Woodstock 1969 was one of the largest concerts of all time and a cultural benchmark for the late 1960s, while Woodstock 1999 was a disaster and marked the cultural end of the 1990s. They are both very well known concerts, but the memories of each are very different. Even though Woodstock 1969 positively affected the music world, Woodstock 1999 was a huge failure and greatly affected Woodstock’s reputation. Woodstock began on August 15,1969, and it lasted until August 18, 1969 (History). It took place on a 600-acre dairy farm owned by Max Yasgur (History). The farm was located in Bethel, New York (History). Posters were suggested to promote the festival. The first poster that was created did not satisfy store owners because of its revealing of a fully nude woman surrounded by cherubs, hearts, and arrows (Huffingtonpost). Also, there was no room on the poster for band names. Arnold Skolnick was the creator of the new Woodstock poster that displayed a white dove perched on a guitar neck (Huffingtonpost). The poster was titled, “3 …show more content…

This Woodstock was held at the Griffiss Air Force Base located in Rome, New York (web.a.ebscohost). The new location was only approximately 20 miles away from the original Woodstock location. The festival costed $38 million dollars to produce (washingtonpost). To cover the expenses, tickets sold for $150 dollars plus a service charge (washingtonpost). Concession prices were extremely high, with water costing $4 dollars a bottle (sfgate). The high prices infuriated festival attendees because water was a necessity while being exposed to the blistering heat. Throughout the fiery festival, many bands performed. One of the most crazed times of the festival was when Kid Rock incited the crowd to throw water bottles at the stage. This got the crowd stirred up even more than they already were. High prices and high temperatures contributed to lighting the

The whole show is performed in a bar in France, called The Lapin Agile located in the Montmartre district; a district known for being an artsy, and social, as well as a risqué environment (LAPIN AGILE). The Lapin Agile itself was a place people from all types of artistic or unique backgrounds would come and show their art (Jones). Martin obviously chose this location for the play because Picasso is the title character of the show, and it would be logical for him to be in an artsy part of Paris. Tying the setting into the reason for the play, rather than setting a play any old place, places Martin far above most other writers. 1904 was the beginning of an age where innovation in art was the norm.

Shaking the Foundations Since the founding of the United States of America, culture, religion, and race have always been interlaced. If one of these changed, the others struggled to adapt.

In these chapters of Flowers in the Dustbin, James Miller emphasizes the origins of multiple styles of rock and roll, and highlights musicians that aided in bringing about this earth shattering new sound. Artists other than Elvis Presley, like Little Richard, ‘Fats’ Domino, Pat Boone, and a disc jockey by the name of Alan Freed all contributed to what we know and love as rock and roll. Rock and roll broke racial barriers, bringing a predominantly black style of music to the white youth culture of the time. Black artist Little Richard spoke to a younger audience through his music, because he himself was one of the youngest emerging rock and roll artists of the time.

How Rock and Roll Has Been Affected and Evolved Through the Ages Larry Williams, the blues and rock and roll singer, once said, “Rock and Roll has no beginning and no end for it is the very pulse of life itself.” With this quote, he shows that rock and roll truly is an ever-changing enigma. Its lifespan is similar to that of a human’s life because it has consisted of many phases like rockabilly, doowop, and many others. It has had its ups and its downs with the appearance of young new talent that inspired people around the world, and the death of superstars has ripped fans apart as long as this historical music genre has existed.

Jimi Hendrix changed music as a whole. Before Jimi Hendrix, there were bands like "The Beatles" or "The Beach Boys," and before Jimi Hendrix’s arrival, there wasn’t really hard rock until 1966, when ‘The Jimi Hendrix Experience’ was made. As shown from this quote, "Hendrix ambitiously recast the music of his forefathers and elders—Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Charlie Christian, Chuck Berry—into electrifying future soul and elegiac cosmic balladry. His experiments with funk rhythms, heavy blues, electronic-sound collages, and sensually charged romantic pop, in turn, laid the foundation for later innovations in black rock and R&B by George Clinton, Miles Davis, Prince, and Living Colour."

If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.” A generation which was earnestly devoted to peace, protest, and revolution, the counterculture amongst the 1960’s yearned for change.
