Woodstock University addresses the educational interface of 1969's
iconic Woodstock Festival, as a number of its attendees and
performers would later become academics 'with a touch of gray,' and
it also considers the role of music in Woodstock's legacy as the
embodiment of 1960s countercultural idealism, escapism, and
activism. A self-mythologizing event, as indicated by
congratulatory stage announcements, Woodstock made a real-time
claim for its own historic importance. Elevated by its remarkable
(and in some cases doctored) audio, celluloid, and oral history
afterlives, Woodstock would enhance the aura of rock star
celebrity, and in the process expose the counterculture as a cash
cow and weaponize the machinery of corporate rock. The essays in
this collection are the participant observations of performers and
attendees of Woodstock and related festivals, and also the
reflections of cultural historians on aspects of the festival, its
representation, and its ambiguous legacy. The chapters in this book
were originally published as a special issue of the journal Popular
Music and Society.
