What defines my generation is largely antithetical to what defined the Woodstock generation. We are a generation of digital technology.

While some may find it acceptable to be a generation defined by technology, I do not and cannot. It's not that I am terribly technophobic. I am just cynical about the way technology cheapens and deadens the human experience of life as we know it.

My generation desperately needs to give itself permission to find its soul, its purpose, and what it would like to live for.

We need to begin to author the culture of our times, and if another Woodstock is what it takes, I will be there to share the land, to send a message to love. to raise my hand, and to experience the other side of this life.
