In 1969 at Woodstock, near New York a great rock festival attracted nearly half a million young people. Most of them were hippies, who shocked the world with their beards, long hair, old jeans and their calls for peace and love. They came to listen to such new stars as Jimmy Hendrix and Joe Cocker. They sang about the war in Vietnam and about violence in the world. The music performed at Woodstock had a tremendous influence on the development of the culture of the youth. The young people rose in protest against the mercantile society. The ideals of the hippies are still living in many hearts. In the middle of the 1990s the Woodstock festivals were revived. The mid-1970s witnessed great changes in the music. The music became violent and aggressive. Hard rock, heavy metal and punk became popular among the young. Such groups as «Nazareth», «AC/DC», «Kiss», «Black Sabbath» shocked the public by their music and behaviour. Melodies were simple and often unoriginal. Young people would not listen alone to their favourite bands; they would rather have a get-together or a party or go to a club.

3. How many people came to see the festival in Woodstock?

The 20^th century is considered to be the most influential period of time in the development of music. In the 20^th century there were more practicing musicians than in all previous centuries taken together. In the 20^th century there was no mainstream but various styles in music. It is not an easy task to describe these music styles. They reflect the world that was constantly changing. Desires of the people of the 20^th century found their outlet in music. The 20^th century opened a new era in the history of mankind. The rules were left in the past. In the 20^th century everybody could choose the music that he would enjoy. It was exciting in its adventurous freedom. In the 1920s in New Orleans beautiful music filled the streets and cafes. The black and poor singers sang about their hard lives. Their music – jazz, ragtime and blues – soon travelled to Europe. It was the time when the black music entered the whites’ culture changing the lifestyle of the people all over the world. Ever since the 1930s music was not just a way to relax. From that time on music began to reflect and determine the people’s way of life.
