cool tv show the nice exists or then

8:14

with the actors who had met while performing

8:18

for here's a combination of some characters we met

8:20

in the streets poo poo people who

8:22

is to both boosts people

8:24

we knew and our own imaginations ever even five

8:26

minutes up a we knew this was given the east

8:29

village who were dropping out and dodging the draft

8:31

in there were also lots of articles in the press about how

8:33

kids were being kicked out of school for growing their hair loss

8:58

during which multiple highly successful regional

9:00

and international pressures are also launch the

9:02

humidity view at can in

9:05

the festival nineteen seventy eight i assume it's

9:07

i'm sure one every single one of the us

9:10

oh sorry sorry if i'm a when all

9:12

of the oscars if for which it was nominated as

9:14

well seeing as how it's a fair of yourself

9:17

yeah i i don't i actually don't know

9:19

if it was nominated for if it was nominated

9:21

for

9:21

no the giant think it was how how the

9:24

your yearly

9:26

getting the second guess myself here and like

9:28

this this is a movie and classes

9:30

online about then sometimes

9:32

looking everything else sometimes you are have you ever

9:34

such consider how the way you talk hurts me

9:36

on

9:37

it's true i'm sorry my apologies

9:39

my bad

9:40

ah here

9:42

opened and i edited gone

9:44

through so many changes like in the public theater which

9:46

is famously were hamilton made it's debut

9:48

and it's the public's leaders

9:49

no doubt about it

9:50

lord to a theater and and getting things

9:54

eyeballs that they might have gotten otherwise it

9:56

haven't seen so many times on people were displaced

9:58

who who had originally signed onto we're like this is incomprehensible

10:01

and i don't know how we're going to make this work love

10:03

it so go faster and a lot and then when

10:05

it made its debut on broadway it was just like such

10:07

a smash hit like that

10:10

a oppression in london and opened and the next

10:12

year i'm year production in france

10:14

open to the next year and year production in

10:16

munich open to the next year and meanwhile there were also

10:18

running also production in forget fit with san francisco

10:21

or los angeles that was also highly

10:23

successful it was like it was like the phantom of the opera

10:25

but stay in terms of just the

10:27

played immediately just like

10:29

henry internal dog shit oh how

10:31

to me

10:35

i did not invite listening negativity

10:37

my ign is intimate same how

10:40

does hair you like that

10:41

ah

10:43

cackling reduce his aging me or

10:46

my hair greg's but i'm yeah

10:48

do you agree

10:50

i'd almost like a bunch of the people

10:52

that had started neither the broadway production

10:54

or or any of these productions you had people like

10:56

i'm diane keaton with me original

10:58

broadway cast meatloaf was an

11:00

the only

11:02

i think bruce springsteen had famously audition

11:05

for hair and didn't even want to be at the others were on

11:07

and like a media they got turned down ah

11:09

donna summer was the original german

11:11

production of it he added this and for the new york

11:13

one anything we can open it in in germany

11:15

for us so like they're simply names

11:17

attached to this the and ah yes

11:20

it really is one of the says that like i used to think

11:22

was just like kind of a d did period

11:25

piece ah and they are thinking

11:27

about it again and in and seeing the two thousand nine

11:29

a broadway revival of it was so i enjoyed

11:32

it immensely but like you're ,

11:34

about in the contest some what broadway was like in

11:36

nineteen sixty seven and the things that

11:38

this show touches upon now i

11:40

haven't seen the movie in a long time and i remember being

11:42

very different from the state so ah

11:44

billings it's been like i'm like damn like they really did something

11:46

amongst one of it's most nurse and tories things

11:49

at the end of the first that everyone got naked with

11:51

us like

11:52

read love it

11:53

yeah there's been some kids everywhere

11:55

and like it was as

11:57

the nine and toilet

11:58

the do i but like everyone was

11:59

the were fucking liar either like yeah

12:02

right well that's why would only really smelled

12:04

so bad

12:06

the point where the sunshine and i

12:08

don't know let's them

12:09

and you know and a player who

12:11

is grow

12:11

yeah hear more like booties bank

12:14

but i'm yeah so like quite quite

12:16

the cultural phenomenon on again

12:18

i'm a huge fan of or history

12:20

and our good like how do

12:22

i think about here if using such a different show to me because

12:25

i'm a lot of the

12:27

