There seems to be
an annoying forced revisionism over Woodstock, the greatest cultural achievement of man. Part of it may be that people do tire of hearing culture-war stories from boomers; part of it may be the hacks have this vague notion that people are tired of the CW; part of it may be their supersalesmanship of the GENIUS of rock; part of it may be mere idle Kinsleyism. Whatever, it seems a little hypocritical that the industry that finds cancer-curing powers in anything show biz is suddenly beating up on a LEGENDARY forty-year-old.
And the revisionists are saying the movie was "great", meaning they're still on the right side.
