Mass Market Paperback. I've been a fan of the musical "Hair" ever since I've heard the songs and saw the film. "Hair" was based on the counter-culture hippie movement of the 60s and focused on a group of friends called a "tribe, " and one of the character's (Claude) decision to accept being drafted into the military. It revolutionized Broadway by bringing rock music to the theater crowd and broke conventional story telling in non-linear fashion. It also dealt with sexuality, war, drugs, race and stereotypes, and the divide between generations. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; xiii, 205 pages .
