1967, Monterrey - let's put a whole bunch of tuned-in, turned-on people together in one place to share ideals and talk about our causes, and maybe the idea will spread. And oh yeah, we'll get some musicians to play at the same time, because that would be cool.
2007, Everywhere - let's put a whole bunch of clueless (mostly) musicians together to play music and hopefully hypnotize a few tuned-in, turned-on people to march in step to what we tell them to.
Just a little bit lost in translation over the past 40 years.
NOTE to current generation: the cause should be more important than the music, and the musicians should be truly dedicated to the cause and not just acting stylish.
