What governs the shaping of our perceptions of pyramids is obviously a much long and more complex process than what shapes the memory of Woodstock.
In these recent matters, the basic rule seems quite simple: capitalism keeps and translates what it can use. "Historical memory results from a consensus of those with power enough to shape it and vested interests great enough to move them to exercise that power." Obviously, the radical content is going to be "forgotten" and the marketable cool retained. Woodstock was marketable for the Pepsi Generation that wanted to buy the world a Coke and be a Dr. Pepper maverick.
