293 - Hair (w/ Natalie Walker) (70s Spectacular - 1979)
Tumblr media
The 70s Spectacular comes to a close this week with actress Natalie Walker joining us to discuss 1979 and Milos Forman's adaptation of Hair. The brainchild of Galt MacDermot, Gerome Ragni, and James Redo, Hair took Broadway by storm in the late 1960s for its narrative and political audacity, presenting the free-love and anti-war hippie movement of the time. Forman wanted to bring the musical to the screen after seeing the Off-Broadway production, but wouldn't achieve that goal until after his One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Oscar victory. This delay turned the once ripped-from-the-headlines musical into old news when it eventually became a film.
This episode, we discuss the 2009 Broadway revival and the changes made to the film to give the story a more linear structure. We also discuss the best hair of 1970s cinema, Dustin Hoffman being a monster on the set of Kramer vs. Kramer, and Actors Fund Benefit concerts.
Topics also include the follow-up musical Dude, step and repeat falls, and "gliddy glop gloopy".

The Human Comedy
I bought this soundtrack CD set without having heard a single note of the music, solely on the recommendation that it was both good and highly niche. 
The CD comes with a thin booklet that credits the cast, but certainly no lyrics, and I have almost no idea what the musical/opera is even ABOUT, and am not likely to work that out for a while by just half-listening to some songs. But at least it’s pleasant on the ears!

Post to mark the death of James Rado, co-lyricist of the Broadway hit Hair. Here, from Milos Forman’s film of the show, is Ren Woods’ performance of “Aquarius” with choreography by Twyla Tharp. _______________________________ Aquarius Lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni; Music by Galt MacDermot
When the moon is in the Seventh House And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius The age of Aquarius Aquarius! Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding Sympathy and trust abounding No more falsehoods or derisions Golding living dreams of visions Mystic crystal revalation And the mind's true liberation Aquarius! Aquarius!
When the moon is in the Seventh House And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius The age of Aquarius Aquarius! Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding Sympathy and trust abounding No more falsehoods or derisions Golding living dreams of visions Mystic crystal revalation And the mind's true liberation Aquarius! Aquarius!

MacDermot,  a Canadian who was primarily a jazz musician, (...) blended his obsession with the music of Duke Ellington with that of artists such as Miriam Makeba and Hugh Masekela.
He regarded Hair, which betrays these influences, as “a total funk show”, even though the subject matter of the libretto and songs by Gerome Ragni and James Rado encompassed psychedelic trips, tribal chorales, poignant ballads and the soulful rock splendour of the sensational opening and closing numbers, Age of Aquarius and Let the Sunshine In.
