Make Way For The New Woodstock Revolution!

the revolution is already begining and i look forward to the day you stand with us in the name of love and peace.

 

I got stoned twice before I was busted =[ But I love love love love loved it!!!!!!!

I recorded a CD finally. I'm not totally satisfied with it because I'm sure I could've done it better. But it was a really small studio and we didn't have a lot of time. I played it for my friends and family and they loved it. I played at a coffee shop this weekend and the owner wants me to come back. I've been writing like crazy... I posted this in the poetry forum a while ago... I don't know if I posted it here?
My war song.

Take your place, you big disgrace
I thought I raised you right.
Take your stand and be a man
Your duty is to fight.
'Cause freedom don't come free, you know
I'm not about to let it go.
How dare you tell me 'No'?
But mama, I don't want to die
Or kill another man
Don;t want to fight, 'cause it ain't right
So hear me if you can.
They're spreading fear accross the lands
While blood is spilling on their hands.
How dare you make me go?
Well, if you flee, be gone from me
You've wandered out of line.
You know your place, you big disgrace
And you're no son of mine!
But mama, there's another way
If we might learn to love someday
We must begin today.
I believe from my heart, and I won't be a part of this madness!
What we're losing in lives, the surviving are gaining in sadness.
Peace takes courage, too.
Take your gun, you'd better run
Your nation is in need.
Take your stand and be a man
Your debt will soon be freed.
'Cause freedom don't come free, you see
I'm not about to let it be.
Don't make a fool of me!
But mama, I don't want to die
The propoganda lied.
Don't want to be no war machine,
No tool of foolish pride.
With thousands dead throughout the lands
No blood is spilling on my hands.
Don't make a pawn of me!
Well, if you flee, be gone from me
And drown in all your shame.
You've lost your place, you big disgrace
Got no one else to blame.
But mama, there's another way
If there'll be peace on earth someday
It must begin today.
I believe from my heart, and I won't be a part of this madness!
What we're losing in lives, the surviving are gaining in sadness.
But peace takes courage, too!
Yes, peace takes courage too.

I'm going to drop out of high school most likely... next year.

 

Hey, any chance to HEAR you?
I'd love that really...(and sorry if some already asked this) cause the image is not complete only by the lyrics

 

Without hearing anything, i can safely say that that's a fuckin cool song.

PEACE!

 

Your idea is ironically out-dated and it won't work. Times progress, and the Hippie generation has already been. It's time for something new and different.

 

hey sister, i dig what ur saying, and ya got my support, for the festival i think it should be free, i dont know if anyone else said this yet, but i think if its free, more kids will show up. lets do this!!!!

if u need any help feel free to meassge me or e-mail me at stoneyhippie420@yahoo.com

I agree. Free would bring in more people.

 

Ya man i am totaly ready for the the new hip relouation and am ready to march to tha old feild and have another woodstock. But none of thes new po bancs like greenday bring like the old ppl like allman bros and ppl like that

peace
Liam

 

well, if you ever wanted to start any kind of revolution, a high school degree would be necesary(sp?), fuck, so would a college. dropping out isnt a good way to get back at your dad for busting you. it only hurts you. plus, you hate living with your parents right? you think they are too oppressive. well, if you dropped out, youd be with them for longer than you would with a degree, you might be there your whole life. you wont be able to rent any dwelling with a $5.25 an hour paycheck.

 

If we are going to have any kind of revolution, exercise of free choice is what it will take. Drop out if you want. You can't let others control you.

 

Jesus, i'm so tired of people shitting on other's dreams. You have no proof that this idea won't work, just like WoodstockChild has no proof that it will. All we have to do to get this to work is have enough people who really dig the idea and believe in it and get them together. You can't say that it's outdated because the message of peace and love being spread has never been about time or dates. So, really if you're not going to help with our cause, and I do mean "our" cause, then get out of the way, because people like you are what is going to slow us down to get our message across.

