Woodstock '94 was fine, whatever.

Woodstock '99 was a gross shit-show disaster.

At the time, MTV said, and I quote: "The air smelled of burning garbage, as well as urine and feces."

And with news that Woodstock is coming back for the 50th anniversary this year, I thought it was fitting to revisit the original Woodstock.

It's time #Woodstock50☮️♥️🎵
