You sir (or madam), are grossly misinformed. Not only can I assure you that the "dirty hippies" you speak of there are about as frightenly far from "wanna-be" as is humanly possible (there is a spattering of fake trust-fund hippies though, I'll give you that.) I am not a hippie, and never in the two years I have attended has it attempted to be anything like Woodstock, nor have I ever wished it was Woodstock. If it were trying to be Woodstock, I doubt that hip-hop acts such as the Roots and artists such as David Byrne would be headlining. Just because you silently wish that you were at woodstock during every Nickelback, Creed, and Three Doors Down concert you attend, does not mean that this is true for the rest of us. Thanks and feel free to chime in with your eloquent reparte on any other discussion on this forum that you know nothing about! Cheers -John
