This movie was the only English language film playing in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1979, when I lived there. I saw it at least 10 times. My daughter was 8 years old (1992) the first time I watched this film with her. She was going to be a hippie for Halloween so I figured she should see the ultimate hippie movie. This song was where I ended the tape. I don't think she saw how this movie really ended until she was at university. I was at UCLA during the height of the Vietnam war - marched in a lot of protests and watched the fall of Saigon on TV. I did figure 8 was too young for my child to know the depths of the tragedy of war, although by that point I'd had to explain the first Gulf war to her, another tragedy played out on TV,

when i started at the International School of Tanganyika in 1980, our music teacher has all us kids sing songs from Hair. I was used to singing boring hymn and other religious nonsense in school back in Denmark, where I am from. I loved it! After Hair, we went on to perform Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as a musical for all the other kids and parents. I was blown away! Peace and love!

there was so much talent in this film. From Director Milos Foreman down to the studio musicians. The parts were amazingly well casted (many of them unknowns and others cast way against type). Treat Williams' only singing role, Beverly D'angelo and John Savage at their lightest and Don Dacus (who played with Chicago and Stephen Stills) only film role. The film is almost 35 years old and certainly shows signs of it but it still is one of the compelling and joyous 2 hours you can have.

I remember being eight years old when this song was first played on the radio in 1969. I've always loved this song. Many years later in the 1990s, I recall writing down the lyrics to this song. I had to get all of the weird nonsensical words precise so that I could memorize them! I fondly recall singing this song many times to my mother in her later years while I took care of her at home after her stroke. She also enjoyed this song as well.
