Mythologizing and romanticizing the 1960s

Mythologizing and romanticizing the 1960s and the great-unwashed self-importance of the Woodstock Generation

August 26, 2009 by Kevin Dayhoff



Several folks have called to my attention the “wonderful 1960s,” “Camelot,” and the “Woodstock Generation,” in relationship with Senator Kennedy’s passing.

Oh please give me a break.

For older conservatives, there comes with Senator Kennedy’s death, a certain uninvited nostalgia that comes with the passing of an era.

The coverage of his life and times uncomfortably reminds older baby boomers of the difficult 1960s and the horrific consequences bestowed upon the Kennedy family, society and the nation as a result of that decade – as the retrospectives about Senator Kennedy’s life are played out before us in the media.

The polite and reverential praise for the life and accomplishments of Senator Kennedy may be more appropriate for those more qualified.

I’m sad and reflective about the passing of Senator Kennedy but I, for one, have little in the way of good sociological, political, or historical memories about the 1960s – or the 1970s, for that matter.

And I certainly cannot romanticize either Woodstock – or the “Woodstock Generation,” of which the gratuitous coverage was mercifully overcome by the Obamas on vacation in paradise and Senator Kennedy’s passing.

It has been a banner year for the baby boomer generation and much of the media to narcissistically utilize the cracked mirror by which it views its navel.

A casual objective observer could conclude that 1969 - 40 years ago - was the only year in which much of anything happened in the 1960s. Of course, there are some children of the 60s that can’t remember any of it …

At best the recent overindulgent coverage of Woodstock certainly fell somewhere between zeal and monomania. In case you were mercifully on vacation and missed the gratuitous visual displays on television; it was forty years ago that the weekend of peace, love, and revolution took place at Max Yasgur’s 600-acre farm in upstate New York.

The media has waxed poetically about the self-aggrandizing maniacal mayhem which took place August 15-18, 1969 - the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel, N.Y.

The retro-revisionist nostalgic meanderings about Woodstock gratuitously dusted-off all the grainy pictures of nearly a half-million people wallowing in mud, filth, and debris in various stages of losing their clothes – and their minds.

For those with a doctorate in modern anxiety and a minor in ennui; remember the iconic “naked woman stands up in the crowd during the 1969 Woodstock festival..,” or all the naked people sliding in the mud or swimming in the pond.

“Cue the superannuated hippies!,” wrote Greig Dymond, in a piece for CBC News titled, “Can we please stop mythologizing Woodstock?”

“Roll the archival tape of wasted, hairy people sliding through the mud! … We’re in the dog days of August and this is a feel-good story news channels can use to kill significant time. Weren’t those flower children cute? And so idealistic!”

Ay caramba.

Perhaps the New York Times music critic Jon Pareles summed it up best: “Baby boomers won’t let go of the Woodstock Festival. Why should we? It’s one of the few defining events of the late 1960s that had a clear happy ending.”

I was amused to read what Emily Brobrow wrote in the “More Intelligent Life” section of The Economist:

“There is something so tiresome about baby boomers waxing on about their own unwashed importance, squeezing out every last penny from marketing their memories. Yet it's hard not to feel moved by all of the manipulatively wistful slideshows and soundtracks.”

Moved? Nothing to see here folks except Jimi Hendrix playing the “Star Spangled Banner,” let’s move along. Me, I was moved to watch a lot of the Food Channel.

Mythologie et de glorifier le 1960 et le Grand-sales auto-importance de la génération Woodstock

Août 26, 2009 par Kevin Dayhoff

Plusieurs gens ont appelé mon attention sur les "merveilleuses années 1960», «Camelot» et le «Woodstock Generation», en relation avec le décès du sénateur Kennedy.

Oh s'il vous plaît donnez-moi une pause.

Pour les conservateurs plus âgés, il est livré avec la mort du sénateur Kennedy, une nostalgie sans y être invité certains qui vient avec le passage d'une époque.

