I watched the special on Woodstock on PBS. Those dirty hippies trashed that farm, more than I would of thought was possible in 4 days. There was some great music.

There was a write up in the local paper about Max Yasgur the owner of the farm that presented the opposite of what you are saying. It was said he knew the promoters were coming to his farm to ask for permission to hold the festival there, and he was ready with demands for them that were met in order to hold the festival. I couldn't get the link here's this; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Yasgur

Some information: Many of his neighbors turned against him after the festival, and he was no longer welcome at the town general store, but he never regretted his decision to allow the concert on his farm.
On January 7, 1970, he was sued by his neighbors for property damage caused by the concert attendees.
However, the damage to his own property was far more extensive and, over a year later, he received a $50,000 settlement to pay for the near-destruction of his dairy farm.[citation needed]
He refused to rent out his farm for a 1970 revival of the festival, saying, "As far as I know, I'm going back to running a dairy farm."

In 1971, Yasgur sold the 600-acre (2.4 km2) farm, and moved to Marathon, Florida, where, a year and a half later, he died of a heart attack at the age of 53.
He was given a full-page obituary in Rolling Stone magazine, one of the few non-musicians to have received such an honor.

In 1997, the site of the concert and 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) surrounding it was purchased by Alan Gerry for the purpose of creating the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
In August 2007, the 103-acre (0.42 km2) parcel that contains Yasgur's former homestead, about 3 miles from the festival site, was placed on the market for $8 million by its owner, Roy Howard.

Sex and drugs and singing about sex and drugs. No conservative would consider participating in such activities. Well, at least not at the same time.

I wanted to go but I was only 14 years old and my dad wouldn't let me.
Had to stay in Wisconsin and broaden my horizons here, which was fairly easy to do back in the late 60's early 70's.

KeithC I'll bet no one was "taking a knee" during Jimi Hendrix' rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. Maybe passed out though.
