Subject: Nuking Water


 I checked Snopes and this is true.
  
Microwaving Water!

(I did not know this, did you?)

A 26-year old man decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done numerous times before). I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that the! water was not boiling, but suddenly the water in the cup "blew up" into his face. The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand, but all the water had flown out into his face due to the build up of energy. His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face which may leave scarring.

He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye. While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is a fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc., (nothing metal).

It is however a much safer choice to boil the water in a tea kettle.

General Electric's Response:

Thanks for contacting us, I will be happy to assist you. The e-mail that you received is correct. Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds! before moving it or adding anything into it.

Here is what our local science teacher had to say on the matter: "Thanks for the microwave warning. I have seen this happen before. It is caused by a phenomenon known as super heating. It can occur anytime water is heated and will particularly occur if the vessel that the water is heated in is new, or when heating a small amount of water (less than half a cup).

What happens is that the water heats faster than the vapor bubbles can form. If the cup is very new then it is unlikely to have small surface scratches inside it that provide a place for the bubbles to form. As the bubbles cannot form and release some of the heat has built up, the liquid does not boil, and the liquid continues to heat up well past its boiling point.

What then usually happens is that the liquid is bumped or jarred, which is just enough of a shock to cause the bubbles to rapidly form and expel the hot liquid. The rapid formation of bubbles is also why a carbonated beverage spews when opened after having been shaken."

If you pass this on you could very well save someone from a lot of pain and suffering.

Thank You Very Much.

For those of you who couldnt make it on Saturday to see WMH and his tribe at
the LaMama series let me tell you it was great!  The amount of love exuding
from that family is incredible!  Not only were we regaled with stories of
the early days of avant garde theater, we got song & dance from the Harris
sisters as W M played piano and sang (among other Harris compositions) a sad
and beautiful song about Hibiscus that their mother wrote (she also wrote
songs for Hibiscus nightclub act!)  An audience singalong of Good Morning
Starshine, and they brought everyone on stage after  Michael B Tom O ,
Marjorie Lipari  and of course Michael Arian, (who has done a great job to
help put this series on!) were all present.  I left the place feeling very
happy.  A lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

Yes, the phenomena of "superheated" liquids does exist, and they can rather explosively change state (into gas) as described.

Though the reasons behind this is quite well explained in the material you quoted, I still would be cautious with some of the suggested protective measures.

What is happening is that the water (or other liquid) has absorbed enough energy to change it from the liquid stare into a gas (steam), but nothing has triggered the change to occur yet. Any mechanical disturbance of the water can trigger the change, and, once it gets going, the resulting disturbance is adequate to trigger the rest of the liquid to change state. This will continue (with great, explosive, rapidity) until the remaining liquid has been so depleted of energy that it cannot change to gas.

In chemistry labs, it is common practice to place inert "boiling chips" into a liquid to prevent such explosions. They typically are sharp pieces of glass, the sharp edges of which form a "nucleus" around which gas bubbles will form. Thus the liquid will start turning to gas as it is heated and thereby not become significantly "superheated".

Your science teacher is right-on, but the other responses leave something to be desired. Several things to be cautious of: 

1) A "two minute per cup" limit on heating water is not very meaningful. It is the amount of energy that goes into the water that matters, not how long it is in the oven. The amount of energy is dependent on the size (Wattage) of the microwave, the setting (duty cycle), and the amount of water in the cup. Since these are all variables, the amount of time needed to achieve "superheated" status is also variable. 

2) Superheating is not a phenomena limited only to heating by microwaves. It can occur even in a conventional stove-top tea kettle. It usually doesn't occur because most vessels used for heating on stove tops have enough sharp edges to trigger gas bubble formation.

3) Placing something into the liquid when heating it does not stop superheating by "diffus(ing) the energy." The added items simply provide additional nuclei (either mechanical or chemical) to trigger bubble formation.


4) The wait 30-seconds rule is also not foolproof. Liquids can remain superheated for quite some time before something occurs to trigger bubble formation.

A interesting fact is that this phenomenon can happen IN REVERSE and is quite commonly seen. A gas may be "supercooled" below the temperature at which it would normally turn into a liquid. This is commonly seen in the formation of clouds and fog, which are suspended droplets of water that have condensed out of gaseous water in the atmosphere. Scientists used this from the early days of the atomic era to visualize nuclear radiation. Water vapor was supercooled delicately so that it wouldn't condense into liquid. When a charged nuclear particle, such as an Alpha or Beta "ray" passed through the gas it would leave a trail of minute liquid water droplets that represented the path the particle took.

On a different, but related, subject, there is a special danger to heating by microwave or other High frequency radiation: Thew "skin" effect. I learned about this "the hard way" when, years ago, I decided to heat a small carton of milk in my college's new microwave oven. I warmed the milk just to drinking temperature and then drank it down. After I had swallowed the last satisfying gulp, I discovered that the entire inside of my mouth (and, therefore, esophagus, etc.) was coated in a thick layer of wax from the inside of the carton! Microwaves penetrate, and thus, supply heat, to varying depths depending on the electrical conductivity of the material heated. In the case of my milk, apparently the outer surface of the milk reached a high enough temperature to melt the wax coating on the carton while the rest of the mile that was closer to the center received relatively little heat. When I drank it, the milk was mixed and seemed only pleasantly warm, but it carried the melted wax from the carton along with it!

Hope that this proves helpful.



Blessed be with love, peace, and happiness,

John

Hi Amy,

This came through just fine, assuming it was sent recently! :-)

Did you get error messages back, or did the posts just disappear? If you 
send a post to the list that doesn't seem to come through, check the online 
archive of posts ( http://www.islandlists.com/pipermail/mb-hair/ ) and if it 
doesn't appear there in a timely way send it again. Make sure the address is 
the right one, and that you haven't sent it to the old list address 
(doubtful, I know, but I have to mention it) and that you didn't mistype it 
in some small way. We have, on occasion, had difficulties with aol 
subscribers - sometimes the aol server seems to reject the list - but as 
this post came through just fine from you I would guess that was just a 
mysterious glitch. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hope that helps!
Love,
Nina

Good News!



To family and friends,

I haven't said anything to anybody about this until now because I wanted to
wait until things were final.  I have purchased a one bedroom condo in Santa
Barbara as an investment property.

It finally closed last week, so I thought that I would let you all know in
case anyone is interested in accommodations for an upcoming getaway to the
beach.    It's available for weekends or on a weekly basis.

Weekends will cost about $150 for three nights and $450 for the week.  These
prices are low because they are for friends and family.
Prices will be a bit different for people we don't know, but we can discuss
that on an individual basis.

In any case, it's a one bedroom, high-rise unit that overlooks the ocean,
nestled among lush greens, and has a lovely ocean view from every window!

See photo below :






Let me know if you're interested



Sherwin




Got me good too!!   Ha!Ha!  Ha!Ha! Ha!Ha! Ha!Ha! Ha!Ha!

Amy I have had quite a few things returned lately I have sent to AOL subscribers saying there was a problem with delivery,  they finally (most) got through after a couple of times of trying, I know because I was notified each time they tried to send the messages to AOL.  Maybe that could have something to do with it... AOL is having problems with deliveries .... just a thought. It happened so often in fact I was getting pissed off at AOL and I am not even a subscriber of theirs.

peace,

Thank you so much Jeffrey!  That's the best review we ever got.

It was great to meet you and to feel emboldened by the afterglow of the previous week's HAIR event.  Having Michael B. and Tom O. and you and Marjorie and others there in person made the connection complete.  

My father (who spoke first) is 84 years old and first directed for La MaMa in 1962 - 43 years ago.  My youngest sister was only three when she made her La MaMa debut, and I was twelve.

The family worked hard to craft an outline for the afternoon.  I mentioned to Tom O'Horgan at the intermission that it felt a little disjointed (our show) - and dear Tom thought for a moment and said, "well, so is life!"  Tom made it all OK with simple wisdom and heart.  Tom and I did two shows together at La MaMa prior to HAIR.

After the show on Saturday, Michael Butler joined us over at Phebe's and we had time to chat and get caught up.  I was very glad my parents and siblings got to meet Michael at long last.  That evening I went back to La MaMa to catch Ellen Stewart's newest interpretation of Greek mythology.  It's a fantastic show, catch it if you can.

I'm sorry that my schedule will not permit me to join the larger group that's going up to Bridgeport in a few weeks but I will attend a HAIR performance there by Friday and I'm really looking forward to it.

Peace and love,

WMH and family

from that family is incredible!  Not only were we regaled with stories of
the early days of avant garde theater, we got song & dance from the Harris
sisters as W M played piano and sang (among other Harris compositions) a sad
and beautiful song about Hibiscus that their mother wrote (she also wrote
songs for Hibiscus' nightclub act!)  An audience singalong of Good Morning
Starshine, and they brought everyone on stage after.  Michael B Tom O ,
Marjorie Lipari and of course Michael Arian, (who has done a great job to
help put this series on!) were all present.  I left the place feeling very
happy.  A lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

Thank you so much Jeffrey! That's the best review we ever got.

It was great to meet you and to feel emboldened by the afterglow of the previous week's HAIR event. Having Michael B. and Tom O. and you and Marjorie and others there in person made the connection complete. 

My father (who spoke first) is 84 years old and first directed for La MaMa in 1962 - 43 years ago. My youngest sister was only three when she made her La MaMa debut, and I was twelve.

The family worked hard to craft an outline for the afternoon. I mentioned to Tom O'Horgan at the intermission that it felt a little disjointed (our show) - and dear Tom thought for a moment and said, "well, so is life!" Tom made it all OK with simple wisdom and heart. Tom and I did two shows together at La MaMa prior to HAIR.

After the show on Saturday, Michael Butler joined us over at Phebe's and we had time to chat and get caught up. I was very glad my parents and siblings got to meet Michael at long last. That evening I went back to La MaMa to catch Ellen Stewart's newest interpretation of Greek mythology. It's a fantastic show, catch it if you can.

I'm sorry that my schedule will not permit me to join the larger group that's going up to Bridgeport in a few weeks but I will attend a HAIR performance there by Friday and I'm really looking forward to it.

Peace and love,

WMH and family

Last Saturday April 30 2005 was the 30th anniversary of the end of the 
Vietnam War.  Many of Americans have forgotten or never learned what 
happened and why.  The following exerpt, from Howard Zinn's People's 
History of the United States, is long for an email--will take 15 minutes or so 
to read--but an extremely worthwhile 15+ minutes in remembering.  When we 
forget our history we become extremely gullible and believe the lies that are 
told to us about current and past events.  This is worth forwarding, printing, 
reading to your children.  Maybe you will be inspired to read, if you haven't 
already, Howard Zinn's book.  Or to call your kids' or grandkids' history 
teachers and ask them to use it in class (as many have).....

Vietnamese Children's Song

The enemy is not people
Kill people, who shall we live with then?

