Documentary acts like limp b ended the night for the main stage (Limp B scapegoat angle every documentary needs I guess)...the lineup that night was
Limp B
Rage against the Machine
Metallica
surprised they don't blame Metallica for finishing with Seek and Destroy
Also, rose colored glasses for the original Woodstock where multiple people died, hells angels beat the #### out of people, plenty of rapes to be sure

Yeah, I find it disingenuous to blame Limp Bizkit for that.
Sure, they may not have helped per se, but all they did was their job. They played their music and put on a show, that was probably just a standard set for them.
They're not the ones who boozed and drugged up a quarter-million hung-over, and tired trapped people all day, with high heat, little food and water or bathroom facilities and then ran a musical lineup of up-tempo hard-metal to a disaffected generation.
They keep talking about these events and interviewing the organizers and not really pointing the finger at the right people.
I really wonder if to be an event organizer being a completely out-of-touch idiot is actually in the job description.
Maybe middle-aged white dudes in a downtown office boardroom shouldnt be the ones primarily in charge for designing an event for youths.
