Woodstock
            In 1969 a monumental festival changed our world. More than half a million people came together and united peace and openness to cultural expression. Today, Woodstock lives on. The original producers of the historic festival continue to carry forward the Woodstock ethos by identifying social, environmental and political causes, organizing communities around them, developing products for those communities, and encouraging creative expression. The original festival was a three day event, that actually turned into four days, that involved a lot of drugs, sex, music, and mud. The question is, how is the original Woodstock festival compared to the way we have music festivals today? There are many ways in which they are similar but, there are also many things that are different.

abstract-what is my research question?

.My topic is important to my audience because my type of audience would be interested in music and they probably attend concerts so they would be interested in one of the biggest rock concerts of all time, and how it has affected the way we see concerts today. My audience cares about this topic because they care about music and the things that affect the ways that they see their music put on. My research question is going to be how has Woodstock affected the way that we put concerts on today. I am going to approach my question about this subject by researching about Woodstock and how the concert was put on then use my knowledge of the way concerts are put on today and see if I can make comparisons between the two. In this paper I will show comparisons between the way Woodstock was put on and they way concerts are put on today. In my paper I predict I will find that there are many comparisons to concerts today and to Woodstock. Some preliminary conclusions that I think I will find will be that there are many similarities between Woodstock and concerts that we see today. I also think that I will find similarities between the type of people that attended Woodstock and the type of people that attend concerts today. Also between their behavior at concerts. And finally I think I will find comparisons between the music that was played at Woodstock and the music we listen to.