stage show is is mostly just

12:29

kind of vignettes of this tribe

12:31

of people airing their grievances against a ton

12:33

of things about sixties culture

12:35

and not just the war but like drug

12:38

usage and usage and and and

12:41

marriage and in and gender

12:43

expression and homosexuality

12:46

as they would have said in nineteen sixty seven

12:48

all things that we've mentioned have been solved

12:50

and are no problem anymore right

12:53

exactly when it when it's only sixty guys

12:55

yeah honestly

12:56

exactly like people just having

12:58

to go and fight a war they don't believe in

13:00

wait i was going to be really dated

13:02

when we watch it it's not as irrelevance at all

13:04

dated arm i did hillary

13:06

listen to the to the two thousand and nine a

13:09

cast a corny of it again as like damn in

13:11

here maybe kind of still rules i don't i

13:13

don't else

13:13

in my roka

13:15

it is i am interest in watching

13:17

the movie just because as i said like of them that stage

13:19

version is kind of notoriously

13:22

not incomprehensible but it is

13:24

a lot of just kind of

13:25

barrett applied but it's a very loose

13:27

i'll i'll sort of is a sort of revered

13:29

sellers and sort of like oh

13:31

thing that people don't like or are they easy to put

13:33

on shows do a lot of people put the my in

13:35

your knowledge of theater people like this

13:37

or kind of hybrid air sort of like a

13:39

easy so to put on in terms of like it doesn't

13:42

have a huge technical the

13:44

man into a lot of it is just like you

13:46

are in like whether you want to pretend it's central park

13:48

or when just some empty space where

13:51

all these lake these are

13:53

just exist and like and

13:55

it and it lends itself to a lot of artistic

13:58

interpretation like

14:00

okay a lot of their a lot of its sequences

14:03

that are just like hallucinations

14:05

or on just yeah people to kind

14:07

of standing and singing their grievances

14:09

to you know

14:10

an audience i'm getting the sensor this

14:12

kind of falls until jesus christ

14:15

superstar fucking zana do

14:17

major you're going around is

14:19

it like in that that sort of verse realm

14:22

as the world is

14:23

when i played releasing

14:25

to hear i think this is the show that interlude weber actually

14:27

the wanted to write okay

14:30

arise

14:30

i figured it out his way he never

14:32

quite sick season doing which is sounding like

14:35

actual youth culture music at the time

14:37

the go

14:38

but but respecting it all the same

14:41

very very good as we are doing are little bit of research

14:43

on this leonard everyone like have to

14:45

have seen this that was like was music

14:47

writer in theater heated theater

14:50

like leonard bernstein was like all the songs are just

14:52

are little songs and i hate them all apparently

14:54

john lennon he did this ah

14:56

hi john lennon

14:58

i know you would want to have that john lennon the leader

15:00

of the youth culture and again this

15:02

is a nineteen sixty seven so the beatles still have like

15:04

a thing going on here and i love

15:06

your economy very interesting that

15:08

he saw this as like it sucks and

15:10

i am sure was from some sort of weird like theater

15:12

of the bourgeoisie perspective that he

15:15

had even though you are literally a member of

15:17

the beetle caused by

15:18

yeah right yeah tell me about

15:20

a rag rag me and rato are they

15:22

guys that like went on to do bunch of other

15:24

shit that he would know our this is mostly

15:27

getting divorced mostly they're saying that they are known

15:29

for an yaneth

15:31

they pretty friendly i don't don't think they've really

15:34

ever written any things like this ever again very

15:36

funny where the

15:39

composer of the music a gopnik

15:41

garments when he had an approach to

15:43

write music for this he was like i never

15:45

met a hippie at this point like i had short

15:47

hair and like a lives in i think

15:49

hoboken new jersey and dislikes no

15:52

connection whatsoever to wet

15:54

hair was about and image

15:57

of thing about this movie version of it is that

16:00

the couple the raiders he did he

16:03

hated add really say that i was

16:05

a disservice to what they were ratings so again

16:07

with that in mind which i did not know when i first

16:09

seen hair and when i'd seen you know subsequently

16:11

stage productions of it i'm i am interested

16:14

what's this now knowing

16:16

that as a piano both the show and a fan

16:18

of milos forman as a filmmaker

16:19

okay yeah erm anything

16:21

else that you want to discuss or should we just go

16:23

ahead and

16:25

i reckon i was you just go like

16:27

free fall right into the hair throw ourselves

