I've already mentioned the reaction of some of the police caught within the crowd at Woodstock. They were in uniform, of course, but many had flowers in their hair, behind their ears, in their pockets, etc...and were NOT trying to take them out....they were caught in the feeling there at the moment and I'm sure many were in a VERY foreign environment - but loving it [grooving on it, would be the lingo of the time]. Then after the rain, the food ran out and trucks couldn't get through the roads which had cars parked on the sides of the road, and IN the road - so somehow the Army helicopters dropped food and water to us [I always wondered who paid for that]. I even saw one helicopter drop several hundred pounds of flowers over the crowd. Peace, Love and Positive Regard is infectious - unless the PTB go through with their Blue-Meany routine.
Yes, Woodstock shocked the PTB, and they made a decision to never let that happen again nor spread. All you posted Jan are on the mark. It was a magical moment in time - there were a few others in S.F. I was at...and then it was all over and the '60s became a killing field, nasty drug/mind-control testing field - and the beginning of our current and ongoing policestate. However, it proved what was possible and IMO what the People want.
