Movie: Isle Of Wight 1970

I present this movie, not to mock; but as abstract of history. This is the actual documentary of the festival — without all the music.

The film shows the clash between the Capitalists, Anarchists and the hippies; who came just to have a good time.

Notable items: The utter hypocrisy of the performers, who all the while saying, “it’s not about the money!”; all the while demanding large sums of cash for their performances. The old man swearing in proper British English, the Festival promoter swearing at the crowd — “You can go to hell!” The nutty baroness — Who the hell was she, anyone know?

It is all rather amusing… and a rather interesting look at our past.

Exit Question: How many of these people are still alive? and how many are in Government in England?

On a Technical Note, there is a section, that is repeated in one of the parts. Be aware of that… No, you’re not tripping; but quite obviously someone was, when they edited this for YouTube! 😉 😀 😛