16:30

with his enemy one last thing that

16:32

this that this in nineteen seventy nine you know

16:34

twelve years

16:35

after yeah we're working

16:37

or her were about

16:38

the reaganism so i'm just also very

16:40

curious to see how it how it plays you know

16:42

it's interesting to think of this coming out

16:44

around the same time as apocalypse now i

16:47

raise it here's here's something that's like a happens

16:49

years after like the initial conflict

16:51

that was being discussed in the ground was like us

16:54

for the first time you're looking back at like oh

16:56

this is wouldn't really meant to be like a hippie are meant

16:58

to be like in vietnam and maybe they're right

17:00

now revisionists but a sort of

17:02

critical when that you can look at it as the time

17:04

i'm totally just guess yes like

17:07

it really wouldn't tell us

17:08

yeah it's one of the things we're kind of contains

17:11

every cliche about anything made about

17:13

vietnam and youth culture at the time but

17:16

also like to protect

17:18

itself was written during the time so i'd like it

17:20

added a little i'd it's it's strange

17:23

to me i will say oh one last thing george

17:25

lucas was originally approached to directness

17:27

and at

17:28

it really oh the a half years after

17:30

he made a american graffiti or something you know

17:33

how to do the youth cultures that sounds it's that

17:35

yeah exactly and that was they make that line

17:37

the thinking barefoot environment

17:39

the i could see that

17:40

yeah i can honestly see george lucas

17:42

making hairs if only for chewbacca

17:45

it also has

17:47

32:45

everyone starts seeing what the sunshine and and

32:47

then they slowly start leaving

32:49

the seeds and you seen american flag draped

32:51

on the floor and clods dead bodies leg

32:53

lying on it and

32:54

where he died in that one

32:56

that like supplied is the one who dies at the end

32:58

arms and legs yeah everyone's

33:00

leading the seeds in like the as

33:03

, soon they becoming more discordant

33:06

and like floaty and then like it's

33:08

a sit with his leg and like to it's

33:10

make a big audience was getting into like clapping

33:12

alone yuppie and and then wager

33:14

is is revealed club dead body on the american

33:16

flag and that's how it ends and with and it's

33:19

as i say like is i am thought

33:21

about an air in in a in

33:24

way and seeing the movie as like

33:26

a thirteen year old when i saw

33:28

that production of hair and saw that again i'm not

33:30

thought about here until we start talking about it now

33:32

pretty much civil i literally got a haircut

33:34

this morning operation for the second

33:37

that guy you guys scoliosis

33:40

this scoliosis like some next level

33:42

in character yeah yeah you medicine

33:44

you didn't are like a real method actor and tables

33:46

he insists he can talk about the movie harris

33:49

but i yes as so and

33:51

like in in a seed shows sheila is not

33:53

a debutante she's in the tribe of hippies

33:55

to but she suddenly like see for i know a freshman at

33:57

n y u c come summer like you

33:59

know a middle class background and presumably

34:02

and is more like action focus than anybody

34:04

else in this league prime billing

34:06

yes and but i yeah so that's

34:08

that's basically the plot of here the stayed sober says

34:11

he says

34:12

these you prefer the movie plot

34:14

or the the musical plot is from what i've

34:16

understood

34:17

i'd i do prefer the movie to i

34:19

mean actually i haven't seen of his physical therapist

34:22

on so to be it it makes

34:24

sense that you would start claude story about

34:26

like he's going into the draft and

34:28

then having a bit trying to see

34:30

like this

34:31

the effect does

34:33

the a heavy sort of trying to like sort of

34:35

change his mind there hasn't really worked

34:37

ah or say like the acid trip being something

34:39

that so if you're fanatic but it doesn't

34:41

like free island tournament like this hippie

34:44

he's or as it's very interesting

34:46

is usually what you would see like oh my god likes

34:48

free love and peace and really all ended with

34:50

sort of heighten his own experiences like you said like

34:52

all these different things these come into contact with which i

34:54

think is a truer a

34:57

true a version of like what it is to trip on psychedelic

34:59

so sam

35:02

now know many year

35:04

the podcast has ever done anything illegal i want to

35:06

make that yeah they are snobs

35:09

ah ah know what i

35:11

think i prefer the stage versions of because like it

35:13

comes to the same kenneth lay

35:15

the conclusion that clubs character has

35:17

