Woodstock Nostalgia
For some boomers, Woodstock was the seminal event of the ’60s, a moment of counterculture crystallization. (For others, it may have just been something their parents grumbled about around the dinner table.) Whether it’s through first-hand memories or second-hand nostalgia, Woodstock remains a subject of widespread fascination, so it makes perfect sense that a museum dedicated to the festival is finally opening its doors this summer. As wowOwow notes, the three-gallery museum is located at the actual site of the 1969 festival, in Upstate New York’s Bethel Woods. Do you think the museum will become a Cooperstown-like mecca for lovers of ’60s music and culture, or will reliving the time the old-fashioned way–through the music itself–always be best?