The enemy's name is cruelty
The enemy's name is no conscience
Its name is hatred; its name is bitterness
It's a group of phantoms

The enemy wears a coat of doctrine
The enemy wears the false front of freedom
It wears a deceiving appearance
It sifts and twists our words

People, oh people, have compassion for the weak
People, oh people, have compassion for the innocent
Have compassion for the sellouts
Have compassion for the cheats
Have compassion for those who pity us

The enemy's name is unjust accusation
The enemy's name is ignorance
Its name is greed
Its name is selfishness
Its name is jealous hatred

The enemy is no stranger
It lies here, inside each one of us
The enemy is covetous eyes
The enemy is an arrogant head
In a lonely head
In a narrow mind
In the dream of conquering

People, oh people, love people more and more
People, oh people, love people as people
Love people forever
Love people night and day
Love people hand in hand.

The enemy is not people

Kill people, who will we live with then?

The enemy is no stranger
It lies here, inside each one of us.

News of Victory

by Ho Chi Minh

The Moon opens my window, asking:
"Is your poem ready yet?"
-Wait a minute, Moon,
I am still busy on military matters
And can't possibly compose poetry.
-Just a moment, Moon.
There, the mountain bell
Awakens autumn dreams,
 From the front lines
News of victory has just arrived!

The Impossible Victory: Vietnam

excerpted from "A People's History of the United States"

by Howard Zinn

In the fall of 1945 Japan, defeated, was forced to leave Indochina, the
former French colony it had occupied at the start of the war. In the
meantime, a revolutionary movement had grown there, determined to end
colonial control and to achieve a new life for the peasants of Indochina.
Led by a Communist named Ho Chi Minh, the revolutionists fought against
the Japanese, and when they were gone held a spectacular celebration in
Hanoi in late 1945, with a million people in the streets, and issued a
Declaration of Independence. It borrowed from the Declaration of the
Rights of Man and the Citizen, in the French Revolution, and from the
American Declaration of Independence, and began: "All men are created
equal. They are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights;
among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." Just as the
Americans in 1776 had listed their grievances against the English King,
the Vietnamese listed their complaints against French rule:

They have enforced inhuman laws.... They have built more prisons than
schools. They have mercilessly slain our patriots, they have drowned
uprisings in rivers of blood. They have fettered public opinion.... They
have robbed us of our rice fields, our mines, our forests, and our raw
materials...

They have invented numerous unjustifiable taxes and reduced our people,
especially our peasantry, to a state of extreme poverty....... from the
end of last year, to the beginning of this year... more than two million
of our fellow-citizens died of starvation....

The whole Vietnamese people, animated by a common purpose, are deter
mined to fight to the bitter end against any attempt by the French
colonialists to reconquer their country.

The U.S. Defense Department study of the Vietnam war, intended to be
"top secret" but released publicly by Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo in
the famous Pentagon Papers case, described Ho Chi Minh's work:

"... Ho had built the Viet Minh into the only Vietnam-wide political
organization capable of effective resistance to either the Japanese or the
French. He was the only Vietnamese wartime leader with a national
following, and he assured himself wider fealty among the Vietnamese people
when in August September, 1945, he overthrew the Japanese... established
the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and staged receptions for in-coming
allied occupation forces.... For a few weeks in September, 1945, Vietnam
was-for the first and only time in its modern history-free of foreign
domination, and united from north to south under Ho Chi Minh...."

The Western powers were already at work to change this. England occupied
the southern part of Indochina and then turned it back to the French.
Nationalist China (this was under Chiang Kai-shek, before the Communist
revolution) occupied the northern part of Indochina, and the United States
persuaded it to turn that back to the French. As Ho Chi Minh told an
American journalist: "We apparently stand quite alone.... We shall have to
depend on ourselves."

Between October 1945 and February 1946, Ho Chi Minh wrote eight letters 
to
President Truman, reminding him of the self-determination promises of the
Atlantic Charter. One of the letters was sent both to Truman and to the
United Nations:

I wish to invite attention of your Excellency for strictly humanitarian
reasons to following matter. Two million Vietnamese died of starvation
during winter of 1944 and spring 1945 because of starvation policy of
French who seized and stored until it rotted all available rice....
Three-fourths of cultivated land was flooded in summer 1945, which was
followed by a severe drought; of normal harvest five-sixths was lost....
Many people are starving.... Unless great world powers and international
relief organizations bring us immediate assistance we face imminent
catastrophe....

Truman never replied.

In October of 1946, the French bombarded Haiphong, a port in northern
Vietnam, and there began the eight-year war between the Vietminh movement
and the French over who would rule Vietnam. After the Communist victory in
China in 1949 and the Korean war the following year, the United States
began giving large amounts of military aid to the French. By 1954, the
United States had given 300,000 small arms and machine guns, enough to
equip the entire French army in Indochina, and $1 billion; all together,
the U.S. was financing 80 percent of the French war effort. Why was the
United States doing this? To the public, the word was that the United
States was helping to stop Communism in Asia, but there was not much
public discussion. In the secret memoranda of the National Security
Council (which advised the President on foreign policy) there was talk in
1950 of what came to be known as the "domino theory"-that, like a row of
dominoes, if one country fell to Communism, the next one would do the same
and so on. It was important therefore to keep the first one from falling.

A secret memo of the National Security Council in June 1952 also pointed
to the chain of U.S. military bases along the coast of China, the
Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea:

Communist control of all of Southeast Asia would render the U.S.
position in the Pacific offshore island chain precarious and would
seriously jeopardize fundamental U.S. security interests in the Far East.

Southeast Asia, especially Malaya and Indonesia, is the principal world
source of natural rubber and tin, and a producer of petroleum and other
strategically important commodities....

It was also noted that Japan depended on the rice of Southeast Asia, and
Communist victory there would "make it extremely difficult to prevent
Japan's eventual accommodation to communism." In 1953, a congressional
study mission reported: "The area of Indochina is immensely wealthy in
rice, rubber, coal and iron ore. Its position makes it a strategic key to
the rest of Southeast Asia." That year, a State Department memorandum said
that the French were losing the war in Indochina, had failed "to win a
sufficient native support," feared that a negotiated settlement "would
mean the eventual loss to Communism not only of Indochina but of the whole
of Southeast Asia, and concluded: "If the French actually decided to
withdraw, the U.S. would have to consider most seriously whether to take
over in this area."

In 1954, the French, having been unable to win Vietnamese popular
support, which was overwhelmingly behind Ho Chi Minh and the
revolutionary movement, had to withdraw.

An international assemblage at Geneva presided over the peace agreement
between the French and the Vietminh. It was agreed that the French would
temporarily withdraw into the southern part of Vietnam, that the Vietminh
would remain in the north, and that an election would take place in two
years in a unified Vietnam to enable the Vietnamese to choose their own
government.

The United States moved quickly to prevent the unification and to
establish South Vietnam as an American sphere. It set up in Saigon as head
of the government a former Vietnamese official named Ngo Dinh Diem, who
had recently been living in New Jersey, and encouraged him not to hold the
scheduled elections for unification. A memo in early 1954 of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff said that intelligence estimates showed "a settlement
based on free elections would be attended by almost certain loss of the
Associated States [Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam-the three parts of
Indochina created by the Geneva Conference] to Communist control." Diem
again and again blocked the elections requested by the Vietminh, and with
American money and arms his government became more and more firmly
established. As the Pentagon Papers put it: "South Viet Nam was
essentially the creation of the United States."

                              *

During 1965, over 200,000 American soldiers were sent to South Vietnam,
and in 1966, 200,000 more. By early 1968, there were more than 500,000
American troops there, and the U.S. Air Force was dropping bombs at a rate
unequaled in history. Tiny glimmerings of the massive human suffering
under this bombardment came to the outside world. On June 5, 1965, the New
York Times carried a dispatch from Saigon:

As the Communists withdrew from Quangngai last Monday, U.S. jet
bombers pounded the hills into which they were headed. Many Vietnamese 
one
estimate is as high as 500 were killed by the strikes. The American
contention is that they were Vietcong soldiers. But three out of four
patients seeking treatment in a Vietnamese hospital afterward for burns
from napalm, or jellied gasoline, were village women.

On September 6, another press dispatch from Saigon:

"In Bien Hoa province south of Saigon on August 15 United States
aircraft accidentally bombed a Buddhist pagoda and a Catholic church.. .
it was the third time their pagoda had been bombed in 1965. A temple of
the Cao Dai religious sect in the same area had been bombed twice this
year. In another delta province there is a woman who has both arms burned
off by napalm and her eyelids so badly burned that she cannot close them.
When it is time for her to sleep her family puts a blanket over her head.
The woman had two of her children killed in the air strike that maimed
her."

Few Americans appreciate what their nation is doing to South Vietnam
with airpower... innocent civilians are dying every day in South Vietnam.

Large areas of South Vietnam were declared "free fire zones," which
meant that all persons remaining within them-civilians, old people,
children-were considered an enemy, and bombs were dropped at will.
Villages suspected of harboring Viet Cong were subject to "search and
destroy" missions-men of military age in the villages were killed, the
homes were burned, the women, children, and old people were sent off to
refugee camps. Jonathan Schell, in his book The Village of Ben Suc,
describes such an operation: a village surrounded, attacked, a man riding
on a bicycle shot down, three people picnicking by the river shot to
death, the houses destroyed, the women, children, old people herded
together, taken away from their ancestral homes.

The CIA in Vietnam, in a program called "Operation Phoenix," secretly,
without trial, executed at least twenty thousand civilians in South
Vietnam who were suspected of being members of the Communist 
underground.
A pro-administration analyst wrote in the journal Foreign Affairs in
January 1975: "Although the Phoenix program did undoubtedly kill or
incarcerate many innocent civilians, it did also eliminate many members of
the Communist infrastructure."

After the war, the release of records of the International Red Cross
showed that in South Vietnamese prison camps, where at the height of
the war 65,000 to 70,000 people were held and often beaten and tortured,
American advisers observed and sometimes participated. The Red Cross
observers found continuing, systematic brutality at the two principal
Vietnamese POW camps-at Phu Quoc and Qui Nhon, where American 
advisers
were stationed.

By the end of the war, 7 million tons of bombs had been dropped on
Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia-more than twice the amount of bombs
dropped on Europe and Asia in World War II. In addition, poisonous sprays
were dropped by planes to destroy trees and any kind of growth- an area
the size of the state of Massachusetts was covered with such poi son.
Vietnamese mothers reported birth defects in their children. Yale
biologists, using the same poison (2,4,5,T) on mice, reported defective
mice born and said they had no reason to believe the effect on humans was
different.

On March 16, 1968, a company of American soldiers went into the hamlet of
My Lai 4, in Quang Ngai province. They rounded up the inhabitants,
including old people and women with infants in their arms. These people
were ordered into a ditch, where they were methodically shot to death by
American soldiers. The testimony of James Dursi, a rifleman, at the later
trial of Lieutenant William Calley, was reported in the New York Times:

Lieutenant Calley and a weeping rifleman named Paul D. Meadlo the same
soldier who had fed candy to the children before shooting them-pushed the
prisoners into the ditch...

