Good Hair Days: A Personal Journey With The American Tribal Love-rock Musical Hair

by Jonathan Johnson

HAIR --a musical revolution that defined a generation. Seen by over 30 million people in its first 4 years, it became a cultural phenomenon and a worldwide success. It rocked and shocked the world and was the training ground for many of today's biggest stars. Good HAIR Days , written by original cast member Jonathon Johnson, offers an insider's look into the Broadway musical HAIR . Johnson is joined by original producer Michael Butler and over 25 original cast members who share their stories. HAIR was more than just a show, it was a message of love and peace that survived strong denunciations and controversies that exploded once the show went on the road. Many threats followed, some which were tragically carried out. Join the HAIR tribe as the cast and crew lived it. Good HAIR Days covers these events and reintroduces the world to HAIR's messages, which are just as valid today as they were in 1968. An honest and accurate view of the production history, Good HAIR Days is filled with touching personal stories, original cast lists, and many humorous events that offer a refreshing glimpse into the psychedelic 60's and 70's.

I bought this after watching the Hair documentary that has been playing on Sundance. The doc was good....this book is not. I should give the guy a break, as he is clearly not a writer and the small publishing house also clearly did not give him an editor - the typos and poor grammar are distracting. He also doesn't give enough detail, making it seem like he was writing it for his friends "remember when this happened" But the good part is that at the end of the book there are many memories from other cast meembers that were entertaining.