like this kind of being like i guess

35:19

terrified and overwhelmed by the world because

35:21

there's all this like the all these no new

35:23

free ideas been presented to him but it it does not negate

35:26

the world that you know he lives in an

35:29

ivory i officially when you're at like especially

35:31

because like and it's a deadly emphasized that these

35:33

kids are very young in the same show

35:35

like these are liga burgers a high school

35:38

dropout you know like like they're young

35:40

and like all these new ideas being thrown at you

35:42

when you have like such little control of your life

35:44

and to you want to do

35:47

meaningful dissidents or like

35:49

you know burden you draft card and potentially going to jail

35:51

as tear it like like that like

35:53

yeah you're right the some

35:55

doesn't really they plan to that

35:57

and so like in the stage

35:59

show we're quite as has swung monologue

36:01

about wanting to be invisible like that to me

36:03

like like the really i

36:06

went and we watched like neighbors

36:08

say it's it's it's i watched the boots

36:11

of a the two thousand nine production after

36:13

watching the movie again and just like

36:15

this idea of like wanting to be invisible because

36:17

you're overwhelmed by the world

36:19

the it again althea on

36:21

a stagger they double

36:22

i'm like it's going

36:24

to like so much discourse about like you know people

36:26

who fought in vietnam war and now like a miracle

36:28

looked at them and other world with them and stuff like that

36:30

but to sli being like sli i'd add another colleague

36:33

back into this corner where you

36:35

know one option is to you know skew

36:37

everything that you've known and and the other option is

36:39

just like i don't want to go to see her

36:41

house and your ah

36:44

and not really having i don't know when you're eighteen

36:46

like you're a kenyan it hello

36:48

legs yeah yeah yeah i i'd

36:50

eat we are like we're all adults here thinking

36:52

about us at eighteen is embarrassing you know

36:54

that's what the fuck did you know at eighty

36:55

listen i was exchanging

36:58

musicals on what was

37:00

it or , entitled

37:02

to see the atlanta journal or as

37:05

i live journal within an hour i was hour

37:07

for and get apps

37:08

oh yeah no because they get are at school

37:10

that's pretty cool

37:12

no one's cooler than people in arts know

37:14

when i mean more respected instigate

37:18

ah nirvana like

37:20

everly eat when you're eighteen like you don't

37:22

know anything and just like that cosmic idea

37:25

of not knowing anything and

37:27

that being abused you know leg

37:29

they are here before making huge huge

37:31

decision rally it's even adults

37:33

who are like you know our age would advocate really hard

37:35

time ray you know probably trying to navigate

37:37

it let alone somebody who hasn't had twenty years of life

37:40

experience rise out of whatever they are their

37:42

houses are to navigate the israel morality

37:44

and

37:44

pre like you know everyone has like therapy

37:46

and we talked to people about things you know

37:48

how young he don't like like kids are more

37:51

exposed to sit there like i guess their

37:53

parents wouldn't have expose them to

37:55

in the sixties i'm at ces

37:57

yeah like that like wanting to disappear

38:00

the understand that feeling you know just wind to be invisible

38:02

like but when the irony of that is like yeah you

38:04

just become like another faceless dead body

38:07

in lake

38:08

the machine right now see a fucking things

38:10

and hour for nothing

38:11

for nothing exactly exactly and so like i

38:14

l a again i hadn't really thought about hand

38:16

for the longest some is like his hair kind of a relic and

38:18

i honestly like sitting and watching both versions

38:20

of this i enjoyed them both for different reasons

38:23

and was like honestly kind of

38:24

right under a system of idea

38:26

i have to say so the my interpretation

38:29

of this then again you can sort

38:31

of argue but i'm just going be like with the text

38:33

of the film was sorry i saw that will

38:35

was interesting is is that burger

38:37

goes from being this totally

38:40

as we said selfish terrible person say

38:42

who like it doesn't do anything for anyone

38:44

who to in some ways

38:47

kind of be redeemed because he

38:49

does actually kind of sacrifice

38:51

himself for his friends yeah yeah like

38:54

is the you know again if you're going to tax

38:56

the so met any point he could have just been like hey

38:58

i'm not fucking abroad i'm burger

39:01

ring swapped out like this is all be huge

39:03

misunderstanding he doesn't

39:05

do it like he's freaked out and he's confused

39:07

