Europe's biggest rock fest opens in Poland
WARSAW/KOSTRZYN - More than 50,000 Polish rock fans converged on Kostrzyn on Poland's border withGermany Friday and tens of thousands more were expected for a weekend of rock n' roll at what has become Europe's largest summer open-air music festival. Harking back to the 1969 hippie-era "peace and love" Woodstock festival in New York state, Poland's Woodstock Station has promoted the philosophy of "Love!, Friendship! Music!" since its inception in 1995.
Its critics, including Roman Catholic youth groups, argue the festival has more in common with the sinister "sex, drugs and rock n' roll" overdose ethos which plagued youth culture during the 1960s.