La couverture de sa vie et l'époque rappelle désagréablement plus âgés des baby-boomers des années 1960 difficiles et les conséquences horribles accordé à la famille Kennedy, la société et la nation à la suite de cette décennie - comme les rétrospectives sur la vie du sénateur Kennedy se jouent devant nous dans les médias.

Les éloges polis et respectueux de la vie et les réalisations du sénateur Kennedy mai-être plus approprié pour les plus qualifiés.

Je suis triste et réfléchie au sujet du décès du sénateur Kennedy, mais, pour ma part, ont peu à la manière de bons souvenirs sociologiques, politiques ou historiques sur les années 1960 - ou les années 1970, pour cette question.

Et je ne peux certainement pas idéaliser ni Woodstock - ou le «Woodstock Generation», dont la couverture gratuite a été surmontée par les Obama heureusement en vacances au paradis et le décès du sénateur Kennedy.

Il a été une année record pour la génération du baby-boom et la plupart des médias de recourir à narcissiquement le miroir fendu par laquelle elle considère que son nombril.

Un observateur objectif occasionnel pourrait conclure qu'il ya 1969 à 40 ans - a été la seule année où une grande partie de tout ce qui s'est passé dans les années 1960. Bien sûr, il ya des enfants des années 60 qui ne me souviens pas de tout ça ...

Au mieux, la couverture indulgentes récente de Woodstock certainement se situait quelque part entre le zèle et la monomanie. Au cas où vous vous heureusement en vacances et a raté le visuel affiche gratuite sur la télévision, c'était il ya quarante ans que le week-end de la paix, l'amour et la révolution a eu lieu au 600-Max Yasgur's Farm acre en état de New York.

Les médias ont ciré poétique sur le soi-mayhem s'agrandir maniaque qui a eu lieu Août 15-18, 1969 - le Woodstock Music and Art Fair à Bethel, NY

La rétro-révisionniste méandres nostalgiques de Woodstock gratuitement saupoudré-off toutes les images granuleuses de près d'un demi-million de personnes se vautrer dans la boue, la saleté et les débris à divers stades de perdre leurs vêtements - et leur esprit.

Pour ceux ayant un doctorat dans l'angoisse moderne et une mineure en l'ennui; souvenir de la femme "iconique nu se lève dans la foule au cours de la .. 1969 Festival de Woodstock, ou tous les gens nus glissant dans la boue ou la natation dans l'étang.

"Cue les hippies surannée!", Écrit Greig Dymond, dans un morceau intitulé Nouvelles de la SRC, «Pouvons-nous s'il vous plaît arrêter mythification Woodstock?"

«Faire de la bande d'archives de gaspillage, poilu personnes glissant dans la boue! ... Nous sommes dans la canicule d'août et c'est un feel-good story voies nouvelles peuvent utiliser pour tuer le temps significatif. N'étaient pas celles enfants fleurs cute? Et tellement idéaliste! "

Ay caramba.

Peut-être le critique New York Times Music Jon Pareles le résumait le mieux: «Les baby-boomers ne seront pas lâcher du Festival de Woodstock. Pourquoi devrions-nous? C'est l'un des rares événements définition de la fin des années 1960 qui a eu une fin heureuse clair ".

Je me suis amusé à lire ce que Emily Brobrow a écrit dans le "Plus Intelligent Life» de The Economist:

"Il ya quelque chose d'aussi ennuyeux dans l'épilation à la cire sur les baby-boomers au sujet de leur propre importance non lavés, en retirer chaque dernier sou de commercialiser leurs souvenirs. Pourtant il est difficile de ne pas être ému par tous les diaporamas manipulatively nostalgiques et des bandes sonores.

Déplacé? Rien à voir ici les gens, sauf Jimi Hendrix jouer de la "Star Spangled Banner," Let's Move Along. Moi, j'ai été ému de regarder beaucoup de la Chaîne alimentaire.

