What Went Wrong at Woodstock '99?
By DAVID BAUDER Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - The promoters of Woodstock '99 should have anticipated problems when the festival's more aggressive lineup played before such a big crowd, according to a musician who headlined one all-night rave.
The most popular musicians at the event - Korn, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock and Rage Against the Machine - specialize in a particularly combative mixture of hard rock and rap, said the techno artist Moby.
``You don't have a rock festival based on peace and love and invite Kid Rock and Insane Clown Posse,'' he said. ``It's just foolishness. Look at the people who go to their shows regularly - macho idiots. So, of course those same macho idiots are going to show up at your rock festival and cause trouble.''
Woodstock '99 ended in an ugly orgy of violence, with tractor-trailers set ablaze, vendor stands overrun and authorities pelted with bottles. At least six victims of rape and sexual assault have come forward, and more are anticipated.
The way it should've been
Message from the webmaster: As the moderator of this website, I have grown tired of the riot photos and stories all over the web. Every time I came to this homepage I saw the riot photo on the homepage and it was leaving a bad taste in my mouth about my whole Woodstock experience. I have decided to change the photo and put up a rare story that I found that represents the way Woodstock should've been remembered. Hope you feel the same. Peace.
