Woodstock in Inherent Vice

[Mark Kohut]

Beyond literal allusions or playlist artists, which are lacking as has been pointed out, might we all (mostly)
agree that Woodstock, the event, is thematically the 'Beach'
in the epigraph and pervades in other words and concepts in IV? 

Younger guy than a Boomer in Wash Post wrote that it was Mitchell's song and the movie that created the Myth of Woodstock. The reality was a muddy mess.

 I wrote him that No, it was the happy muddy mess, like pigs in mud, that created the truth of the myth. That from the beginning, front-page NYTimes
story (and other papers, I guess) knew that a Major Event had happened. A major transvaluation of values in full display, to use a Nietzschean phrase.