"There was an order to shoot by Lieutenant Calley, I can't remember the
exact words-it was something like 'Start firing.' "Meadlo turned to me and
said: 'Shoot, why don't you shoot?'

"He was crying. "I said, 'I can't. I won't.'

"Then Lieutenant Calley and Meadlo pointed their rifles into the ditch and
fired.

"People were diving on top of each other; mothers were trying to protect
their children...."

Journalist Seymour Hersh, in his book My Lai 4, writes:

"When Army investigators reached the barren area in November, 1969, in
connection with the My Lai probe in the United States, they found mass
graves at three sites, as well as a ditch full of bodies. It was estimated
that between 450 and 500 people-most of them women, children and old men-
had been slain and buried there."

The army tried to cover up what happened. But a letter began circulating
from a GI named Ron Ridenhour, who had heard about the massacre. There
were photos taken of the killing by an army photographer, Ronald Haeberle.
Seymour Hersh, then working for an antiwar news agency in Southeast Asia
called Dispatch News Service, wrote about it. The story of the massacre
had appeared in May 1968 in two French publications, one called Sud
Vietnam en Lutte, and another published by the North Vietnamese delegation
to the peace talks in Paris-but the American press did not pay any
attention.

Several of the officers in the My Lai massacre were put on trial, but only
Lieutenant William Calley was found guilty. He was sentenced to life
imprisonment, but his sentence was reduced twice; he served three
years-Nixon ordered that he be under house arrest rather than a regular
prison-and then was paroled. Thousands of Americans came to his defense.
Part of it was in patriotic justification of his action as necessary
against the "Communists." Part of it seems to have been a feeling that he
was unjustly singled out in a war with many similar atrocities.  Colonel
Oran Henderson, who had been charged with covering up the My Lai killings,
told reporters in early 1971: "Every unit of brigade size has its My Lai
hidden someplace."

Indeed, My Lai was unique only in its details. Hersh reported a letter
sent by a GI to his family, and published in a local newspaper:

"Dear Mom and Dad:

Today we went on a mission and I am not very proud of myself, my
friends, or my country. We burned every hut in sight!

It was a small rural network of villages and the people were incredibly
poor. My unit burned and plundered their meager possessions. Let me try to
explain the situation to you.

The huts here are thatched palm leaves. Each one has a dried mud bunker
inside. These bunkers are to protect the families. Kind of like air raid
shelters.

My unit commanders, however, chose to think that these bunkers are
offensive. So every hut we find that has a bunker we are ordered to burn
to the ground.

When the ten helicopters landed this morning, in the midst of these
huts, and six men jumped out of each "chopper", we were firing the
moment we hit the ground. We fired into all the huts we could....

It is then that we burned these huts.... Everyone is crying, begging and
praying that we don't separate them and take their husbands and fathers,
sons and grandfathers. The women wail and moan.

Then they watch in terror as we burn their homes, personal possessions and
food. Yes, we burn all rice and shoot all livestock."

                               *

The massacre at My Lai by a company of ordinary soldiers was a small
event compared with the plans of high-level military and civilian
leaders to visit massive destruction on the civilian population of
Vietnam. Assistant Secretary of Defense John McNaughton in early 1966,
seeing that large-scale bombing of North Vietnam villages was not
producing the desired result, suggested a different strategy. The air
strikes on villages, he said, would "create a counterproductive wave of
revulsion abroad and at home." He suggested instead:

Destruction of locks and dams, however-if handled right-might...
offer promise. It should be studied. Such destruction doesn't kill or
drown people. By shallow-flooding the rice, it leads after a time to
widespread starvation (more than a million?) unless food is provided-which
we could offer to do "at the conference table."...

The heavy bombings were intended to destroy the will of ordinary
Vietnamese to resist, as in the bombings of German and Japanese
population centers in World War II-despite President Johnson's public
insistence that only "military targets" were being bombed. The government
was using language like "one more turn of the screw" to describe bombing.
The CIA at one point in 1966 recommended a "bombing program of greater
intensity," according to the Pentagon Papers, directed against, in the
ClA's words, "the will of the regime as a target system."

Meanwhile, just across the border of Vietnam, in a neighboring country,
Laos, where a right-wing government installed by the CIA faced a
rebellion, one of the most beautiful areas in the world, the Plain of
Jars, was being destroyed by bombing. This was not reported by the
government or the press, but an American who lived in Laos, Fred Branfman,
told the story in his book Voices from the Plain of Jars:

Over 25,000 attack sorties were flown against the Plain of Jars from
May, 1964, through September, 1969; over 75,000 tons of bombs were
dropped on it; on the ground, thousands were killed and wounded, tens of
thousands driven underground, and the entire aboveground society leveled.

                             *

In September 1973, a former government official in Laos, Jerome
Doolittle, wrote in the New York Times:

"The Pentagon's most recent lies about bombing Cambodia bring back a
question that often occurred to me when I was press attach? at the
American Embassy in Vientiane, Laos.

Why did we bother to lie?

When I first arrived in Laos, I was instructed to answer all press
questions about our massive and merciless bombing campaign in that tiny
country with: "At the request of the Royal Laotian Government, the United
States is conducting unarmed reconnaissance flights accompanied by armed
escorts who have the right to return if fired upon."

This was a lie. Every reporter to whom I told it knew it was a lie.
Hanoi knew it was a lie. The International Control Commission knew it was
a lie. Every interested Congressman and newspaper reader knew it was a
lie....

After all, the lies did serve to keep something from somebody, and the
somebody was us."

By early 1968, the cruelty of the war began touching the conscience of
many Americans. For many others, the problem was that the United States
was unable to win the war, while 40,000 American soldiers were dead by
this time, 250,000 wounded, with no end in sight. (The Vietnam casualties
were many times this number.)

Lyndon Johnson had escalated a brutal war and failed to win it. His
popularity was at an all-time low; he could not appear publicly without a
demonstration against him and the war. The chant "LBJ, LBJ, how many kids
did you kill today?" was heard in demonstrations throughout the country.
In the spring of 1968 Johnson announced he would not run again for
President, and that negotiations for peace would begin with the Vietnamese
in Paris.

In the fall of 1968, Richard Nixon, pledging that he would get the
United States out of Vietnam, was elected President. He began to
withdraw troops; by February 1972, less than 150,000 were left. But the
bombing continued. Nixon's policy was "Vietnamization"-the Saigon
government, with Vietnamese ground troops, using American money and air
power, would carry on the war. Nixon was not ending the war; he was ending
the most unpopular aspect of it, the involvement of American soldiers on
the soil of a faraway country.

In the spring of 1970, Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
launched an invasion of Cambodia, after a long bombardment that the
government never disclosed to the public. The invasion not only led to an
outcry of protest in the United States, it was a military failure, and
Congress resolved that Nixon could not use American troops in extending
the war without congressional approval. The following year, without
American troops, the United States supported a South Vietnamese invasion
of Laos. This too failed. In 1971, 800,000 tons of bombs were dropped by
the United States on Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam.

                               *

... In August of 1965, 61 percent of the population thought the American
involvement in Vietnam was not wrong. By May 1971 it was exactly 
reversed;
61 percent thought our involvement was wrong. Bruce Andrews, a Harvard
student of public opinion, found that the people most opposed to the war
were people over fifty, blacks, and women. He also noted that a study in
the spring of 1964, when Vietnam was a minor issue in the newspapers,
showed that 53 percent of college educated people were willing to send
troops to Vietnam, but only 33 percent of grade school-educated people
were so willing.

It seems that the media, themselves controlled by higher-education,
higher-income people who were more aggressive in foreign policy, tended to
give the erroneous impression that working-class people were superpatriots
for the war. Lewis Lipsitz, in a mid-1968 survey of poor blacks and whites
in the South, paraphrased an attitude he found typical: "The only way to
help the poor man is to get out of that war in Vietnam... These taxes-high
taxes-it's going over yonder to kill people with and I don't see no cause
in it."

The capacity for independent judgment among ordinary Americans is
probably best shown by the swift development of antiwar feeling among
American GIs-volunteers and draftees who came mostly from lower-income
groups. There had been, earlier in American history, in stances of
soldiers' disaffection from the war: isolated mutinies in the
Revolutionary War, refusal of reenlistment in the midst of hostilities in
the Mexican war, desertion and conscientious objection in World War I and
World War II. But Vietnam produced opposition by soldiers and veterans on
a scale, and with a fervor, never seen before.

It began with isolated protests. As early as June 1965, Richard Steinke, a
West Point graduate in Vietnam, refused to board an aircraft taking him to
a remote Vietnamese village. "The Vietnamese war," he said, "is not worth
a single American life." Steinke was court-martialed and dismissed from
the service. The following year, three army privates, one black, one
Puerto Rican, one Lithuanian-Italian-all poor-refused to embark for
Vietnam, denouncing the war as "immoral, illegal, and unjust." They were
court-martialed and imprisoned.

In early 1967, Captain Howard Levy, an army doctor at Fort Jackson,
South Carolina, refused to teach Green Berets, a Special Forces elite in
the military. He said they were "murderers of women and children" and
"killers of peasants." He was court-martialed on the ground that he was
trying to promote disaffection among enlisted men by his statements. The
colonel who presided at the trial said: "The truth of the statements is
not an issue in this case." Levy was convicted and sentenced to prison.

The individual acts multiplied: A black private in Oakland refused to
board a troop plane to Vietnam, although he faced eleven years at hard
labor. A navy nurse, Lieutenant Susan Schnall, was court-martialed for
marching in a peace demonstration while in uniform, and for drop ping
antiwar leaflets from a plane on navy installations. In Norfolk, Virginia,
a sailor refused to train fighter pilots because he said the war was
immoral. An army lieutenant was arrested in Washington, D.C., in early
1968 for picketing the White House with a sign that said: " 120,000
American Casualties-Why?" Two black marines, George Daniels and William
Harvey, were given long prison sentences (Daniels, six years, Harvey, ten
years, both later reduced) for talking to other black marines against the
war.

As the war went on, desertions from the armed forces mounted. Thousands
went to Western Europe-France, Sweden, Holland. Most deserters crossed
into Canada; some estimates were 50,000, others 100,000. Some stayed in
the United States. A few openly defied the military authorities by taking
"sanctuary" in churches, where, surrounded by antiwar friends and
sympathizers, they waited for capture and court-martial. At Boston
University, a thousand students kept vigil for five days and nights in the
chapel, supporting an eighteen-year old deserter, Ray Kroll.

Kroll's story was a common one. He had been inveigled into joining the
army; he came from a poor family, was brought into court, charged with
drunkenness, and given the choice of prison or enlistment. He enlisted.
And then he began to think about the nature of the war.

On a Sunday morning, federal agents showed up at the Boston University
chapel, stomped their way through aisles clogged with students, smashed
down doors, and took Kroll away. From the stockade, he wrote back to
friends: "I ain't gonna kill; it's against my will...." A friend he had
made at the chapel brought him books, and he noted a saying he had found
in one of them: "What we have done will not be lost to all Eternity.
Everything ripens at its time and becomes fruit at its hour."

