Why Bob Dylan hated Woodstock with a passion: “That don’t excite me”We don’t actually remember what the 1960s was like as overwhelmingly, the peace and love age is viewed with the intense rose-tinted lenses, colouring everything pink, painting over the bad bits, and there were a lot of bad bits. That’s part of the reason why so many were so disgusted when Bob Dylan publicly turned his back on protest music. Yet even while Dylan turned his back on trying to help the dark world, he certainly didn’t turn his back on seeing it. However, for the ever-prescient Dylan, a local resident of the actual Woodstock town, he knew this would happen, and he hated it from the second he heard about it. All those people are in computers now.” As perhaps the only artist immune, Dylan never put on the rose-tinted frames.