and he's just sort of for sort of goes along with it but clearly

39:10

just i don't know if eat it obviously i don't think

39:12

he does abuses a good person he's

39:15

just he's like mack gray about it is like i'm not going to fucking

39:17

snitch in my out my friend email

39:20

and fucking trouble that it was just

39:22

like don't ask me shit like i'll just go so

39:24

in some ways he transcends like this

39:26

person who has who has it couldn't call

39:28

it would she doesn't even really but he thinks he has x he

39:30

subscribes to some sort of ideology about being a to hippie

39:33

survey and instead just as the thing

39:35

that's like a great sacrifice for his friend with

39:37

the guy that the he's only met like whatever

39:39

two or three days before but rest you

39:42

know you get the sense that he's like okay he really did

39:44

kind of care about claude in some way

39:46

because like you didn't still go

39:48

i mean again part of it is like you don't know if he's

39:50

the how much of this is him being an asshole and selfish

39:52

how much of it is like maybe did care on some level

39:54

but he does crash the debutante ball

39:56

nigga seem to be like this guy this about to go fucking

39:58

die for you relief you

40:00

can do is let him at least get like get a gays

40:02

and then he also rallies everybody to go to fucking sick

40:05

all the way to nevada received on to the staying

40:07

in lay it it sort of like i'm of two minds

40:09

about it like i don't necessarily think he's totally

40:11

terrible and bad so now i

40:14

have he does do some of this dust

40:15

the think he's a very like i'm and

40:17

to say at heater free like

40:19

a confused young person who has ideals

40:22

not only those ideals kind of sort

40:24

of now we now but like express themselves

40:26

and like the actions that he does because you're a yeah he just

40:29

he's the one that wants to see clot out and vegas

40:31

before or nevada rather before

40:33

yeah he said it yourself as you would have

40:35

had no desire is it wouldn't have done any other re

40:37

re route to see your get high but he does

40:39

ooh and he said follow through and then take

40:42

i mean a great i don't think he understands the risk

40:44

when you seeking the rest easy so flippant

40:46

about everything anything relics who have

40:48

a keys evenly mean stupid faces when isn't the

40:50

barracks like who who who dress opportunity

40:53

to and race or a arabia at no

40:55

point understands the consequences for

40:57

and i guess that's sort of the point that like

41:00

that that that the the benefit of like

41:02

having done this so i'm like whatever ten years

41:04

or something after sanguine had helped me

41:06

happy is this kids probably didn't really understand

41:08

that cause you're right seventeen eighteen and you're invincible

41:10

and nothing will ever affect the array

41:12

right i don't see that take away as a kind of this

41:14

a screen with mine and i think that is like the same

41:16

thing or us these are just people

41:18

who are young and don't understand

41:21

the consequences the machine they

41:23

can't get

41:23

it i think the main thing that i liked was like

41:25

it when it ended up becoming about and

41:27

again i don't know this is just people can argue

41:29

with he said this reading and you're too much

41:31

but like i took it away at the thing i took away from it

41:33

was

41:34

the ended up ultimately doing something for his friend

41:36

right right a wasn't about like the

41:39

social movement it wasn't a machine or was

41:41

about on his own thing which you know are all the

41:44

it was sort of thing of they're all valid thing so

41:46

fight for really you know concerns

41:48

to have but i think it's like it went from being this big

41:51

political thing to something that was like a much more

41:53

it and as infamous salary

41:55

that your face i mean in a small sacrifices

41:58

or life but like it was about this relationship

41:59

nice guy yeah i'm being like okay you

42:02

really believe that this guy couldn't

42:04

go any and having himself and as that i was

42:06

at and i was an interesting twist sinister was a good

42:08

really i think it's interesting ending of yeah

42:10

i read the really cool like a can suppress

42:12

different as it is from says feed

42:14

so i'm one of those people that it is proponent

42:16

of if you are going to adapt the musical feeling okay

42:18

to deviate from the source material

42:21

cause they were you know he talked about slot lot of

42:23

movies that are hyper literal adaptations tend

42:25

to suck

42:26

we're at and

42:28

answer once a before i forget to it's like compared

42:31

to the stage where you like you're saying it's like the

42:33