The GI antiwar movement became more organized. Near Fort Jackson,
South Carolina, the first "GI coffeehouse" was set up, a place where
soldiers could get coffee and doughnuts, find antiwar literature, and talk
freely with others. It was called the UFO, and lasted for several years
before it was declared a "public nuisance" and closed by court action. But
other GI coffeehouses sprang up in half a dozen other places across the
country. An antiwar "bookstore" was opened near Fort Devens,
Massachusetts, and another one at the Newport, Rhode Island, naval base.

Underground newspapers sprang up at military bases across the country; by
1970 more than fifty were circulating. Among them: About Face in Los
Angeles; Fed Up! in Tacoma, Washington; Short Times at Fort Jackson;
Vietnam Gl in Chicago; Graffiti in Heidelberg, Germany; Bragg Briefs in
North Carolina; Last Harass at Fort Gordon, Georgia; Helping Hand at
Mountain Home Air Base, Idaho. These newspapers printed antiwar articles,
gave news about the harassment of GIs and practical advice on the legal
rights of servicemen, told how to resist military domination.

Mixed with feeling against the war was resentment at the cruelty, the
dehumanization, of military life. In the army prisons, the stockades, this
was especially true. In 1968, at the Presidio stockade in California, a
guard shot to death an emotionally disturbed prisoner for walking away
from a work detail. Twenty-seven prisoners then sat down and refused to
work, singing "We Shall Overcome." They were court-martialed, found guilty
of mutiny, and sentenced to terms of up to fourteen years, later reduced
after much public attention and protest.

The dissidence spread to the war front itself. When the great Moratorium
Day demonstrations were taking place in October 1969 in the United States,
some GIs in Vietnam wore black armbands to show their support. A news
photographer reported that in a platoon on patrol near Da Nang, about half
of the men were wearing black armbands. One soldier stationed at Cu Chi
wrote to a friend on October 26, 1970, that separate companies had been
set up for men refusing to go into the field to fight. "It's no big thing
here anymore to refuse to go." The French newspaper Le Monde reported that
in four months, 109 soldiers of the first air cavalry division were
charged with refusal to fight. "A common sight," the correspondent for Le
Monde wrote, "is the black soldier, with his left fist clenched in
defiance of a war he has never considered his own."

Wallace Terry, a black American reporter for Time magazine, taped
conversations with hundreds of black soldiers; he found bitterness
against army racism, disgust with the war, generally low morale. More and
more cases of "fragging" were reported in Vietnam-incidents where
servicemen rolled fragmentation bombs under the tents of officers who were
ordering them into combat, or against whom they had other grievances. The
Pentagon reported 209 fraggings in Vietnam in 1970 alone.

Veterans back from Vietnam formed a group called Vietnam Veterans
Against the War. In December 1970, hundreds of them went to Detroit to
what was called the "Winter Soldier" investigations, to testify publicly
about atrocities they had participated in or seen in Vietnam, committed by
Americans against Vietnamese. In April 1971 more than a thousand of them
went to Washington, D.C., to demonstrate against the war. One by one, they
went up to a wire fence around the Capitol, threw over the fence the
medals they had won in Vietnam, and made brief statements about the war,
sometimes emotionally, sometimes in icy, bitter calm.

In the summer of 1970, twenty-eight commissioned officers of the
military, including some veterans of Vietnam, saying they represented
about 250 other officers, announced formation of the Concerned Officers
Movement against the war. During the fierce bombings of Hanoi and
Haiphong, around Christmas 1972, came the first defiance of B-52 pilots
who refused to fly those missions.

On June 3, 1973, the New York Times reported dropouts among West
Point cadets. Officials there, the reporter wrote, "linked the rate to an
affluent, less disciplined, skeptical, and questioning generation and to
the anti-military mood that a small radical minority and the Vietnam war
had created."

But most of the antiwar action came from ordinary GIs, and most of these
came from lower-income groups-white, black, Native American, Chinese.

A twenty-year-old New York City Chinese-American named Sam Choy
enlisted at seventeen in the army, was sent to Vietnam, was made a cook,
and found himself the target of abuse by fellow GIs, who called him
"Chink"

and "gook" (the term for the Vietnamese) and said he looked like the
enemy. One day he took a rifle and fired warning shots at his
tormentors. "By this time I was near the perimeter of the base and was
thinking of joining the Viet Cong; at least they would trust me. " Choy
was taken by military police, beaten, court-martialed, sentenced to
eighteen months of hard labor at Fort Leavenworth. "They beat me up every
day, like a time clock." He ended his interview with a New York Chinatown
newspaper saying: "One thing: I want to tell all the Chinese kids that the
army made me sick. They made me so sick that I can't stand it."

A dispatch from Phu Bai in April 1972 said that fifty GIs out of 142 men
in the company refused to go on patrol, crying: "This isn't our war!" The
New York Times on July 14,1973, reported that American prisoners of war in
Vietnam, ordered by officers in the POW camp to stop cooperating with the
enemy, shouted back: "Who's the enemy?" They formed a peace committee in
the camp, and a sergeant on the committee later recalled his march from
capture to the POW camp:

Until we got to the first camp, we didn't see a village intact; they
were all destroyed. I sat down and put myself in the middle and asked
myself: Is this right or wrong? Is it right to destroy villages? Is it
right to kill people en masse? After a while it just got to me.

Pentagon officials in Washington and navy spokesmen in San Diego
announced, after the United States withdrew its troops from Vietnam in
1973, that the navy was going to purge itself of "undesirables"- and that
these included as many as six thousand men in the Pacific fleet, "a
substantial proportion of them black." All together, about 563,000 GIs had
received less than honorable discharges. In the year 1973, one of every
five discharges was "less than honorable." indicating something less than
dutiful obedience to the military. By 1971, 177 of every 1,000 American
soldiers were listed as "absent without leave," some of them three or four
times. Deserters doubled from 47,000 in 1967 to 89,000 in 1971.

One of those who stayed, fought, but then turned against the war was
Ron Kovic. His father worked in a supermarket on Long Island. In 1963, at
the age of seventeen, he enlisted in the marines. Two years later, in
Vietnam, at the age of nineteen, his spine was shattered by shellfire.
Paralyzed from the waist down, he was put in a wheelchair. Back in the
States, he observed the brutal treatment of wounded veterans in the
veterans' hospitals, thought more and more about the war, and joined the
Vietnam Veterans Against the War. He went to demonstrations to speak
against the war. One evening he heard actor Donald Sutherland read from
the post-World War I novel by Dalton Trumbo, Johnny Got His Gun, about a
soldier whose limbs and face were shot away by gunfire, a thinking torso
who invented a way of communicating with the outside world and then beat
out a message so powerful it could not be heard without trembling.

Sutherland began to read the passage and something I will never forget
swept over me. It was as if someone was speaking for everything I ever
went through in the hospital.... I began to shake and I remember there
were tears in my eyes.

Kovic demonstrated against the war, and was arrested. He tells his story
in Born on the Fourth of July:

They help me back into the chair and take me to another part of the
prison building to be booked. "What's your name?" the officer behind the
desk says.

"Ron Kovic," I say. "Occupation, Vietnam veteran against the war."

"What?" he says sarcastically, looking down at me.

"I'm a Vietnam veteran against the war," I almost shout back.

"You should have died over there," he says. He turns to his assistant "I'd
like to take this guy and throw him off the roof."

They fingerprint me and take my picture and put me in a cell. I have
begun to wet my pants like a little baby. The tube has slipped out
during my examination by the doctor. I try to fall asleep but even
though I am exhausted, the anger is alive in me like a huge hot stone in
my chest. I lean my head up against the wall and listen to the toilets
flush again and again.

Kovic and the other veterans drove to Miami to the Republican National
Convention in 1972, went into the Convention Hall, wheeled themselves 
down
the aisles, and as Nixon began his acceptance speech shouted, "Stop the
bombing! Stop the war!" Delegates cursed them: "Traitor!" and Secret
Service men hustled them out of the hall.

In the fall of 1973, with no victory in sight and North Vietnamese
troops entrenched in various parts of the South, the United States
agreed to accept a settlement that would withdraw American troops and
leave the revolutionary troops where they were, until a new elected
government would be set up including Communist and non-Communist 
elements.
But the Saigon government refused to agree, and the United States decided
to make one final attempt to bludgeon the North Vietnamese into
submission. It sent waves of B-52s over Hanoi and Haiphong, destroying
homes and hospitals, killing unknown numbers of civilians. The attack did
not work. Many of the B-52s were shot down, there was angry protest all
over the world-and Kissinger went back to Paris and signed very much the
same peace agreement that had been agreed on before.

The United States withdrew its forces, continuing to give aid to the
Saigon government, but when the North Vietnamese launched at tacks in
early 1975 against the major cities in South Vietnam, the government
collapsed. In late April 1975, North Vietnamese troops entered Saigon. The
American embassy staff fled, along with many Vietnamese who feared
Communist rule, and the long war in Vietnam was over. Saigon was renamed
Ho Chi Minh City, and both parts of Vietnam were unified as the Democratic
Republic of Vietnam.

Traditional history portrays the end of wars as coming from the
initiatives of leaders-negotiations in Paris or Brussels or Geneva or
Versailles-just as it often finds the coming of war a response to the
demand of "the people." The Vietnam war gave clear evidence that at least
for that war (making one wonder about the others) the political leaders
were the last to take steps to end the war-"the people" were far ahead.
The President was always far behind. The Supreme Court silently turned
away from cases challenging the Constitutionality of the war. Congress was
years behind public opinion.

In the spring of 1971, syndicated columnists Rowland Evans and Robert
Novak, two firm supporters of the war, wrote regretfully of a "sudden
outbreak of anti-war emotionalism" in the House of Representatives, and
said: "The anti-war animosities now suddenly so pervasive among House
Democrats are viewed by Administration backers as less anti-Nixon than as
a response to constituent pressures."

It was only after the intervention in Cambodia ended, and only after the
nationwide campus uproar over that invasion, that Congress passed a
resolution declaring that American troops should not be sent into Cambodia
without its approval. And it was not until late 1973, when American troops
had finally been removed from Vietnam, that Congress passed a bill
limiting the power of the President to make war without congressional
consent; even there, in that "War Powers Resolution," the President could
make war for sixty days on his own without a congressional declaration.

The administration tried to persuade the American people that the war was
ending because of its decision to negotiate a peace-not because it was
losing the war, not because of the powerful antiwar movement in the United
States. But the government's own secret memoranda all through the war
testify to its sensitivity at each stage about "public opinion" in the
United States and abroad. The data is in the Pentagon Papers.

In June of 1964, top American military and State Department officials,
including Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, met in Honolulu. "Rusk stated 
that
public opinion on our SEA policy was badly divided and that, therefore,
the President needed an affirmation of support."

Diem had been replaced by a general named Khanh. The Pentagon
historians write: "Upon his return to Saigon on June 5 Ambassador Lodge
went straight from the airport to call on General Khanh... the main thrust
of his talk with Khanh was to hint that the United States Government would
in the immediate future be preparing U.S. public opinion for actions
against North Vietnam." Two months later came the Gulf of Tonkin affair.

