She wasn't able to get the intimacy she wanted and launched into the whole "you're acting like a bunch of tourists" speech.

I think you could argue that Woodstock > did more for Joni than the other way around. I don't know if I agree with that. Sure, Woodstock was one of the first events of its kind, if not *the* first. But these lines in particular absolutely captured the essence of what people were feeling and trying to accomplish back then: We are stardust We are golden And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden The whole song captures it brilliantly, and immortalized the event for people who've been born in the generations since who will probably never know an era like that. (Not too many people seem to be interested in getting themselves back to any sort of garden these days, let alone understanding the meaning of "We are stardust / Billion year old carbon.") While the song must have made Joni a fair bit of money over the years, a lot of people still don't recognize that she wrote it ... but they for sure know the song, and, because of the existence of the song, they inquire about an event that is, bit by bit, fading from popular culture.
