It would not be surprising, the anti authoritarianism of Woodstock is at least subconsciously libertarian/individualist ... 

Then if people lose their way and "do not teach their children well ...", well, that is another story ... 😉

Back in the 70's almost everyone was a Libertarian. ;-)

A few years ago I started compiling a playlist of songs and artists with Libertarian messages or lyrics and found quite a few, plenty from the 70's and 90's. Mick was not the only one. These are two of my favourites:

And When I Die
Song by Blood, Sweat & Tears
...
...
And when I die and when I'm goneThere'll be one child bornIn this world to carry on, to carry on
Give me my freedom for as long as I beAll I ask of the living is to have no chains on me
All I ask of living is to have no chains on meAnd all I ask of dying is to go naturallyOnly want to go naturally
Here I go, ahHey, hey
...

I’m Free
Song by The Who

I'M FREE- I'm free,
And freedom tastes of reality,
I'm free-I'm free,
AN' I'm waiting for you to follow me
If I told you what it takes
To reach the highest high,
You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple'
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
And no one had the guts to leave the temple!
I'm free-I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free-I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me