On April 2, 1965, a memo from CIA director John McCone suggested that the
bombing of North Vietnam be increased because it was "not sufficiently
severe" to change North Vietnam's policy. "On the other hand... we can
expect increasing pressure to stop the bombing... from various elements of
the American public, from the press, the United Nations and world
opinion." The U.S. should try for a fast knockout before this opinion
could build up, McCone said.

Assistant Secretary of Defense John McNaughton's memo of early 1966
suggested destruction of locks and dams to create mass starvation,
because "strikes at population targets" would "create a
counterproductive wave of revulsion abroad and at home." In May 1967, the
Pentagon historians write: "McNaughton was also very deeply concerned
about the breadth and intensity of public unrest and dissatisfaction with
the war... especially with young people, the underprivileged, the
intelligentsia and the women." McNaughton worried: "Will the move to call
up 20,000 Reserves... polarize opinion to the extent that the 'doves' in
the United States will get out of hand-massive refusals to serve, or to
fight, or to cooperate, or worse?" He warned:

There may be a limit beyond which many Americans and much of the
world will not permit the United States to go. The picture of the world's
greatest superpower killing or seriously injuring 1000 non-combatants a
week, while trying to pound a tiny backward nation into submission, on an
issue whose merits are hotly disputed, is not a pretty one. It could
conceivably produce a costly distortion in the American national
consciousness.

                               *

One sign that the ideas of the antiwar movement had taken hold in the
American public was that juries became more reluctant to convict antiwar
protesters, and local judges too were treating them differently. In
Washington, by 1971, judges were dismissing charges against demonstrators
in cases where two years before they almost certainly would have been sent
to jail. The antiwar groups who had raided draft boards- the Baltimore
Four, the Catonsville Nine, the Milwaukee Fourteen, the Boston Five, and
more-were receiving lighter sentences for the same crimes.

The last group of draft board raiders, the "Camden 28," were priests,
nuns, and laypeople who raided a draft board in Camden, New Jersey, in
August 1971. It was essentially what the Baltimore Four had done four
years earlier, when all were convicted and Phil Berrigan got six years in
prison. But in this instance, the Camden defendants were acquitted by the
jury on all counts. When the verdict was in, one of the jurors, a
fifty-three-year-old black taxi driver from Atlantic City named Samuel
Braithwaite, who had spent eleven years in the army, left a letter for the
defendants:

To you, the clerical physicians with your God-given talents, I say, well
done. Well done for trying to heal the sick irresponsible men, men who
were chosen by the people to govern and lead them. These men, who failed
the people, by raining death and destruction on a hapless country.. You
went out to do your part while your brothers remained in their ivory
towers watching... and hopefully some day in the near future, peace and
harmony may reign to people of all nations.

Hi Tribe,
 
Thought I'd share this with everyone. 
 
Peace and Blessings ~ Jonathon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bush is my shepherd; I dwell in want.

He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests.

He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness.

He restoreth my fears.

He leadeth me in the paths of international disgrace for his ego's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of pollution and war, I will find no exit, for thou art in office.

Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy media control, they discomfort me.

Thou preparest an agenda of deception in the presence of thy religion.

Thou anointest my head with foreign oil.

My health insurance runneth out.

Surely megalomania and false patriotism shall follow me all the days of thy term,

And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement forever.

How I recall being summoned to the Nixon White House by Ms. Lincoln and
Leonard Garment. The President wanted an opinion. It was quite an interview.
At that time I was even more convinced that we were going to have another
Civil War.

 Hello all,

My name is Russ Carlson, way back when, most knew me as Rusty, and I am sending this intro mail to put the word out there, that I am fine and doing well. Never joined this type of list before, so I am not sure how much info is needed from me to start making contact with ex-HAIR folks.

To refresh some memories, I started with HAIR as an assistant stage manager with the LA production in the Fall of 1969. Stayed with the show until it closed in 1971. I then became the PSM for the National tour. I joined in Milwaukee and stayed well into 1972.

>From then to now is too long of a story, but briefly, I am now and have been for the last 15 years been a lighting director/gaffer for a large production house in Columbus, Ohio. The name of the company is Mills\James Productions. This job has kept me incredibly busy over that time. We do corporate videos, broadcast shows, make commercials regionally and nationally,and do live corporate events all over the planet.  I have designed lights for such large corporate events such as Honda of America, Express, Scotts, SBC,Victoria's Secret, J.P. Morgan Chase, and too many to go on. I won a regional emmy for a major event the United Nations did here in Columbus. Sort of fun, I guess.

Hope this is enough to create some curiosity out there. My best to all.

Peace,Love,Groovy Good Vibes,

I tried to find that photo on the internet of Hibiscus (George) putting the flower into the rifle barrel and could not... I tried for over an hour... Any suggestions? I am guessing Life magazine has such a hold on that photo no one has it.

Thanks for reminding us of this date Doris. Personally it's a day I'll never 
forget. I was hanging in Ohio at the time and heading down to the local park 
where all the freaks used to hang out. Suddenly a car pulled over to the 
side of the road and a brother jumped out & dashed over to me and simply 
said, "They got one of us today!" He briefly explained what went down and 
then took off. With tears in my eyes I headed to join my compadres in prayer 
& meditation.

PEACE,
Leo

Ha Sherwin,

I want to go to Bridgeport to, I do not know if  I can make it or not I am 
planing on it though.
My friends The Rowan Brothers came in town an I opend there show with a 
magic act. It was great the place was packed an I did something that I have 
never done before I changed my act at the last moment to a comidy magic act 
and did my light switchboarb whitch went off just grate. I also did my Andy 
routine the Pam Pam stick.that always gets a laff. If there is anyway I can 
get to Bridgeport I will but is  not likey, I will be there in spirit if I 
don't make it.


Peace, Love, & Blessings
~~Charles~~

Wow!  Hi Russ -
Welcome to the group!  We cannot wait to hear your comments, 
recollections, rants and raves.  I will never forget what a terrific and 
understanding PSM you were on the Mercury tour.  It's great to know you 
are doing so well.

I have a number of photos of you back then, including a few of you 
running a rehearsal, that have been donated to List Mama Nina's amazing 
Hair Online Archive.  Check out the photos third and fourth from the top 
on this page:

http://www.michaelbutler.com/hair/holding/photographs/hair/Mercury7.html

...Cool, huh?  I wonder what untold riches are lurking in boxes at YOUR 
house ;-)????

Lots more to come -
Peace, Love, Liberty, Happiness -
Bill

    Apocalypse Soon
    By Robert S. McNamara
    Foreign Policy

    May/June 2005 Issue

    Robert McNamara is worried. He knows how close we've come. His counsel
helped the Kennedy administration avert nuclear catastrophe during the Cuban
Missile Crisis. Today, he believes the United States must no longer rely on
nuclear weapons as a foreign-policy tool. To do so is immoral, illegal and
dreadfully dangerous.

    
(Photo: foreignpolicy.com)
    
    It is time - well past time, in my view - for the United States to cease
its Cold War-style reliance on nuclear weapons as a foreign-policy tool. At
the risk of appearing simplistic and provocative, I would characterize
current US nuclear weapons policy as immoral, illegal, militarily
unnecessary, and dreadfully dangerous. The risk of an accidental or
inadvertent nuclear launch is unacceptably high. Far from reducing these
risks, the Bush administration has signaled that it is committed to keeping
the US nuclear arsenal as a mainstay of its military power - a commitment
that is simultaneously eroding the international norms that have limited the
spread of nuclear weapons and fissile materials for 50 years. Much of the
current US nuclear policy has been in place since before I was secretary of
defense, and it has only grown more dangerous and diplomatically destructive
in the intervening years.

    Today, the United States has deployed approximately 4,500 strategic,
offensive nuclear warheads. Russia has roughly 3,800. The strategic forces
of Britain, France, and China are considerably smaller, with 200?400 nuclear
weapons in each state's arsenal. The new nuclear states of Pakistan and
India have fewer than 100 weapons each. North Korea now claims to have
developed nuclear weapons, and US intelligence agencies estimate that
Pyongyang has enough fissile material for 2?8 bombs.

    How destructive are these weapons? The average US warhead has a
destructive power 20 times that of the Hiroshima bomb. Of the 8,000 active
or operational US warheads, 2,000 are on hair-trigger alert, ready to be
launched on 15 minutes' warning. How are these weapons to be used? The
United States has never endorsed the policy of "no first use," not during my
seven years as secretary or since. We have been and remain prepared to
initiate the use of nuclear weapons - by the decision of one person, the
president - against either a nuclear or nonnuclear enemy whenever we believe
it is in our interest to do so. For decades, US nuclear forces have been
sufficiently strong to absorb a first strike and then inflict "unacceptable"
damage on an opponent. This has been and (so long as we face a
nuclear-armed, potential adversary) must continue to be the foundation of
our nuclear deterrent.

    In my time as secretary of defense, the commander of the US Strategic
Air Command (SAC) carried with him a secure telephone, no matter where he
went, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The telephone of
the commander, whose headquarters were in Omaha, Nebraska, was linked to the
underground command post of the North American Defense Command, deep inside
Cheyenne Mountain, in Colorado, and to the US president, wherever he
happened to be. The president always had at hand nuclear release codes in
the so-called football, a briefcase carried for the president at all times
by a US military officer.

    The SAC commander's orders were to answer the telephone by no later than
the end of the third ring. If it rang, and he was informed that a nuclear
attack of enemy ballistic missiles appeared to be under way, he was allowed
2 to 3 minutes to decide whether the warning was valid (over the years, the
United States has received many false warnings), and if so, how the United
States should respond. He was then given approximately 10 minutes to
determine what to recommend, to locate and advise the president, permit the
president to discuss the situation with two or three close advisors
(presumably the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff), and to receive the president's decision and pass it immediately,
along with the codes, to the launch sites. The president essentially had two
options: He could decide to ride out the attack and defer until later any
decision to launch a retaliatory strike. Or, he could order an immediate
retaliatory strike, from a menu of options, thereby launching US weapons
that were targeted on the opponent's military-industrial assets. Our
opponents in Moscow presumably had and have similar arrangements.

    The whole situation seems so bizarre as to be beyond belief. On any
given day, as we go about our business, the president is prepared to make a
decision within 20 minutes that could launch one of the most devastating
weapons in the world. To declare war requires an act of congress, but to
launch a nuclear holocaust requires 20 minutes' deliberation by the
president and his advisors. But that is what we have lived with for 40
years. With very few changes, this system remains largely intact, including
the "football," the president's constant companion.

    I was able to change some of these dangerous policies and procedures. My
colleagues and I started arms control talks; we installed safeguards to
reduce the risk of unauthorized launches; we added options to the nuclear
war plans so that the president did not have to choose between an
all-or-nothing response, and we eliminated the vulnerable and provocative
nuclear missiles in Turkey. I wish I had done more, but we were in the midst
of the Cold War, and our options were limited.

