| Description |
"Hair, the self-styled 'tribal love-rock musical'... is not so much a story, as an inane presentation of an allegedly revoulutionary lifestyle, largely composed of getting stoned and fondling one's peers. Apart from its anti-Vietnam war sentiments, the notoriety of this late 1960s American musical obviously stemmed from now-obsolescent shock tactics, like on-stage love-ins." |
