Every generation needs a Woodstock. Burning man is not real enough.

>>DenisM+(OP)
The tricky part of ephemeral culture is keeping it ephemeral while still allowing it to reoccur often in new forms, and not just having a crystalized form of spontaneity that future generations are supposed to appreciate in the correct way.

>Every generation needs a Woodstock

A massively failed capitalist project that leaves behind an enormous mess?

>>Finnuc+I9
Yes, actually.

The ability for people to make a mess on occasion, for whatever reason, is an essential freedom to be cherished and fought for.

Every generation needs an act of rebellion. It's a sort of fundamental law of nature, as a right of passage in a way.

The organizers of Woodstock knew they weren’t going to profit, and they did it anyway.

They also knew that crowd control was going to be a problem; instead of hiring police, they brought in people from a commune who were used to doing crowd control for large peaceful gatherings.

Then there was Altamont.
