In an ironic display, a group of Yippies staged a boycott in 1970 of the film Woodstock, which took what was originally a three-day, genial, youth-oriented, peace and anti-war festival the year before and, according to protesters, turned it into crass commerce.
As the article in Los Angeles Free Press reads: "A big company (Warner Bros.) takes the life-style, love, feeling and thoughts of the youth culture and sells it back for many bucks."
Cost of tickets at the Warners theater on Wilshire in Los Angeles was $4, or about $31 in 2023.