    The United States and our NATO allies faced a strong Soviet and Warsaw
Pact conventional threat. Many of the allies (and some in Washington as
well) felt strongly that preserving the US option of launching a first
strike was necessary for the sake of keeping the Soviets at bay. What is
shocking is that today, more than a decade after the end of the Cold War,
the basic US nuclear policy is unchanged. It has not adapted to the collapse
of the Soviet Union. Plans and procedures have not been revised to make the
United States or other countries less likely to push the button. At a
minimum, we should remove all strategic nuclear weapons from "hair-trigger"
alert, as others have recommended, including Gen. George Lee Butler, the
last commander of SAC. That simple change would greatly reduce the risk of
an accidental nuclear launch. It would also signal to other states that the
United States is taking steps to end its reliance on nuclear weapons.

    We pledged to work in good faith toward the eventual elimination of
nuclear arsenals when we negotiated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
(NPT) in 1968. In May, diplomats from more than 180 nations are meeting in
New York City to review the NPT and assess whether members are living up to
the agreement. The United States is focused, for understandable reasons, on
persuading North Korea to rejoin the treaty and on negotiating deeper
constraints on Iran's nuclear ambitions. Those states must be convinced to
keep the promises they made when they originally signed the NPT - that they
would not build nuclear weapons in return for access to peaceful uses of
nuclear energy. But the attention of many nations, including some potential
new nuclear weapons states, is also on the United States. Keeping such large
numbers of weapons, and maintaining them on hair-trigger alert, are potent
signs that the United States is not seriously working toward the elimination
of its arsenal and raises troubling questions as to why any other state
should restrain its nuclear ambitions.

    A Preview of the Apocalypse

    The destructive power of nuclear weapons is well known, but given the
United States' continued reliance on them, it's worth remembering the danger
they present. A 2000 report by the International Physicians for the
Prevention of Nuclear War describes the likely effects of a single 1 megaton
weapon - dozens of which are contained in the Russian and US inventories. At
ground zero, the explosion creates a crater 300 feet deep and 1,200 feet in
diameter. Within one second, the atmosphere itself ignites into a fireball
more than a half-mile in diameter. The surface of the fireball radiates
nearly three times the light and heat of a comparable area of the surface of
the sun, extinguishing in seconds all life below and radiating outward at
the speed of light, causing instantaneous severe burns to people within one
to three miles. A blast wave of compressed air reaches a distance of three
miles in about 12 seconds, flattening factories and commercial buildings.
Debris carried by winds of 250 mph inflicts lethal injuries throughout the
area. At least 50 percent of people in the area die immediately, prior to
any injuries from radiation or the developing firestorm.

    Of course, our knowledge of these effects is not entirely hypothetical.
Nuclear weapons, with roughly one seventieth of the power of the 1 megaton
bomb just described, were twice used by the United States in August 1945.
One atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Around 80,000 people died
immediately; approximately 200,000 died eventually. Later, a similar size
bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. On Nov. 7, 1995, the mayor of Nagasaki
recalled his memory of the attack in testimony to the International Court of
Justice:

    Nagasaki became a city of death where not even the sound of insects
could be heard. After a while, countless men, women and children began to
gather for a drink of water at the banks of nearby Urakami River, their hair
and clothing scorched and their burnt skin hanging off in sheets like rags.
Begging for help they died one after another in the water or in heaps on the
banks.? Four months after the atomic bombing, 74,000 people were dead, and
75,000 had suffered injuries, that is, two-thirds of the city population had
fallen victim to this calamity that came upon Nagasaki like a preview of the
Apocalypse.

    Why did so many civilians have to die? Because the civilians, who made
up nearly 100 percent of the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, were
unfortunately "co-located" with Japanese military and industrial targets.
Their annihilation, though not the objective of those dropping the bombs,
was an inevitable result of the choice of those targets. It is worth noting
that during the Cold War, the United States reportedly had dozens of nuclear
warheads targeted on Moscow alone, because it contained so many military
targets and so much "industrial capacity."

    Presumably, the Soviets similarly targeted many US cities. The statement
that our nuclear weapons do not target populations per se was and remains
totally misleading in the sense that the so-called collateral damage of
large nuclear strikes would include tens of millions of innocent civilian
dead.

    This in a nutshell is what nuclear weapons do: They indiscriminately
blast, burn, and irradiate with a speed and finality that are almost
incomprehensible. This is exactly what countries like the United States and
Russia, with nuclear weapons on hair-trigger alert, continue to threaten
every minute of every day in this new 21st century.

    No Way to Win

    I have worked on issues relating to US and NATO nuclear strategy and war
plans for more than 40 years. During that time, I have never seen a piece of
paper that outlined a plan for the United States or NATO to initiate the use
of nuclear weapons with any benefit for the United States or NATO. I have
made this statement in front of audiences, including NATO defense ministers
and senior military leaders, many times. No one has ever refuted it. To
launch weapons against a nuclear-equipped opponent would be suicidal. To do
so against a nonnuclear enemy would be militarily unnecessary, morally
repugnant, and politically indefensible.

    I reached these conclusions very soon after becoming secretary of
defense. Although I believe Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson
shared my view, it was impossible for any of us to make such statements
publicly because they were totally contrary to established NATO policy.
After leaving the Defense Department, I became president of the World Bank.
During my 13-year tenure, from 1968 to 1981, I was prohibited, as an
employee of an international institution, from commenting publicly on issues
of US national security. After my retirement from the bank, I began to
reflect on how I, with seven years' experience as secretary of defense,
might contribute to an understanding of the issues with which I began my
public service career.

    At that time, much was being said and written regarding how the United
States could, and why it should, be able to fight and win a nuclear war with
the Soviets. This view implied, of course, that nuclear weapons did have
military utility; that they could be used in battle with ultimate gain to
whoever had the largest force or used them with the greatest acumen. Having
studied these views, I decided to go public with some information that I
knew would be controversial, but that I felt was needed to inject reality
into these increasingly unreal discussions about the military utility of
nuclear weapons. In articles and speeches, I criticized the fundamentally
flawed assumption that nuclear weapons could be used in some limited way.
There is no way to effectively contain a nuclear strike - to keep it from
inflicting enormous destruction on civilian life and property, and there is
no guarantee against unlimited escalation once the first nuclear strike
occurs. We cannot avoid the serious and unacceptable risk of nuclear war
until we recognize these facts and base our military plans and policies upon
this recognition. I hold these views even more strongly today than I did
when I first spoke out against the nuclear dangers our policies were
creating. I know from direct experience that US nuclear policy today creates
unacceptable risks to other nations and to our own.

    What Castro Taught Us

    Among the costs of maintaining nuclear weapons is the risk - to me an
unacceptable risk - of use of the weapons either by accident or as a result
of misjudgment or miscalculation in times of crisis. The Cuban Missile
Crisis demonstrated that the United States and the Soviet Union - and indeed
the rest of the world - came within a hair's breadth of nuclear disaster in
October 1962.

    Indeed, according to former Soviet military leaders, at the height of
the crisis, Soviet forces in Cuba possessed 162 nuclear warheads, including
at least 90 tactical warheads. At about the same time, Cuban President Fidel
Castro asked the Soviet ambassador to Cuba to send a cable to Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev stating that Castro urged him to counter a US attack with
a nuclear response. Clearly, there was a high risk that in the face of a US
attack, which many in the US government were prepared to recommend to
President Kennedy, the Soviet forces in Cuba would have decided to use their
nuclear weapons rather than lose them. Only a few years ago did we learn
that the four Soviet submarines trailing the US Naval vessels near Cuba each
carried torpedoes with nuclear warheads. Each of the sub commanders had the
authority to launch his torpedoes. The situation was even more frightening
because, as the lead commander recounted to me, the subs were out of
communication with their Soviet bases, and they continued their patrols for
four days after Khrushchev announced the withdrawal of the missiles from
Cuba.

    The lesson, if it had not been clear before, was made so at a conference
on the crisis held in Havana in 1992, when we first began to learn from
former Soviet officials about their preparations for nuclear war in the
event of a US invasion. Near the end of that meeting, I asked Castro whether
he would have recommended that Khrushchev use the weapons in the face of a
US invasion, and if so, how he thought the United States would respond. "We
started from the assumption that if there was an invasion of Cuba, nuclear
war would erupt," Castro replied. "We were certain of that?. [W]e would be
forced to pay the price that we would disappear." He continued, "Would I
have been ready to use nuclear weapons? Yes, I would have agreed to the use
of nuclear weapons." And he added, "If Mr. McNamara or Mr. Kennedy had been
in our place, and had their country been invaded, or their country was going
to be occupied ? I believe they would have used tactical nuclear weapons."

    I hope that President Kennedy and I would not have behaved as Castro
suggested we would have. His decision would have destroyed his country. Had
we responded in a similar way the damage to the United States would have
been unthinkable. But human beings are fallible. In conventional war,
mistakes cost lives, sometimes thousands of lives. However, if mistakes were
to affect decisions relating to the use of nuclear forces, there would be no
learning curve. They would result in the destruction of nations. The
indefinite combination of human fallibility and nuclear weapons carries a
very high risk of nuclear catastrophe. There is no way to reduce the risk to
acceptable levels, other than to first eliminate the hair-trigger alert
policy and later to eliminate or nearly eliminate nuclear weapons. The
United States should move immediately to institute these actions, in
cooperation with Russia. That is the lesson of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

    A Dangerous Obsession

    On Nov. 13, 2001, President George W. Bush announced that he had told
Russian President Vladimir Putin that the United States would reduce
"operationally deployed nuclear warheads" from approximately 5,300 to a
level between 1,700 and 2,200 over the next decade. This scaling back would
approach the 1,500 to 2,200 range that Putin had proposed for Russia.
However, the Bush administration's Nuclear Posture Review, mandated by the
US Congress and issued in January 2002, presents quite a different story. It
assumes that strategic offensive nuclear weapons in much larger numbers than
1,700 to 2,200 will be part of US military forces for the next several
decades. Although the number of deployed warheads will be reduced to 3,800
in 2007 and to between 1,700 and 2,200 by 2012, the warheads and many of the
launch vehicles taken off deployment will be maintained in a "responsive"
reserve from which they could be moved back to the operationally deployed
force. The Nuclear Posture Review received little attention from the media.
But its emphasis on strategic offensive nuclear weapons deserves vigorous
public scrutiny. Although any proposed reduction is welcome, it is doubtful
that survivors - if there were any - of an exchange of 3,200 warheads (the
US and Russian numbers projected for 2012), with a destructive power
approximately 65,000 times that of the Hiroshima bomb, could detect a
difference between the effects of such an exchange and one that would result
from the launch of the current US and Russian forces totaling about 12,000
warheads.

