Walking In Space

Bottom/ Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical is a rock musical with a book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot. A product of the hippie counter-culture and sexual revolution of the 1960s, several of its songs became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War peace movement. The musical's profanity, its depiction of the use of illegal drugs, its treatment of sexuality, its irreverence for the American flag, and its nude scene caused much comment and controversy. The musical broke new ground in musical theatre by defining the genre of the "rock musical", utilizing a racially-integrated cast and inviting the audience onstage for a "Be-in" finale. Several of the songs from its score became Top 40 hits, and a successful movie adaptation by Milos Forman was released in 1979. That same year, RCA released the 2-record set Hair - Original Soundtrack Recording. For three nights in September 2007, Joe's Pub and the Public Theater presented a 40th anniversary production of Hair at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park in New York. Demand for the show was overwhelming, as long lines and overnight waits for tickets "dwarfed" other Delacorte productions. Nine months after its concert version, The Public Theater opened Hair in a fully staged production at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, on July 22, 2008. The Public Theatre has announced that the production will transfer to Broadway in 2009. Said co-author James Rado in 2008: "It was a show about now when we did it. Now it's a show about then—but it's still about now." Top/ Sweetheart of the Rodeo is the sixth album by American rock band The Byrds, released on July 29, 1968 on Columbia. Along with Bob Dylan's John Wesley Harding and a handful of other albums, Sweetheart of the Rodeo is one of the seminal recordings of country-rock and remains influential to this day despite being the most commercially unsuccessful album recorded by the group at the time of its release.