guy who was drafted to go to vietnam

42:35

and in goes to vietnam and then dies yeah

42:37

somewhat predictable yet

42:39

years to sort of like will of course is going to die

42:41

but like you know sort of dramatic irony

42:43

to assess as like by having

42:45

this characters actions result in him doing that

42:48

and then also say i'm fine i'm gonna i'm gonna

42:50

with it was a give it give

42:52

more weight i think

42:53

oh definitely for a movie like i i

42:55

struggle see how adapting it as it is

42:58

in the seizure would have worked so i think lakes

43:00

it is weird how compellingly that are how

43:02

compelling the so is the how plotless

43:04

it is like it really does yes i

43:06

had a friend who described it as like protest

43:08

burlesque says like it does is kind of feel

43:10

like a bunch of different people getting like they're different

43:13

acts on and they all kind of have like similar

43:16

ideas and they'll come to coalesce together

43:18

the end of this like you know like the sunshine

43:21

and kind of thing but like

43:22

the to be i'm gonna go on a limb here and it sounds

43:24

almost like

43:26

watching a jazz shores and they really everybody

43:28

is what part of an ensemble playing on solo

43:30

and a nice i have this thing at the which would make

43:32

sense that it's

43:33

you see that lives that that wouldn't it you know inherently

43:36

it sounds more like play music lives than

43:39

watching a two hour concert

43:40

am i gay yeah yeah exactly

43:43

and like again all these seems are being like woven in

43:45

analogous counseling going back you know between like

43:47

gender expression and free love and interracial

43:49

dating and and just like the history of the

43:51

america itself and and the alec

43:54

so i guess none of it all elect it makes

43:56

sense it's cohesive but it's not like i

43:58

forgot that it opens literally with draft card

44:00

been burned in the film which i was like damn

44:02

i they're just getting like great to lately

44:04

right into it

44:05

could the i like that is like the be it

44:07

be in a first act also a really cool shot

44:09

by the way like there's some really cool shouting

44:11

the idea of this i had this as

44:13

my favorite which eight the cameras i mentioned

44:15

this in the the all

44:17

hedge has one but yes i love me a

44:19

good seventy zoom i feel seventies

44:22

zoom is like they don't use it anymore which

44:24

i get sad about because it's love that like

44:26

fucking to street zoom into something or the zoom

44:28

out like yes it's a bit ghost

44:30

these days because everyone's ago he is a prime lenses

44:32

say i'll go fuck i love

44:34

zoomed yeah i'll be like

44:36

the bad that i'm certainly begin with are going

44:38

to like there though of the lincoln tunnel i guess

44:41

it is and guy and they are a

44:43

draft cards being burned in the distin

44:45

and then it builds up and then you just see all of the

44:47

kind of members of the hippie tribes throwing

44:49

their cards and athletes and like

44:52

housing office had a circle of i'm there

44:54

is a of course like the whole a tripping sequence

44:57

was again i

44:58

very cool idea

45:01

i'm pretty sure he pulled inspiration it felt like

45:03

to an extent from there's

45:06

you the holy mountain yeah yeah yeah yeah are

45:08

nowadays is the i did it is very

45:10

your huskies tennessee virtually everyone pulled from

45:12

nice home at some serious as very like

45:14

that

45:15

i am one hundred percent see that yep and

45:17

then like there's like that when sad during and that the very

45:19

last seen it

45:22

played okay lake the

45:24

microphone sign insides and then you see like

45:26

all like the other male members of like the tribe

45:28

and there you know military garb and

45:30

then you to see like a giant like plane

45:32

and like the keeping wake yara

45:35

void of the like the entrance into

45:37

the plane as lakes

45:38

our meme meme i being

45:40

into it know like this is like

45:42

yeah they're buying omega

45:45

legitimately overwhelming and i i websites

45:47

like in the middle of the day at like one pm

45:49

you know bright sunshine going on and like

45:51

oh this is like fucking with me a little bit our

45:54

our boy knows what he's doing but doing was

45:56

really fun to see was i'm was lot of the choreography

45:58

in this so i'm twyla tharp

46:00

is the choreographer who did all of like

46:03

the dancing in this and it is like the

46:05

habit of very particular like vietnam

46:08

a day as in any of the ballets

46:10

like a very like the idea whole like cores

46:12

that you were making these big wide seep through there

46:14

are am i look stupid as fuck right now for the listener

46:17