    In addition to projecting the deployment of large numbers of strategic
nuclear weapons far into the future, the Bush administration is planning an
extensive and expensive series of programs to sustain and modernize the
existing nuclear force and to begin studies for new launch vehicles, as well
as new warheads for all of the launch platforms. Some members of the
administration have called for new nuclear weapons that could be used as
bunker busters against underground shelters (such as the shelters Saddam
Hussein used in Baghdad). New production facilities for fissile materials
would need to be built to support the expanded force. The plans provide for
integrating a national ballistic missile defense into the new triad of
offensive weapons to enhance the nation's ability to use its "power
projection forces" by improving our ability to counterattack an enemy. The
Bush administration also announced that it has no intention to ask congress
to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), and, though no decision
to test has been made, the administration has ordered the national
laboratories to begin research on new nuclear weapons designs and to prepare
the underground test sites in Nevada for nuclear tests if necessary in the
future. Clearly, the Bush administration assumes that nuclear weapons will
be part of US military forces for at least the next several decades.

    Good faith participation in international negotiation on nuclear
disarmament - including participation in the CTBT - is a legal and political
obligation of all parties to the NPT that entered into force in 1970 and was
extended indefinitely in 1995. The Bush administration's nuclear program,
alongside its refusal to ratify the CTBT, will be viewed, with reason, by
many nations as equivalent to a US break from the treaty. It says to the
nonnuclear weapons nations, "We, with the strongest conventional military
force in the world, require nuclear weapons in perpetuity, but you, facing
potentially well-armed opponents, are never to be allowed even one nuclear
weapon."

    If the United States continues its current nuclear stance, over time,
substantial proliferation of nuclear weapons will almost surely follow.
Some, or all, of such nations as Egypt, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and
Taiwan will very likely initiate nuclear weapons programs, increasing both
the risk of use of the weapons and the diversion of weapons and fissile
materials into the hands of rogue states or terrorists. Diplomats and
intelligence agencies believe Osama bin Laden has made several attempts to
acquire nuclear weapons or fissile materials. It has been widely reported
that Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood, former director of Pakistan's nuclear
reactor complex, met with bin Laden several times. Were al Qaeda to acquire
fissile materials, especially enriched uranium, its ability to produce
nuclear weapons would be great. The knowledge of how to construct a simple
gun-type nuclear device, like the one we dropped on Hiroshima, is now
widespread. Experts have little doubt that terrorists could construct such a
primitive device if they acquired the requisite enriched uranium material.
Indeed, just last summer, at a meeting of the National Academy of Sciences,
former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry said, "I have never been more
fearful of a nuclear detonation than now.? There is a greater than 50
percent probability of a nuclear strike on US targets within a decade." I
share his fears.

    A Moment of Decision

    We are at a critical moment in human history - perhaps not as dramatic
as that of the Cuban Missile Crisis, but a moment no less crucial. Neither
the Bush administration, the congress, the American people, nor the people
of other nations have debated the merits of alternative, long-range nuclear
weapons policies for their countries or the world. They have not examined
the military utility of the weapons; the risk of inadvertent or accidental
use; the moral and legal considerations relating to the use or threat of use
of the weapons; or the impact of current policies on proliferation. Such
debates are long overdue. If they are held, I believe they will conclude, as
have I and an increasing number of senior military leaders, politicians, and
civilian security experts: We must move promptly toward the elimination - or
near elimination - of all nuclear weapons. For many, there is a strong
temptation to cling to the strategies of the past 40 years. But to do so
would be a serious mistake leading to unacceptable risks for all nations.

This is one of the nicest mails I have seen:

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked
side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the
Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."
I looked around in this area, and it 

was terribly busy with so many angels sorting 
out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all
over the world. Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the
second section.

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.
Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and
delivered to the living persons who asked for them."

I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard
at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being
packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a
very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there,
idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend
quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed. "How is it that? There's no
work going on here?" I asked.

"So sad," the angel sighed "After people receive the blessings that they
asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.

"Simple," the angel answered. "Just say, "Thank you, Lord."

"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead
and a place to sleep ... you are richer than 75% of this world. 
"If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish,
you are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the
world who has that opportunity."

Also ......

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ...... you are
more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are
ahead of 700 million people in the world.

"If you can attend a church meeting without  fear of harassment, arrest,
torture or death ... you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion
people in the world.

"If your parents are still alive and still married. You are very rare.

If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you are unique
to all those in doubt and despair."

Ok, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that
someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than
over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to
remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

    This is one of the nicest mails I have seen:

    I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

    My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received." I looked around in this area, and it 

    was terribly busy with so many angels sorting 
    out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world. Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

    The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and
    delivered to the living persons who asked for them."

    I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Richard,
Yes, London can be a bit cold and depressing at
times.I Love Paris .
I would live there as well but I spend most of my time
in Ca and London,Germany. I model for a living and I
have to travel way too much.  I  met a few of the
people in London that were doing or talking about
doing Hair in London.
I am very interested in what is happening with the
production here in the states and I have been
following it for the last 5 years . NY, a bit rough at
times but you have to know where to go and not to go
if you know what I mean . I am doing a shoot in the
next few days here in LA very retro clothing so ,I
listen to the music and it inspires me ! 
GiaRose

Richard,
I am half Italian and Jewish too. My Mother is Italian
and my father is Jewish . I was born into the Jewish
Community because my Mother converted but , I like to
go to mass in Europe.
The entire cathedral thing in Europe is so beautiful.
I love the Jewish food though , so I guess I eat it
when I can but with my work I have to eat on the run
and not too much . 
I am doing some reading on the past and history of
hair from the web-sight and this is all so exciting !
It sounds like you are all having so much fun . 
Enjoy and have a nice evening!
GiaRose

Thank you all so much for the information given so
freely. I just returned from a day of  working with
people that I shared all this exciting news with.
I feel so blessed to have come across this sight after
doing a search as to where I could see the production
in Europe.

You have all been so kind in welcoming me and guiding
me to the right place .

I will try to catch one of the productions in Europe.
I am very happy to know that this is all still going
on and continuing to be a part of everyones lives . 

I have always loved Hair and my respect for the
writers and production people is of high esteem.

Thank you,Thank you ,
GiaRose

Message-ID: <200505120238.j4C2cNp2027077@dune.islandtechnologies.net>

Some of you won't know what Burma Shave signs mean, we
older folks can remember them. It was one of the
things I remember when us kids would stop fighting in
the back seat. Mom would just have to say " Burma
shave", and we'd all try to be the first to read them
out loud. Our sister Sandi usually won because she got
to sit in front and we three boys had to sit in the
backseat. Not fair, she can see them first".  WAH Wah.
That was our quick fix for another few miles till the
next one. Poor older brother Calvin, my twin brother
and I about drove him wild. He made it though, he is
now 64, a little crazy maybe, but he is still with us.
Enjoy Jerry

Thought you might enjoy these. 

Those Grand Old Burma   Shave Road Signs

Burma Shave

SHE  KISSED THE HAIRBRUSH

Burma Shave

Remember these? For those who never saw any of the  
Burma Shave signs, here is a quick lesson in our
history 
of the 1930's and  '40's. Before there were
interstates, 
when everyone drove the old 2 lane roads,  Burma Shave

signs would be posted all over the countryside in
farmers'
fields. They were small red signs with white letters.
Five 
signs,  about 100 feet apart, each containing 1 line
of a 
4 line couplet......and the  obligatory 5th sign
advertising 
Burma Shave, a popular shaving cream. Here  are more 
of the actual signs:

DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD

YOU NEED YOUR HEAD

Burma  Shave

Thank you, Gerald,  for sending these, THEY ARE HILARIOUS.
Not having grown up here in America, I never heard of Burma Shave 
and never saw one of those, but they are definitely worth keeping.

Some of you won't know what Burma Shave signs mean, we
older folks can remember them. It was one of the
things I remember when us kids would stop fighting in
the back seat. Mom would just have to say " Burma
shave", and we'd all try to be the first to read them
out loud. Our sister Sandi usually won because she got
to sit in front and we three boys had to sit in the
backseat. Not fair, she can see them first".  WAH Wah.
That was our quick fix for another few miles till the
next one. Poor older brother Calvin, my twin brother

Published on Friday, May 13, 2005 by CommonDreams.org
Stop the Crime of the Century
by David Michael Green
 
In Iraq, there is a crime of breathtaking proportions taking place. 
Breathtaking, but necessarily surprising. We know from the historical 
record that governments will lie and deceive, and we've rarely seen 
one as immoral and venal as the Bush administration.

What has turned this crime into an astonishing demonstration of the 
depth of American democracy's decay is the complicity of the media 
establishment in hiding the original crime, and in thus doing so, ripping 
a gaping hole in the fabric of our political system.

Did you know that there now exists in the public domain a 'smoking 
gun' memo, which proves that everything the Bush administration said 
about the Iraq invasion was a lie? If you live in Britain you probably do, 
but if you live in the United States, chances are minuscule that you 
would be aware of this.

Think about that for a second. Apart from 9/11, has there been a more 
important story in the last decade than that the president lied to the 
American people about the reasons for invading Iraq, and then 
proceeded to plunge the country into an illegal war which has alienated 
the rest of the world, lit a fire under the war's victims and the Islamic 
world generally, turning them into enemy combatants, locked up 
virtually all American land forces in a war without end in sight, cost 
$300 billion and counting, taken over 1600 American lives on top of 
more than 15,000 gravely wounded, and killed perhaps 100,000 
Iraqis?

Could there be a bigger story? "How Do Japanese Dump Trash?", 
perhaps, which ran on page one of today's (May 12) Times?

Of course not. But then how is it that this is not being reported in the 
American mainstream media? How is it that the two organs most 
responsible for coverage of political developments in this country - the 
New York Times and the Washington Post - have failed to splash this 
across their front pages in bold headlines, despite the fact that they 
clearly know of the story? How, especially, could these two papers sit 
on a story like this after both recently issued mea culpas for their 
respective failures to critically cover administration claims of bogus 
Iraqi threats during the period leading up to the war, thereby 
contributing to the war themselves?

>From the Bush administration and the current generation of 
Republicans, I expect nothing but the most debased and vile politics. 
And, of course, ditto for Fox News and the rest of the overtly right-wing 
media. But I have been naive enough, until now, to believe that at least 
some of the American mainstream media has not climbed completely 
into bed with those destroyers of all that is decent about American 
democracy. Apparently I've been a fool.

Here is the story we are not being told.

Several days before their election last week (May 5), a patriot within 
the highest circle of British government leaked to the Times of London 
a memo, which proves the degree of deceit to which both the 
Americans and British publics have been subjected on the subject of 
the Iraq war. You were never supposed to see this document 
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1593607,00.html). It is 
headlined in bold with this warning: "This record is extremely sensitive. 
No further copies should be made. It should be shown only to those 
with a genuine need to know its contents."

The memo provides minutes from a meeting of Tony Blair's most 
exclusive war cabinet, held in July of 2002. In the meeting, two of 
Blair's top officials report on discussions they had just held in 
Washington with officials at the top levels of the Bush administration.

