Altamont is more representative of what the Boomers became than Woodstock

We'd like to start a campaign to get the 40th anniversary of Altamont recognized as the cultural milestone of the Baby Boomers, instead of that insipid Woodstock.

On a musical level, it had better bands and better performances.

More importantly though, from a cultural perspective - it didn't even try to thinly disguise money-grubbing business moves designed to benefit a small group of people = like paying the Hells Angels $500 in beer to watch over the stage.

Those kinds of things were harbingers of what the Boomers were really all about - as we got to see in the years to come.
