cool tv show the nice exists or then
8:14
with the actors who had met while performing
8:16

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

8:42
of three weeks

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
so i wouldn't korea sli has
17:49
iconic hair so you know

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
lyrics trying to get lost in the
48:27
shipment folks itself like is a beautiful sunny
48:29
here at you like okay but yeah like
48:31
yeah like it had so much more dramatic thrust in
48:33
this so this the there's a sequence
48:35
in on the second act of called
48:38
white boys and black boys and it's see know

51:04
like when we saw jesus christ superstar as like a yeti
51:06
songs are like their concert songs like near
51:08
bangor is a gray hair had a similar sensibility
51:11
your as a getty songs are all kind of yeah i'm
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
i know this to which i'm like yes
53:39
three days yes other colors
53:41
are you from your
53:42
is it i was i tried to be on an hour like
53:44
like this like the knowledge that you had a
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
56:57
be as a i'm i'm i'm a i'm
56:59
