Lucy Dacus (lucydacus) writes New York Times (nytimes) op-ed about Woodstock (woodstockfest) and its recently canceled 50th anniversary celebration:
Dacus mentioned the often-forgotten death of Raymond Mizsak, how the land Woodstock was held on most likely belonged to the indigenous Lenape tribe and the violent history behind Woodstock ‘99, writing:
Hundreds of years before the festival, the land where Woodstock was hosted was likely the domain of the indigenous Lenape tribe. At the festival, 17-year-old Raymond Mizsak was run over by a tractor in his sleep and killed. The attempt to recreate the festival at Woodstock ’99 was marked by violence, destruction, rape and arson.
The indie-rock singer-songwriter and boygenius member also explained that she recognized Woodstock’s cultural significance and was “honored” when she, Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker were “asked to play the 50th anniversary event,” saying she’s “sad that it isn’t happening,” but that reevaluating the history of the festival is still crucial for younger generations.
While Dacus can never remember Woodstock firsthand, she emphasized how an anniversary event such as Woodstock 50 is a “call-to-action” and everyone involved should “re-examine” its past.

‘New York Times’ Amends Recent ‘Hero Trump Disarms Would-Be Shooter’ HeadlineNEW YORK—Following backlash from journalists, politicians, and the public, The New York Times announced Tuesday that it had amended a headline from the morning’s front page reading “Hero Trump Disarms Would-Be Shooter.” “The original headline did not live up to our standards of objectivity at The New York Times and has thus been changed to ‘Trump Gives Speech’ in order to more accurately represent the president’s recent actions,” said executive editor Dean Baquet in response to criticism that the piece inaccurately framed the president as a champion of racial harmony and lionhearted hero who acted alone to stop a white national terrorist plot. “We were wrong to imply that President Trump courageously rushed into an active-shooter situation inside a Washington, D.C. gas station, held the gunman in a chokehold until he dropped his weapon, and then provided first-aid to casualties, thus single-handedly preventing more bloodshed. We deeply regret intimating that the shooter realized the error of his ways and denounced his bigoted beliefs after a tough-love conversation with Mr. Trump. Readers will see that these statements have been retracted from the second edition.” At press time, the new headline, “Trump Gives Speech” had been changed to “Unifier-In-Chief Provides Hope To Fractured Nation.”
