With all that's going on in the world, does anyone HERE think it would have been a good idea to blow ONE MILLION DOLLARS(No doubt more) on a Woodstock museum? Why?

Sure... Woodstock was a cultural and political phenomenon that certainly deserves commemoration. Perhaps, once the museum is completed, you'll visit and learn why it was important...

Depends...Are we talking the concert or the bird? Cause I've always been kind of fond of the bird ;)

I think it would be. Woodstock was a key event in the history of live events, it was HUGE and deserves, imo at least, some kind of permanent memory. 1 million dollars is not all that much money atm (OK, so it is still more than I am ever likely to see but...) and I am sure that money would be completely refunded very quickly should it ever happen (visitors fees ect).

Gods no! Use it to open shelters for the homeless whose doors have been closed due to the financial crunch. Use it to feed families who are going hungry and often homeless because of the job loss in so many States. Use it to help someone who is dying of an illness and cannot afford the medications and treatment to save his or her life. You get the idea.

Yes. One million dollars is nothing compared to $255 million spent EVERY DAY on the war in Iraq. The fact that certain senators approved of this measure is a testament to its insignificance as an amount in the grand scheme. It would be built eventually, and if not now, when? It improves the culture of the nation and marks a piece of history. All for less than the cost of 6 minutes in Iraq.

Yeah. Why not? We could spend it to build one more cruise missile. Would that be good? I think a Woodstock museum is better.

Woodstock was a happier time, I believe, and I support keeping alive the knowledge of why it happened and what made it such a great event. The million dollars will be earned back in visitors' fees and gift shop sales, and the service to the population will be very positive by letting future generations learn about the event that changed a generation. Since the type of concert/campout/drugfest isn't happening now, like it used to, it will be a memorial to a briefly unique way of life.

no, Woodstock was a true tragedy and why remember our mistakes and dedicate a museum to commercialism?

I have absolutely no problem with any amount of money (no matter how large) being spent on a Woodstock Museum, so long as that money comes from private sources, not the public till.
