I enjoy movies, but for musical productions especially I prefer the stage versions. “Hair” is a must see American chronicle—it focuses on hippie and beatnik culture, the storyline reflects images of America that truly have created the foundational paradox of our current cultural vista.

If you cannot see a stage version, then by all means catch a copy of the flick. I saw it onstage as a young adult and I still remember the goosebumps the production inspired—along with the pure grief and angst.

“Hair”, as an psychologically influencing production inadvertantly given to me at a young age, drove me away from a staunch conservative political base intellectually and probably has influenced my social and political philosophy more greatly than any other media production. To the chagrin of my elephant loving parents, I developed sympathy for the mule as a result of this performance piece.

A MUSTSEE, truly, for any social or political inspired lover of philosophy, ethics, or history.

i thought it was gonna some pointless hippie musical, but it wasn’t. i liked the characters, loved the music, and it actually had a good story.
