: This place has gone nuts. As Woodstock 99 was coming to a peaceful close, the attendees went completely mad. It started with a few trash can fires, and so far it includes 2 semi truck trailers aflame, and a complete looting of the camping supply center and the Budweiser truck. It is insane. What once appeared to be completely normal (by Woodstock standards of course) people de-evolved into rhythmic, trash can thumping, savages, dancing around makeshift bonfires, and causing a class-A disaster. Police in riot gear and fire fighters are everywhere. And, it's only getting worse. At last sight, the looting was still going on unchecked. The Rave party scheduled for tonight would seem to be in jeopardy. The tribute to Jimi Hendrix was apparently cancelled. Unless the fires were some sort of primative tribute to that burning guitar thing...?
: All and all it looks to be getting a little dangerous for concert-goers and police alike. Stay tuned... We'll be updating as soon as we know more.
What's wrong with people dancing and drumming?
I think watching the mayhem was more fun than
a Jimi Hendrix tribute anyway. I always thought
he was kinda lame.
