In the United States
The Woodstock Music and Art Fair in 1969 drew more than 450,000 people to a pasture in Sullivan County. For four days, the site became a counter-cultural mini-nation in which minds were open, drugs were all but legal and love was "free". The music began Friday afternoon at 5:07pm August 15th and continued until mid-morning Monday August 18th. The festival closed the New York Thruway and created one of the nation's worst traffic jams. It also inspired a slew of local and state laws to ensure that nothing like it would ever happen again.

The World
The Munich massacre occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, when members of the Israeli Olympics team were taken hostage and eventually murdered by Black September, a militant group with ties to Yasser Arafat's Fatah organization. By the end of the massacre, the group had killed eleven Israeli athletes and coaches and one German police officer. Five of the eight members of Black September were killed by police officers during an abortive rescue attempt. The three surviving members were captured, and were later released by West Germany.

Popular Culture
MTV is an American cable television network based in New York City. The original purpose of the channel was to play music videos guided by on-air hosts known as VJs. Since its premiere, MTV has revolutionized the music industry. The idea of a dedicated video-based outlet for music was introduced, and both artists and fans found a central location for music events, new, and promotion. MTV has also been referenced countless times in popular culture by musicians, other TV channels and shows, films, and books.

Technology
Video games were introduced as a commercial entertainment medium in 1971, becoming a basis for an important entertainment industry in the late 1970s/early 1980s in the United States, Japan, and Europe. After a disastrous industry collapse in 1983 and a reproduction two years later, the video game industry has experienced growth for over two decades to become a $10 billion industry, which rivals the motion picture industry as the most profitable entertainment industry in the world.

Fashion
The decade began with continuation of the hippie look from the 1960s. Jeans remained frayed, and the Tie dye was still popular. In the autumn of 1970, ankle length dresses called maxis made a brief appearance. These were topped by fitted coats of the same length. The space-age look was on the wane, although tunics and Indian fabrics continued to be popular. Jeans rises shrunk to 4 inches or even less as hip huggers with bell-bottoms became the height of denim fashion. Altering the appearance of jeans with bleach and tie-dye techniques, embroidery, and metal studs was popular as well. Polyester doubleknit fabric was coming into its own, with many clothing items for men and women being produced in this modern easy-care fabric.

Sports
The 1970 Green Bay Packers season was their 50st season in the National Football League. The club posted a 6-8 record under coach Phil Bengston, earning them a 3rd place finish in the NFC Central division. The Packers' 1970 season was played in a state of mourning. After a summer in and out of Georgetown Hospital, Vince Lombardi succumbed to Cancer on September 3, at the age of 57. Over 3,500 people attended Lombardi's funeral, including pallbearers Bart Starr, Paul Hornong and Willie Davis. Three days after his death, NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle announced that the Super Bowl trophy would be renamed in Lombardi's honor.
