Lots of people just like that living in little old Bethel, New York to this day. Some of them descendents of Mr. Yasgur himself. If you ever get the chance to visit the Bethel Woods center, do yourself a favor and check out some of the surrounding little towns.

The greatest American family ever

Very interesting.

50k was a lot back then. But organizers were trapped and needed a location. No harm in making money.

Retired to Florida and died shortly after. He didn't hit 55.

Community gardens were common among the hippie community which is basically farming on a small scale.

I was legit bouta say that😂

Hey man if a legend breaths while I'm around I'd probably applaud them too "Wonderful you exist much better than I 👏👏👏👏"

I’m a Canadian conservative. Many of us are soft and humble people in reality. Don’t believe everything you hear. I’m a farmer in Saskatchewan. We are just simple, hard working people helping to feed a hungry world. We just get mad when people start fucking around with our livelihood.

It was a perfect casting. The whole movie

Your great grandpa was a teenager at Woodstock? How old are you, 3?

@@oilersridersbluejays no i'm 14

Unfortunately the community turned against him after the concert. He and his family were pretty much persona non grata. Sadly he sold his farm two years later and died in 73.

WOOOOOOOOOOO

He was one of the most successful dairy farmers in NY so he was also a sophisticated businessperson. This isn't bad, it's actually very good fortune - that someone who had the skill and experience and willingness (and land) to help the organizers make this possible was an amazing piece of luck.

the republican voters do not want fascism(which is authoritarian, state run everything, and suppression of opposition) Democrat voters do. Wikipedia call it far right, but it's the actions of the far left

@@MC2RD The definition of far right is fascism. Go learn some history.

@@Trainy2 far left has alway been fascist. Go look at some actions throughout history.

"Old school Republican" would include me and most of my many Republican friends and relatives who are largely libertarian in nature. We believe in the Constitution, which usually means less Federal and State control over individuals and what they do. Part of the reason Max Yasgur had the Woodstock concert on his land was he saw it as a freedom of speech issue. Even though he and the concert goers differed in their views and style of expression, he wanted to help bridge the generation gap by giving the concert a venue. Yes, he was paid $10,000 for the use of the land, but it got more destroyed than he or the organizers had ever planned. He ended up getting money from an insurance company for some of the damages. Still, he had no regrets about hosting the concert.

I’m a Canadian conservative farmer from a long line of true blue conservative farmers. My family escaped fascism and communism in Germany. True Conservatives are neither fascists nor communists. We truly believe in freedom, hard work, small government, and low taxes. Don’t believe everything you hear in MSM. Most of us Conservatives are not some bad boogeyman.

BRUCE, who the hell starts all the wars? Besides, both sides of the aisle are in bed together.

@@mikeekim242 Idiot Democrats like to blame Republicans for the problems of the world. The truth is the Democrats Murderous Abortion policies have slaughtered more lives than ALL the wars combined. The Democrats are Demons, and shall forever be called DEMONCRATS!

@@mightybuffoon If you think the evangelical Republicans are on your side, you've been fooled. Both sides of the aisle are corrupt, and are doing nothing to see to it that you're more free.

Hey now to be fair, there used to be a Democrat antiwar contingent... it seems long gone as well...

@@mikeekim242 Albert Jay Nock for one. Many more if you care to look and value history.
