Nearly 50 years ago, a group of young people who had become disillusioned by issues dividing the nation and all the violence surrounding them banded together to create what would become one of the United States’ most pivotal cultural and political moments: Woodstock 1969.
“We thought it was time to see if we, as a counterculture, could make things work,” Lang said. “I thought, let’s bring all of the music in the counterculture you can find and you put them in a beautiful place. … We wanted politics to be the festival itself and nothing else. My feeling was that the best political statement we could make is that it works.”
Prior to their issues with finding a venue, the organizers also had to deliver a lineup of artists capable of attracting festival-goers. “It was very hard at the beginning because no one had ever heard of Michael,” said Artie Kornfeld, the promoter of the festival. “I liked Michael Lang,” Fouratt said. “He believed in music having the ability to make change, and I felt that if I could do something that would help this happen, I would do it.”
Today, Lang is part of a group trying to bring back Woodstock for its 50th anniversary, but again, he’s facing challenges getting it off the ground.
