There is nothing anyone could say or do that would get me to visit NYC. Went once almost 25 years ago and have no desires to go back, ever.

Sounds like a super spreader event to me. And I hope the cops will be able to handle all the Amish fans. Guess I won't go.

An amazing lineup, back in the 1980s when these bands had their original members and were at their peak.

Wow, talentless modern musicians, and washed-up stars from generations ago (including groups that probably still have one original member from their hey day, but still use the name).
So basically nothing like Woodstock (as far as the music at least). I'm sure the smell will be very similar to Woodstock though!!!

I don't think there should be any gatherings with all these variants. It seems the communists don't get variants, and never receive what they deserve.

Dang, I missed the first one - but I was busy at the time dropping napalm on commies and dodging ground fire. All those folks at the first one somehow found something better to do.....

It is a stimulus plan and income redistribution scheme...he expects to draw 100,000 or so into town, have all of the cops busy directing traffic, making sure no one gets in without tickets, gaurding VIPs...and then EVERY crook and creep from the greater gotham Metro area in place outside to rob them.

I hope it rains buckets on this event. Plus the lack of talent that will not come close to Woodstock.

The original Woodstock was held during the Hong Kong Flu. No one cared.

Aren't we still worried about the incredibly virulent Delta variant? How will they keep us unvaxxed murderers of society out? Will the sainted vaxxed wear their status on their lapel for all to see?
Every time one of these commies does something like this, right in the face of the endless drone of doom and gloom about COVID, tells me we are being scammed 100%. If they were that worried, would they do this? Would they have held the Olympics at all?
They KNOW this is bullsht, and they are just playing control games with the population to see what they can and can't get away with, and who will push back.

Big stars of the day did NOT show up for Woodstock, they were mostly b-stringers at the time.

I am sure that all of the feral sons of Obama will show up in their full glory. Their female counterparts will surely join in. Any attempt to interfere with the feral's will be met with BLM and ANTIFA resistance to law enforcement's obviously racist attempt to suppress their "free speech" rights to assault and batter those oppressive concert goers. Police will be overwhelmed and DeBlasio will be clueless as to why.

And to think Jimmy Carter got rid of the neutron bomb. Actually the Clinton’s likely sold the blueprints to the Chi Coms for donations.

This announcement has brought joy and rapture - - to the streets of East New York, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Harlem, Far Rockaway, and the South Bronx.
All the gangbangers and drug dealers have vowed to never commit another crime. New York City is SAVED!

I'm with the group that sponsors a big one day street fair in central PA. This is the 2nd year the event was canceled. The reason for this year? The decision-makers could not be assured that there would be sufficient police, EMTs, undercover, security forces.
