setting limits. Freedom is the willingness to be unpopular, tolerant, consistent, and more often than not, delaying immediate gratification for the greater good. Freedom's a pisser. It's not always fun in the short-run. Too bad the Woodstockers never learned that.
