How the F**k Did This Happen?

The 1999 fest takes a hard swerve away from 1969 Woodstock co-creator Michael Lang's vision with a military base locale, profit focus and toxic vibe.

Tainted water and price gouging mar day three. Fear grips the finale, fires spread, and the mob takes over. Later, sexual assault allegations emerge.

This documentary mini-series was well done, as least as far as I watched. I confess I stopped watching it during the second of three episodes, but not due to any quality issue. Like I said, it was fine. But I determined that the subject didn’t interest me as much as I thought it would. It didn’t help that the bands they hired for the festival were almost all of no interest to me. But I will say that if you like band their lineup, were present at the actual event, or if you are a student of musical history you should find it interesting. Certainly anyone who even considers yet another spinoff on the idea of a Woodstock should watch this program and be warned off. Indeed, perhaps Trainwreck can be utilized as a primer on how not to run a music festival.
