Picked up a Woodstock DVD from the thrift shop a few months back. Finally got around to watching it with my buddy Dale. Honestly, I don't see what the big deal was. What even was the good time? To me, it looked like a pretty miserable experience. Sit out in the rain for three days. Surrounded by smelly people, many of whom are high on narcotics. Can't even tell if you're sloshing around in mud or some ashole's fresh coils.
And its not like it was the greatest lineup ever. Hendrix was out there. Jefferson Airplane, Joan Baez, Santana, The Who....but there was also a lot of filler it seems. And many top performers declined to attend. No food vendors at the site. Everyone's hungry. And pissing on themselves. Really, I don't get what the good time was. Why is this event remembered so fondly? Explain it to me, boys. Because if I went back in time and lived just five minutes away, I still would rather stay home and watch the Brady Bunch. Seems like a far more enjoyable thing to do.

You boys explain to me what's so great about Woodstock. Seemed quite retarded to me.

Woodstock have been the pioneers of the industry. You may ask how?
What do we mean by a Hybrid Wood Stove?
Hy-brid (noun): A thing made by combining two different elements; a mixture. Hybrid is a word that is being used more frequently these days. Auto makers are building hybrid gas and electric cars that increase fuel economy. Biologists have created hybrid crops that are more resilient and grow quicker. The marriage of two different technologies or ideas can lead to a product that captures the best parts of its different components. So what exactly is the Woodstock Soapstone Progress Hybrid? What elements have been combined that make this a superior wood stove? These are questions we are asked every day.
The Progress is a true hybrid because it combines a catalytic combustor with a secondary combustion system. Each of these elements is used to reduce wood stove emissions and increase efficiency. Until now, wood stoves have been using either a catalytic combustor or a secondary combustion system to meet EPA emissions standards. Each design is capable of meeting the standards by itself, so why go to the trouble and expense of developing a wood stove that combines these two separate systems? The answer lies in the way each system performs best. A catalytic combustor has the ability to break down the compounds in wood smoke at temperatures as low as 500 degrees F. This allows for more complete combustion (less pollution) at a low to moderate burn rate. The catalytic reaction produces a considerable amount of heat from the wood smoke as well producing a long, clean, and efficient burn. A secondary combustion system requires much higher temperatures (over 1000 degrees F) to break down the same compounds in the wood smoke. These systems work most effectively at higher burn rates. The idea behind combining these two different systems in one wood stove is to capture a clean and efficient burn throughout the entire burn range.
Seems simple, right? The real trick is getting the two different systems to work effectively together and make the stove as simple to operate as possible. Through the long and winding path of R&D we have designed an air damper system that controls both primary and secondary air to the firebox using a single, simple lever. The ratio of primary to secondary air is pre-set so the user does not have to fiddle with separate knobs or levers to fine tune the burn. The Progress will automatically deliver unused secondary air to the combustor at lower burn rates, or allow the air to combine with gases in the firebox at higher burn rates for a spectacular secondary burn. At a medium burn rate, the secondary flames and catalytic combustor alternate depending on the conditions in the firebox. Two different systems, working in harmony, make the Progress Hybrid Wood Stove.

I don't think any of that was going on, partner. I'm sure there were slags out there making their pussies available to borderline strangers. But I bet those gals were also very unwashed, ungroomed and badly infected with disease. Is that a fun time? Getting AIDS from a smelly pussy? With a lot of bush and various debris on it?

You don't understand it because you're not a fighting-age male of the 1960s who just got their draft notice to go to Vietnam and realized there was a concert going on conveniently close to the Canadian border.
I'm #12 in Y2J's "club"...and I'm scared.

The OG Woodstock was in 1969. AIDS didn't exist.
Any festival looks like hell to me. No showers, dirty people everywhere. Vomit, pee and poop everywhere. No thanks Jeffrey! I love rock concerts but really don't want to be there all day/night or for more than 3-4 bands. I prefer 1 opener and 1 main band.~ In a world where you can be anything, be kind ~

Yep....agreed.
I wasn't actually at Woodstock but I was young (22) in the that time frame and got out of the military in June, '69.
Personally, I hate crowds so attending that event would not be appealing to me.
But, much of the music that came from that era had great 'appeal'.
So, that's how I started my musical journey.

Always looked to me like a bunch of dirty hippies in a field with no bathrooms.
Not my thing at all.
I like music festivals and such but they need lots of beer, food and scantily clad women. Also bathrooms."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

You've got to think of the time context. The late 60s was incredibly turbulent with racial tensions/violence, conflict in Vietnam, culture clash between the older generation, political violence etc. Woodstock was the one place and one time where everyone could just come together and literally space out/chill and just enjoy the 60s vibe.

I completely agree about that era of music being vastly superior, but the event itself looked very unpleasant to me, Wayne. I'm willing to bet the folks who attended never thought it would still be talked about years later, let alone decades.
All those hippies did was come together, space out, chill and feel the vibe. They just decided to do it out in a muddy field in upstate New York.Smooth Anus Crew
