So great was the impact of the 1969 Woodstock festival (and film) that the sixties Counterculture is called the Woodstock Generation which historians say was the 20th century’s most activist, interesting generation. The objectives of the Counterculture were first and foremost the preservation of nature – from which humans and all their products are exclusively made; the related dematerialization of the global economy, equality and peace. These principals were celebrated through music for three days in August 1969.
