"Woodstock is located in New York State amid the pastoral idyll of the Catskill mountains. Its setting means it's only a few hours' drive from New York City yet remote enough to provide a retreat from the traffic-splashed streets of the metropolis.....it was the eponymous festival in 1969 that put the town on the map (despite being held some 60 miles away). Ever since, 'Woodstock' has served as a metonym for everything right and everything wrong about the counter-culture" (Catholic Herald, Why Woodstock Became a Nightmare, 3/11/16).