 

I'm not sure if you're aware, but in the late 60s there was a flow of "peace & love". It failed miserably. Really, it's a dream-idea from naive adolescents who think they can change the world. You can't force a social revolution: they just happen. And, let's face it, the Hippie Generation is not going to come around again, atleast not how it was. No matter how much you love 60s music/fashion/politics you can't make a revolution on those basis', because they are totally different in 2006/07.

 

Woodstockchild-Where do I possibly begin ? I've looked through many of the posts in this thread and was very disappointed in alot of what I read. Not all mind you, but a lot. But let me tell you as someone who WAS AT WOODSTOCK in 69 that I am not disappointed in you or your plan for the future ! Don't listen to all the negative, establishment based claptrap opinions of those who don't want to think that what you plan might work. And don't believe that the hippy movement is dead, as some replies on this thread would have you believe. If it were as dead as that then this forum wouldn't exist and the word hippy would just be some lost word in the dictionary. Well hippy isn't just some lost word or failed movement. Granted it didn't work as successfully as it might have, but it had its successes. Youth wanting to emulate that time is one of those successes. If the Hippy Movement was an abject failure, no one would want any connection to it now. There was so much that influenced that time that I think many answering on this thread have forgotten or just plain don't know. I can remember being scared to death of being drafted for nam. I remember draft card burning and people taliking about "draft dodgers". I remember the fear that my parents told me of in the 50's that really sparked the hippy movement of the 60's and 70's. Yes, Peace Love and Freedom were what it was all about....and it still is ! Because what is life without peace....Chaios, without love....torture, and without freedom....forced imprisonment ! There were so many aspects of the hippy movement in the 60's. Drugs, music, but it was more than that. It was a feeling. A feeling that I have never lost and a feeling that it sounds like you have. Keep it and don't let anyone tell you it sn't worth something. Don't let your dreams be squashed by those who don't have the tenacity to even attempt to do something so profound. They are imprisoned by the system in their minds and don't have any touch with the true nature of what it means to be a hippy, or to be a part of something as important as the whole hippie movement. Yeah, it's easy to sit back and write about how much he or she is wasting their time and efforts, but at least the people trying are making that effort. Are those of you that are so negative even making an effort ? I can answer that....NO. If the Hippy movement had been backed and supported by that sort of negativity, Woodstock would never have happened man ! Haight Ashbury would just be some street sign in California, and People like Timothy Leary and the like would have been accountants. There would be no music, no books and no remembering by old farts like me. And most importantly of all....there would be no dreamers and planners like you Woodstockchild ! Never give in. It might not be easy, and it might not work....but it will all be worth the effort ! Peace and Love !

 

You don't have a clue !

 

It wasn't Sergeant Pepper that colored our world as much as Abbey Road.

 

From that picture you have as your signature, you are so loaded you don't realize what's going on.

Sure the next revolution is going to be different, you kids are different, you don't face a draft. Most of you are just too interested in obtaining the latest fashion accessories. But some of you like WC have heart and they can find a common goal and call to unity.

And my generation didn't fail miserably, we changed things. You young jackasses wouldn't have half the freedoms you do now if we hadn't fought for them.

 

If you always ask what financial benefit is in something before you choose to embrace it, your world will always be small.

You can't even write a coherent statement, but you are looking forward to a high paid job.

 

Hey Gardener, Im with ya brother ! Peace and Love!

 

I never said your generation failed miserably. I said the concept of peace & love failed miserably. Which it did and has, because nothing has been gained from it politically.

And please, don't think of your generation as a superior kind just on the basis that you changed some things. People change things every single day. Stop eating out of your own ass and then think that your generation were the ones that changed the world. Because I don't really think it has.

And don't, for the love of all things good, judge me on my sig. picture. Are you really that ignorant?

 

Oh, and there definitely isn't going to be a "New Woodstock Revolution". It's been, and gone. Period.
