293 - Hair (w/ Natalie Walker) (70s Spectacular - 1979)

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".

R.I.P. James Rado

Photo by Jonathan Slaff We are sad to report the passing of James Rado (James Radomski, 1932-2022) earlier this week. Rado was best known as the writer of the book and lyrics (with partner Jerome Ragni) of the musical Hair (1967-1972), and for originating the part of Claude in that show on Broadway. I wrote about my enthusiasm for Hair here, when composer Galt MacDermott passed away a few years…

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!

♫ Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In ♫

The year was 1969 … the big news was the war in Vietnam, the youth protests, and the musical Hair.  This song, Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In, is a medley of two songs written for Hair by James Rado and Gerome Ragni (lyrics), and Galt MacDermot (music), and released as a single by American R&B group the 5th Dimension. From Wikipedia … The recording was led by veteran American producer and engineer…

Adiós a James Rado, uno de los creadores del mítico “Hair”. El musical hippie generó una exitosa grabación del elenco (años después una película) y se convirtió en fenómeno musical y cultural. 

Solo puedo tener buenas palabras para canciones como “Let The Sunshine In” por Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll & The Trinity, “Ain´t Got No, I Got Life” por Nina Simone o “Hair” en la estupenda versión de los holandeses Zen en 1968.

one of the greatest showtunes ever made methinks

Good morning. 🐢🐢🐢

"Good mornin' starshine, the Earth says hello You twinkle above us We twinkle below'

Ah the 60s, back in the days when singers actually had to be able to grab you with the song and not the visuals. I mean who can forget the immortal lyrics of:

"Glibby gloop gloopy, nibby nabby noopy, la, la, la, lo, lo Sabba sibby sabba, nooby abba nabba, le, le, lo, lo Tooby ooby walla, nooby abba nabba Early mornin' singin' song"

James Rado, Gerome Ragni, and Galt MacDermot wrote Good Morning Starshine. It was recorded by both Oliver and Strawberry Alarm Clock.

Well, I gotta get up and feed the dogs. Charlie was just in here letting me know.

Charlie likes to play chase but his favorite game is 'keep away.' He will loom over his toy and when I reach for it, he will snatch it away and dance around.

“It's hard not to immediately fall in love with a dog who has a good sense of humor.” - Kate DiCamillo, Because of Winn-Dixie
