Woodstock museum to open

this is the discussion topic for: Woodstock museum to open

A museum to commemorate the Woodstock festival is set to open, despite the US government pulling money from it.

Officially, the Woodstock Museum is known as the Museum At Bethel Woods and is due to open next year.

However, the US government has withdrawn $1,000,000 from the project.

"Our plans haven't changed," says Ellyn Solis a spokeswoman for the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, which is developing the museum as the newest part of its 2000-acre performing arts venue.

Last week, legislators voted to strip the $1,000,000 million earmark sought by New York.

The museum is being built on top of the hill where the stage of the legendary festival was located, reports Yahoo News.

I am quite sure, if this museum were about War, Death, and Destruction the millions would pour in from all sides. But since this one is about Peace, Love, and Music ... well ... the millions get pulled out.

Sen. John McKain has made a big deal about Hillary Clinton's support of the museum - it just shows you how out of touch the man is; Woodstock was almost 40 years ago and the conservatives still havent got over it:

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
