Spoiler Alert – This post will discuss the documentary Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage and might contain some information you haven’t yet uncovered about this event. You might wish to skip this post if you haven’t watched this documentary.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I watched Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage, a documentary on, yes, you guessed it, the Woodstock 99 music festival. (grins)
One of the things I found interesting was how history had repeated.
The original Woodstock was as much of a sh*t show as Woodstock 99 was.
Literally.
Bathroom facilities weren’t sufficient at the festivals. Feces was everywhere.
And figuratively.
People died at the original Woodstock. There were a LOT of sexual assaults. The county it was held in declared a state of emergency. The Air Force had to transport performers to and from the site. They were dang close to calling in the National Guard.
The founders of Woodstock 99, like many Baby Boomers, had, unfortunately, romanticized the original Woodstock. They remembered only the best parts – the music, the feeling of togetherness, the freedom.
Which would have been fine.
Rewriting history is what humans tend to do. We curate our recollections.
Except it meant the founders didn’t correct the original festival’s mistakes. They were repeated.
Which is, again, what humans tend to do.
That is reality.
In the stories we read, we judge characters who repeat past mistakes harshly.
We expect them to learn and to change. Maybe the characters make different mistakes. But they never make the same mistake twice.

Strive For Forever
This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.
Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.
Soon, she’ll die.
Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.
Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.
While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.
The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.
There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.
And she is in danger.
Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.
Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
