And I suppose no justice was ever gotten for those girls, not really much hope of finding those men again unless the victims knew them.

I did read an article and Tom Morello from RATM said this about it in 2000 -

“I think the sexual assaults that occurred were horrific and inexcusable,” he said. “But in general, I thought the media coverage was grossly unfair and youth-bashing and tried to vilify an entire generation because of a couple of idiots there.”

He seemed to have changed his mind a lot more recently -

“For me, Woodstock ’99 was the low point of nu metal. The rapes in the pit, the trashing of the sites. It just seemed like it distilled the worst elements of metal — the misogynist jock buggery — and the message wasn’t announced as ‘this is a horrible thing.’ It was more like, ‘this is our new Woodstock generation — a bunch of idiots.’”



But in general I don't actually blame the bands at all, they were doing what those bands do. The organisers treated the crowd like animals and they ended up acting accordingly


Yeah the paradox as to how the bands were treated compared to the audience was quite stark

They basically just want to fleece them as for the drinking water...omg they were lucky more didn’t die or have serious illness

And charging $4 (and up to $12 by the end once supplies started running out) for bottled water was so irresponsible in that heat.

and when the fires were set, the only worry was getting the cash from the vendor tent not the threat to life

Yeah I'm amazed more didn't suffer seriously from dehydration with all the booze and drugs they'd be taking as well

I just got done watching the Netflix doc, it was pretty good, unlike the HBO film which is mainly about race.

DMX - sings a verse, then holds up mic to the crowd
Crowd - "my n-word"
DMX - (as above)
Crowd - (as above)
And so on....

Of course, there's a bit on how it's racist, when it isn't at all and the US media going along with their every white person is racist narrative.
