[Mb-hair] Re: My wife's first time watching the Hair movie

[richard haase]

I did not care for the movie at all
and I think the play is the greatest piece of theater ever written in modern
times
in any genre

and i was there
although i was a 10 year old widget going to see HAIR for my birthday
and sucking on an ice pop
and listening to grace bumbry sing carmen

peace
