A Disaster Area

Officials (and everyone else, in general) were shocked by the news surrounding the conditions that the concert-goers survived. The event had some serious repercussions, and the then-State Governor Nelson Rockefeller declared the small town a disaster area.

It gave a different side to the story, and that doesn’t even scratch the surface, considering there were parents who were worried about what their kids had gone through. On the other hand, the attendees were simply in it for the spirit of love and peace against the backdrop of good rock and roll music.