Quand il n'est pas à l'écoute Jimi Hendrix, Kevin Dayhoff mai atteint at gmail.com kevindayhoff AT ou lui rendre visite à www.westminstermarylandonline.net

Mitificación y la idealización de la década de 1960 y el gran auto-lavados importancia de la generación de Woodstock

26 de agosto 2009 por Kevin Dayhoff

Varias personas han llamado mi atención sobre la "maravillosa década de 1960", "Camelot" y la "generación de Woodstock", en relación con el paso del Senador Kennedy.

Oh, por favor dame un respiro.

Para los mayores, los conservadores, llega con la muerte del senador Kennedy, la nostalgia de algunos invitados que viene con el paso de una era.

La cobertura de su vida y recuerda a veces incómodo "baby boomers" más difícil de la década de 1960 y las terribles consecuencias concedido a la familia Kennedy, de la sociedad y la nación como resultado de esa década - como las retrospectivas sobre la vida del Senador Kennedy se juegan ante nosotros en los medios de comunicación.

El elogio cortés y respetuoso de la vida y los logros del Senador Kennedy puede ser más apropiado para los más calificados.

Estoy triste y reflexiva sobre el paso del senador Kennedy, pero yo, por ejemplo, tienen poco en el camino de los buenos recuerdos sociológicos, políticos o históricos de la década de 1960 - o de la década de 1970, para el caso.

Y ciertamente no puede idealizar o Woodstock - o la "generación de Woodstock", de los cuales la cobertura gratuita fue afortunadamente superado por los Obama de vacaciones en el paraíso y el paso del Senador Kennedy.

Ha sido un año excepcional para la generación del baby boom y la mayor parte de los medios de comunicación a utilizar el narcisista espejo roto por el que se considera que su ombligo.

Un observador objetivo casual podría concluir que 1969 a 40 años - fue el único año en que gran parte de lo que sucedió en la década de 1960. Por supuesto, hay algunos niños de los años 60 que no puede recordar nada de eso ...

En el mejor de la cobertura excesivamente indulgente reciente de Woodstock ciertamente cayó en algún lugar entre el celo y la monomanía. En caso de que afortunadamente fueron de vacaciones y se perdió la muestra gratuita visuales en la televisión, sino que era hace cuarenta años que el fin de semana de la paz, el amor y la revolución tuvo lugar en la granja de Max Yasgur de 600 acres en el norte del estado de Nueva York.

Los medios de comunicación ha sufrido poéticamente sobre la auto-mutilación maníaca engrandecimiento que tuvo lugar en agosto 15-18, 1969 - la música y la Feria de Arte de Woodstock en Bethel, NY

La retro-revisionista meandros nostalgia de Woodstock gratuitamente desempolvados de descuento en todos los cuadros grano de casi medio millón de personas revolcarse en el barro, la suciedad y los escombros en las distintas etapas de perder sus ropas - y sus mentes.

Para aquellos con un doctorado en la angustia moderna y un menor en el aburrimiento; recuerdo el icono "mujer desnuda se levanta entre la multitud durante el 1969 .. festival de Woodstock", o toda la gente desnuda deslizamiento en el lodo o nadar en el estanque.

"Cue los hippies anticuado!", Escribió Greig Dymond, en una pieza para CBC News titulado, "¿Podemos dejar de mitificación de Woodstock?"

"Hacer la cinta de archivo de desperdicio, la gente peluda deslizantes por el barro! ... Estamos en la canícula de agosto y esta es una sensación de canales de noticias buena historia puede utilizar para matar el tiempo significativo. No eran los hijos de las flores lindo? Y tan idealista! "

Ay caramba.