the homeowner play would raise our they complain

46:19

like airplane as a like a small child

46:22

the awesome

46:23

yeah a great fun game because

46:27

one be songs are kind of lake free

46:29

form like with characters that you don't ever really

46:31

gets know too deeply like the

46:33

are interesting the me like how they get shuffled around

46:35

and seems to characters and this like so that

46:38

the big some like easy to be hard which

46:40

is sung by hide lafayette ways

46:43

in the movie ah is

46:46

originally from by sheila after she's praying

46:48

spy

46:49

oh really

46:50

and it for you know how can all these

46:52

kids who wait hey there about

46:54

social justice you know be dicks

46:56

to each other and like i submitted i'm a

46:58

better giving like a more of a thrust

47:00

to say things

47:01

as i agree yeah

47:03

yeah ah like only that separately

47:05

way more effective ,

47:07

have somebody actually on the outside of that his

47:09

not just getting prank by like i don't

47:11

know insidious is really stupid prank in the

47:13

so it's like he tears her shirt or something like

47:15

that that she gets them as against wrote like

47:18

but to flake

47:19

but also your thing too is like a polls

47:21

to

47:22

again it's like you get wrapped up in the sort

47:24

of

47:25

the of ideologies are eight were there for this for

47:27

lack of better words like the ideology every

47:29

love movement and like loving everything but

47:32

then also dislike not sucking taking responsibility

47:34

for the people who look to you for love child

47:37

wife said like it takes it from being about

47:39

being about to something as a person or yeah

47:42

away and have that shows at odds with each other re

47:44

re re

47:44

it like in the stage show like it's still it's still

47:47

a like such a good song on their

47:49

the they did a two thousand and five concert

47:51

version that with a bunch of broadway people nobody's play

47:53

in any specific character it's it's all these pizza from

47:55

people singing songs and jennifer hudson

47:57

things easy to be hard and

47:59

well

47:59

so i mean i'm a thing as are searching

48:02

never assistants never fails

48:04

i like it but unlike you i got the

48:06

best somerset like to me and that

48:08

so that it really kind of engages

48:11

whistling the idea that fifty

48:14

they're full of shit but lake like

48:16

their kids is that their kids and like that they don't

48:18

understand that it's one thing to talk

48:20

talk it's another thing to actually like walk the walk

48:23

and like yeah can he gets back those

48:25

51:13

idea that they're heightened but they're also just

51:15

like these you can listen to songs without the contacts

51:17

of watching anything in your rowdies are fucking

51:20

the anger for the longest time like a so

51:22

i'd seen a again hair when i was thirteen

51:24

and then this concert recording

51:27

came out and i would listen to all the time and i had like

51:29

zero idea of what the fuck was actually going on in this

51:31

our own hours and like i just really like the music

51:33

and air i'm just sitting here layoffs yep bob

51:35

and along the electric blues and flown in

51:37

space and yeah let the sunshine and

51:39

again that of the great some it

51:41

is often when ever seen it using commercials

51:43

like he is in an upbeat way and i'm like

51:45

this is depressing his back legs

51:48

the like

51:49

we were going on in the second time

51:52

right the first so i am as like when they're they're it's

51:54

like the introduction to all of the militia is

51:56

when this crazy like circle dolly shot

51:58

risk

51:59

the park

52:00

there would be age of aquarius yeah

52:02

i have also

52:04

abraham amazing

52:04

that for the whole earth like

52:07

i'm ago very ago very like the

52:09

bride by this movie because i want and kind of being like

52:12

had snap it's never at the top of like films

52:14

of milos forman that people thought about but i

52:16

was like you get some good ideas he said

52:19

yeah i appreciate the fact that milos like

52:21

you said with somebody who was like i'd these are so

52:23

the opposite the and like a

52:25

like this this whole idea is like the opposite

52:27

of hydrant so he they do that he was a fascinated

52:30

by that like wanted to make a film that it as yeah

52:32

you get some interesting sort of counterpoints

52:35

do at the and

52:36

it's like it's almost like he's trying

52:38

to

52:40

really understand it without judging it

52:42

necessary yeah

52:43

the way he does that is by sort of giving voice

52:45

to

52:46

you know a addresses he can anyway and they get as

52:48

much as capable as a slag entire context

52:51

of what this was rather than just making

52:53

