It's 2:30 in the morning and I'm wide awake because I'm ruminating over the fact that this man hung dong on stage at Woodstock '99 while rioters set fire to an audio tower. None of that sounds real but I am actually underselling this 100% true sequence of events.

They forgot to censor it at the 7:30 mark if you want to see a couple seconds of Flea helicoptering his penis. Also, they asked backstage for the band to calm the crowd down so of course their last song was a cover of Hendrix's "Fire" while the camera kept cutting to fires lol youtu.be/6UngHEwjBsw

I always knew Woodstock '99 was a shitshow but I never knew WHAT made it a shitshow. The short answer is corporate greed. More specifically, they upcharged concessions, outsourced utilities (water/sewage/garbage) to the lowest bidding contractors, hired untrained teens for security.

They held it on a former military airbase so the entire festival was built on a tarmac with no shade. So it really sucked that the entire weekend was during a 90+ degree Fahrenheit heat wave. Also, the water stations all got contaminated with sewage and most broke completely by day 2.