Tal vez el crítico de música del New York Times Jon Pareles lo resumió mejor: "Los baby boomers no soltar el Festival de Woodstock. ¿Por qué deberíamos hacerlo? Es uno de los pocos eventos que definen la década de 1960 que tuvo un final feliz, claro. "

Me hizo gracia leer lo que escribió Emily Brobrow en la "sección" Más Vida Inteligente "de The Economist:

"Hay algo tan pesado sobre la generación del baby boom creciente acerca de su importancia en la propia sin lavar, exprimiendo hasta el último centavo de la comercialización de sus recuerdos. Sin embargo, es difícil no sentirse conmovido por todas las presentaciones manipuladoramente nostálgica y bandas sonoras. "

Movido? Nada que ver aquí la gente, salvo Jimi Hendrix tocando el himno nacional, "vamos a seguir el ritmo. A mí, me trasladaron a ver mucho el canal de Alimentación.

Saving The Rainforests

Kuching, Indonesia – Lions and tigers, oh my! Save the rainforest! We must have the biodiversity! The jungle absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. We need it or we will die!

National Rage
Roy Meachum
Whatever the topic, the reaction is rage. In some circles the mention of “abortion” brings heated words. The state of the economy launches tirades. But I’ve never seen the furor erupted by President Barack Obama’s hopes to reform the national health care.

A Brave New World – Sixth Grade Math
Nick Diaz
The job of the typical middle and high school mathematics teacher is a challenging one, as evidenced by the kinds of questions and statements made by students, parents, and school administrators; these are the people who comprise our “constituency,” if I may.

The Long Reach of the Tentacles
Steven R. Berryman
Having been on my “staycation” last week, I did not present my usual column last week. With so much transpiring in the meantime, here come some mini-Tentacles in an effort to catch up and to make up!

Friday, August 14, 2009
Friday Mornings with Bob
Roy Meachum
With astonishment, two different friends said to me this week that they were surprised to hear me talking about movies with Bob Miller (WFMD 930AM). I was surprised. Bob and I have chatted mainly about films – but all sorts of things – on his Morning News Express for more than several years.

Get Out Of The Way! Or Else!
Joe Charlebois
The left wing machine is pushing the idea that opponents and skeptics of arguably the most sweeping change to our free market system are stooges or tools of corporate interests or a large right wing cabal. The leaders of these attacks on town hall participants are coming from the most politically powerful members of Congress and the White House itself.

Standing in the Battle Line
Chris Cavey
Occasionally in political life you have one of those “ah-ha” moments. Late Monday afternoon at Towson University was such a moment for me – and Sen. Ben Cardin, too.

Too Many Adventures and Then Some
Joan McIntyre
Let’s hope my daughters don't read this article. They hate when I talk about them. But, isn't that a mother’s prerogative in some twisted way. Don’t labor pains equate to the right to use your children for article material. Okay, so maybe that isn't an exact interpretation, but work with me here, please.

Free Speech was great while it lasted
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Maryland’s Democrat U. S. Senator Ben Cardin got quite an earful at a town hall meeting Monday night in Towson on healthcare reform. Although I choose not to attend, according to many published accounts, those who did go soundly jeered and booed him throughout the evening.

Of “Birthers” and “Blue Dogs”
Michael Kurtianyk
I love language. I especially like the etymology of words and phrases. Did you know, for example, that the “dog days” of summer actually relates to Sirius, the “dog star,” which rises and sets with the sun?

Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Poisonous Partisanship
Roy Meachum
The United States Supreme Court has a new associate justice. Despite GOP hard-core opposition, Sonia Sottomeyer was sworn in the day after the Senate approved her appointment, 68-31. On Thursday, the Senate passed the “refill” of “Cash for Clunkers,” 60-37. Republicans lost both times.

Cause, Effect, and Solution
Farrell Keough
We have seen this scenario played out before – in fact, the Holy Bible speaks to third generations not embracing the religion of their parents. In short, it is the values, traditions, and work ethic of our parents and grandparents being pushed aside for a more progressive vision.

Monday, August 10, 2009
Defining Activism
Richard B. Weldon Jr.
MoveOn.org, that bastion of liberal thinking, is now in the business of defining speech. They’ve always considered themselves better than everyone else, now they’re defining by just how much they are better.