a movie about how hippies are awesome re re

52:55

re

52:57

like very much like i'm you know very

52:59

straightforward and it's not as not

53:01

earnest bootleg i don't i like

53:03

it's weird as it allows itself to be weird

53:06

and not what you know the hit show that

53:08

everyone loves you know yeah and

53:10

i think that's i think that's really cool and i guess i

53:12

had citizen the first sack them like i think this is

53:15

the new school they enjoyed weber wanted to write

53:17

when he wrote this is chris superstars

53:19

or you could i could actually see that yeah

53:21

yeah like or a deadly i went like i don't

53:23

vivid memories and i don't really know it's here

53:25

if he was even though enough to hair being like a huge

53:28

inspiration for her but unlike ten

53:30

links the script second mountains

53:32

seventy one i think sell it

53:34

53:39

three days yes other colors

53:42

is it i was i tried to be on an hour like

53:44

53:46

are like i know this the answer i'm watching

53:48

right

53:50

yeah

53:53

like display see about not

53:55

diseases crazy preserve it basically every

53:57

other youth culture musical that has come

53:59

out since my to seal the

54:02

take i hadn't really thought about

54:04

it that deeply until now and i'm like so much

54:06

hair influence shit man and

54:08

it's a young and here was a unique in it's

54:10

it's own self it came from you know there are other like less

54:13

successful musicals like the at rock in

54:16

they're sort of thing sadly it right

54:17

yeah there there there there is an off broadway

54:19

show about rocks which they they can seems regnier

54:22

and rato mad

54:24

actually was one of them was in the at rock

54:26

summer when them had a connection to the iraq

54:29

and iraq believe it wasn't unique in that

54:31

sense but you know between and i have the songs

54:33

to slapping and the nudity scandal

54:36

the early two seventy three mana nudity in the cell

54:38

most like wondering like

54:40

okay here's a little bit of

54:42

an itinerary much as we would like like

54:44

more nudity in every film three or exactly

54:46

this unit

54:50

the pretty amount of things we watched and how needed he might

54:52

have improved them the

54:55

next conversation for another day another

54:57

day yeah that have recovered reason for another day

54:59

but other who like yeah i really like this

55:01

like this to me as a good example of them that

55:04

are now just taking something and making it work for

55:06

film as opposed to trying to retrofit it for

55:07

they'll listen hits or boy milos

55:09

yeah we did it is it me know analyzing on

55:11

alias

55:12

again so badly out his legs

55:14

i want to watch on the omitted with we sorted

55:16

discusses sex is that going to count as a musical

55:18

because the kind of does because you and i are both like

55:20

a huge amadeus dorks loudness

55:22

oh you work for the show but he and the offline

55:25

we can talk mood sir tweeting about legislators

55:27

ahmed are you where the chaos it's it's

55:29

got music is it has

55:31

a bunch of broadway people in it

55:33

it's got barber been brin are girl who isn't

55:35

sunday an apartment wards and into the words she plays

55:38

right right hands his mama

55:40

ah it's got

55:42

ah our boy tom wolfe it's guy

55:44

at home it's got it's that dancing

55:46

the runway sally area or parliamentary

55:49

labour him around

55:50

and after winning performance i think it counts

55:53

ah maybe as a treat spell

55:55

easy to death

55:57

reading about amadeus like legitimately

56:00

the movie that made me like the

56:02

movies i think i remember seeing that in fourth

56:04

grade and being like this

56:05

amid yeah i saw i saw amadeus very young

56:07

to know yet what i like this is crazy

56:10

this is a movie like oh yes

56:12

oh i do

56:13

david seaman work with

56:15

the title song hair is in

56:17

a prison i can think about was like the sanitarium

56:19

sally areas in and stuff

56:22

, because it would have put him on some a day is so badly

56:24

right now and the illegal i install

56:27

on the same choreography that the hippies the when the park

56:29

and like the of the doesn't from the thera

56:31

laws you scenes of amadeus and like plethora

56:34

to just like spitting people around vertically

56:36

i like it in an ambiance like you said sort

56:38

of and spread out like the airplane style yeah

56:40

it's a good way to so of a frame to cs

56:43

and city almost there but the room was bursting

56:45

out of the actual ray film

56:47

itself with right it's a good method to do instead

56:49

of being super vertical and

56:50

and then it ends with the plane a tear

56:52

yeah

56:54

the thought that was why she did it's
