They were mingling with other models and Hollywood stars in a private suite at the city’s Gramercy Park Hotel.

Im "Summer of 69" wurde die Hippie-Bewegung endgültig zum Mainstream.
"Vielleicht war Woodstock nichts anderes als eine glorifizierte Party, bei der weiße Kids aus den Vorstädten Campen im Regen und Haschrauchen entdeckten", hat jüngst die "New York Times" provokant am Rande eines Interviews mit dem Woodstock-Veteranen Arlo Guthrie spekuliert.
Woodstock gilt heute als Synonym für die Hippie-Kultur. Dabei war das Megafestival im "Summer of 69" einer der letzten Höhepunkte der auseinanderdriftenden Bewegung. Der ORF widmet sich dem Thema ab Sonntag mit einem Programmschwerpunkt.
