WOODSTOCK!

If I could go back in time I would go back to the 1960’s. Back then things were much simpler. To be more specific I would like to go back in time to 1969. I want to see how the hippies lived. 1969 was there biggest year. This is when Woodstock happened.

            I think it would be cool to walk around as a hippie and just do what the hippies do. Just going around basically doing as you please and throwing caution to the wind sounds pretty fun. Basically a hippie in the 1960’s is equivalent to a modern day bum. Back then it was kind of the trend. A lot of the population was considered hippies. They did what they wanted and disagreed with “The Man” or in other words the government. They would always try to go against what the government said. This is one of the main reasons I want to experience the hippie era. I despise politics and enjoy the fact of disobeying the government. It makes me feel rebellious.

            Now back to the topic of Woodstock. In modern day I love going to concerts and musical festivals. I can’t imagine how intense Woodstock must have been. It would have been awesome to be there and experience one of the biggest music festivals of all time. It was a historical moment for music and for hippies. Besides all the drugs and marijuana used at Woodstock it seems like it would have been a life changing experience. Hundreds of bands playing good music and acres upon acres of people enjoying themselves, listening to music, sounds like a good time to me.

            Other then hippies and Woodstock back in the 60’s times were much simpler. Everything was a lot cheaper and no one really cared about anything. A lot of modern day technology didn’t exist and no one really got side tracked. Everyone went to work, relaxed, and well that’s pretty much it. Also no one cared about getting diseases or cancer. Everyone did as they pleased and just enjoyed life. It was almost as if their lives were stress free. I can just imagine it now. A stress free life sounds great to me. Were is the time machine at? I want to go back to the 60’s now.

            There isn’t much more I can say about the 1960’s just that it would be great to live life the way they did. They lived their lives without worries. They were not scared of danger, disease, or death. Whatever happened just… happened. Oh Wait! I lied one of my favorite presidents was in office during this time period until he was assassinated. JFK was president and I always wanted to meet him. Okay now I can’t say much more about the 60’s. I can’t such much more because it was so laid back there isn’t much more that happened. Woodstock was one of the biggest things to happen during this era. Anyways, these are the reasons why I would like to go back to the 1960’s. it seems like an interesting time period.
