Hair (1979) Jon Savage, Treat Williams, Beverly D'Angelo
The Miloš Forman-directed film. Grew up with the music but until now had never actually seen either the film or a stage production. I mean, I've seen a production the over-rated Rent back when the former Oedipussy Regina got us season tickets to the local off-off-off-Broadway theater. (Watch the Lindsay Ellis video essay on the youtubes for a better summary than I could give about its vapidness. Although the "Everybody's got AIDS" scene from Team America: World Police was a pretty good commentary, too.) Hair? A much better story that actually has some substance beyond "War is bad"/"AIDS is Bad."
Fun Fact #6284451: Mrs. Garret was the lady in pink.
