The crowd at Woodstock also experienced some bad weather along with muddy conditions, lack of food and water. Overall, the concept was still peaceful despite those challenges.
Moving on, we were tasked to analyse songs that promoted the anti-war movement. I chose the song "give peace a chance" by John Lennon.
What message the song sends: I believe that the message of the song was obtaining peace and ending wars. The song referred to the Vietnam War and how numerous Americans felt that they should stop the fighting.