Before describing the contents of the memo, it is important to note that 
nobody in the British government has denied to even the slightest 
degree the authenticity of this document. A highly placed American 
source has verified, off the record, that it is completely accurate in its 
recounting of the events described. And Tony Blair's only comment 
has been that there is 'nothing new' contained in the memo. This could 
not be more false. The memo proves beyond doubt the following: * 
The Bush administration had decided by July 2002, at the latest, to 
invade Iraq. The memo says that "Military action was now seen as 
inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action..." 
Later in the memo it notes that "It seemed clear that Bush had made 
up his mind to take military action". This means the claims that the 
president did not have a war plan on his desk at that time are now 
proven lies. It means that the whole kabuki dance of going to 
Congress, going to the UN, sending over weapons inspectors, pulling 
them out before they could finish their work, requiring Iraq to report to 
the Security Council on its weapons of mass destruction, then 
immediately rejecting their report as incomplete and deceitful - all of 
this - was a completely counterfeit exercise conducting for public 
relations purposes only. It also means that when former Treasury 
Secretary Paul O'Neill and former terrorism czar Richard Clarke 
reported that Bush had planned to attack Iraq from the beginning, they 
- rather than the administration which was personally savaging them as 
loonies - were telling the truth.

* The Bush and Blair administrations knew that the argument for war 
against Iraq was weak. As Foreign Secretary Jack Straw notes in the 
meeting, "But the case was thin. Saddam was not threatening his 
neighbours, and his WMD capability was less than that of Libya, North 
Korea or Iran". This is proof that Iraq was never anything like the 
serious threat it was portrayed to be before the war, and that both 
administrations knew that it was no threat, but knowingly and 
completely oversold the necessity for the war with their massive 
phalanx of lies and distortions.

* Because the case was thin, the war would have to be "...justified by 
the conjunction of terrorism and WMD". This proves that former 
Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz wasn't kidding when he let 
slip that the weapons of mass destruction argument was decided on by 
the administration for "bureaucratic reasons", meaning a rationale that 
all the leading actors within the administration could agree on as the 
most effective public relations device for marketing the war.

* Both the Bush and Blair administrations manipulated intelligence to 
get what they wanted in order to justify the war, and knew that they 
were doing precisely that. As the memo states, "...the intelligence and 
facts were being fixed around the policy". This is the most \ remarkable 
statement of all, as it makes clear that the decision to invade had 
nothing to do with facts or any sort of real threat. Rather, it was simply 
a preference of the Bush administration (and probably just a personal 
one for Bush), which then became its policy, for which they then 
twisted and fabricated information and disinformation in order to sell 
the war to a rightly skeptical public.

* The war was illegal. Kofi Annan and the international community 
clearly believed that the war was a violation of international law. But we 
now also know that the British Attorney-General, who has to rule on 
this point (the question of the legality of launching a war is traditionally 
far less significant, unfortunately, in the American political tradition), 
"said that the desire for regime change was not a legal base for military 
action. There were three possible legal bases: self-defence, 
humanitarian intervention, or UNSC authorisation [which was never 
ultimately obtained from the Security Council]. The first and second 
could not be the base in this case. Relying on UNSCR 1205 of three 
years ago would be difficult. The situation might change of course." 
Yes, of course. Then, again, if it didn't, one could always just lie about 
it.

* Knowing that the war was neither legal nor morally justifiable, the 
American and British governments therefore sought to find a way to 
make the war politically acceptable by baiting Saddam. As the memo 
notes, "We should work up a plan for an ultimatum to Saddam to allow 
back in the UN weapons inspectors. This would also help with the legal 
justification for the use of force". And, "The Prime Minister said that it 
would make a big difference politically and legally if Saddam refused to 
allow in the UN inspectors". And, "If the political context were right, 
people would support regime change".

* Well before the war was 'justified', even in the bogus sense of 
Washington's and London's inspections and UN resolutions game, it 
had lready begun. The memo states that the "US had already begun 
'spikes of activity' to put pressure on the regime".

* Finally, it is worth noting that, even putting legal and moral questions 
aside, the memo also substantiates the sheer strategic incompetence 
of the administration, a failure which has, of course, produced 
excessive loss of life. It states that "There was little discussion in 
Washington of the aftermath after military action".

Let's review the bidding here.

We now have definitive, verified and undenied evidence documenting 
a panoply of lies told to the American and world publics about the 
invasion of Iraq, a bloody war which was neither legally nor morally 
justified, despite overt attempts to make it so by those who wished to 
launch it.

On top of that crime, we can now also add that of America's fourth 
estate, which has completely abdicated its role and responsibility to 
present this crucial bombshell of information to the public.

It gets worse, however. Eighty-nine members of Congress have taken 
note of the items described above, as well as a separate secret 
briefing for Blair's meeting, in which it was agreed that "Britain and 
America had to 'create' conditions to justify a war", and have sent a 
letter to the president 
(http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/letters/bushsecretmemoltr5
505.pdf), demanding a response.

And, yet, still there is no coverage from our press. It appears that 
demanding that the government respect the will of the people is no 
longer enough in American democracy. We must now also carry the 
burden of demanding that the media do its job and cover 
developments which are unfavorable to the national kleptocracy of 
which these giant media corporations have become a part.

That noise you hear? It's the sound of America's Founders spinning in 
their graves. And well they should, for this scenario is precisely the 
massive concentration of power they most feared. All branches of the 
government are now in the hands of the same party (meaning, 
effectively, there virtually are no branches any longer). The so-called 
opposition party facilitates Republican rule through the flattery of 
imitation, when it hasn't gone into hiding instead. The public is 
frightened and ill-informed. And now this. To this hall of shame list 
must be added a mainstream press which a week ago seemed only 
biased and intimidated, but now appears entirely complicit. We are 
now living precisely the nightmare of Washington, Jefferson, Madison 
and the rest. It must stop. We cannot have a prayer of an informed 
public curbing the worst excesses of American government if, in fact, 
that public is not informed. Sad as it is, if we ever hope to reclaim 
American democracy, it appears we must now fight for outrageous 
news to be aired, if we ever expect that news to outrage.

Notwithstanding our worst horrors and fears these last four years, 
American democracy is in deeper trouble than we knew. Now is the 
time for patriots to act.

We must begin by demanding coverage of this explosive evidence by 
the leading organs of American journalism. If the American people 
remain too jaded or frightened to demand the heads of those who 
deceived them so thoroughly, they're entitled to inherit the 
consequences of their own failures. However, they cannot make that 
choice until they know the facts.

Please therefore, for the sake of innocent Iraqis, for the sake of 
American soldiers, and for the sake of American democracy, do two 
things 'write now':

* First, send a message to the New York Times and the Washington 
Post, demanding that they cover this most significant of stories. Top 
brass at the New York Times can be emailed at the following 
addresses: Executive Editor Bill Keller at executive-
editor@nytimes.com, and Managing Editor Jill Abramson at managing-
editor@nytimes.com. For the Washington Post, try National Editor 
Michael Abramowitz at abramowitz@washpost.com, and Associate 
Editor Robert Kaiser at robertgkaiser@yahoo.com.

* Next, forward this article on to everybody you know, and ask them to 
write the Times and the Post as well, and then to forward this article in 
turn to everyone they know. With some luck, perhaps we can achieve 
a critical mass which can no longer be ignored by these papers, with 
the electronic media then to follow.

In any case, we are evidently going have to take this country back 
ourselves, without even the benefit of a competent media to report the 
news.

Fortunately, we possess the greatest weapon of all, the truth.

An Open Letter to Howard Dean
by Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich

http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0504-21.htm

Dear Chairman Dean,

Speaking before an ACLU crowd last week in Minnesota, the state of Paul
Wellstone, you were quoted as saying, "Now that we're there [in Iraq],
we're there and we can't get out.... I hope the President is incredibly
successful with his policy now." Did these words really come from the same
man who claimed to represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party,
and who had recently campaigned on the antiwar theme? What's changed?

Perhaps you now believe that an electoral victory for Democrats in 2006
and beyond requires sweeping this war under the rug. If so, you are only
the latest in a long line of recent Democratic leaders who chose a
strategy of letting "no light show" between Democrats and the President on
the war. Emphasize the economy, instead, they advised, in 2002 and again
in 2004.

Following this advice has kept us in the minority. During the 2002
election cycle, when Democrats felt they had historical precedent on their
side (the President's party always loses seats in the midterm election),
the Democratic leadership in Congress cut a deal with the President to
bring the war resolution to a vote, and appeared with him in a Rose Garden
ceremony. The "no light" strategy yielded a historic result: For the first
time since Franklin Roosevelt, a President increased his majorities in
both houses of Congress during a recession.

The President went into the 2004 election with tremendous vulnerability on
the war, which the Democratic Party again sacrificed: by avoiding the
issue of withdrawal from Iraq in the party platform, omitting it from
campaign speeches and deleting it from the national convention.

Why does failure surely follow from sweeping the war and occupation under
the rug? Because the war is one of the most potent political scandals of
all time, and it has energized grassroots activity like few others.

President Bush led the country into war based on false information,
falsified threats and a fictitious estimate of the consequences. His war
and the continuing occupation transformed Iraq into a training ground for
jihadists who want to hunt Americans, and a cause c?l?bre for stoking
resentment in the Muslim world. His war and occupation squandered the
abundant good will felt by the world for America after our losses of
September 11. He enriched his cronies at Halliburton and other private
interests through the occupation. And he diverted our attention and
abilities away from apprehending the masterminds of the September 11
attack; instead, we are mired in occupation. The President's war and
occupation in Iraq has already cost $125 billion, nearly 1,600 American
lives, more than 11,000 American casualties and the lives of tens of
thousands of Iraqis. The occupation has been more costly in this regard
than the war.

There is no end in sight for the occupation of Iraq. The President says we
will stay until we're finished. A recent report by the Congressional
Research Service concluded that the United States is probably building
permanent military bases in Iraq. The President refuses to consider an
exit strategy. The Republican Congress gives the President whatever he
asks for.

We can draw no clearer distinction with the President than over this war.
He cannot right a wrong (unjustified war) by perpetuating a military
occupation. Military victory there is not possible. General Tommy Franks
concedes that. The war will end when we say it's over. The Democratic
leadership should be pressing for quick withdrawal of all troops from
Iraq.

That's what most Democrats want, too. Your performance in the early
stages of the primary, and your recent chairmanship of the party, were
made possible by many, many progressive and liberal Democrats. It was
their hope and expectation that you would prevent the party from repeating
its past drift to the Republican-lite center. They hoped that this time
the party would not abandon them or its core beliefs again.

Yet you say that you hope the President succeeds. With no pressure
exerted from the leadership of the Democratic Party, the past threatens to
repeat itself in 2006. We may not leave Iraq or our minority status in
Washington for a long time to come.

Speaking of Bridgeport HAIR, rumor has it that Tioga Joe might show up at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre for the 5:30 performance on Sat., May 21.  I believe he needs a good HAIR fix after being on an extended walkabout.  I know he's looking forward to being in such fine company that evening.

Hi Michael,

Yeah, rumors from the WH (such as, say, about WMDs) don't necessarily have that good of a track record.  Fortunately, though, this current rumor (about TJ) comes from a more reliable source -- smoke signals.  You know, I just might have to join Tioga in this venture to HAIR at DCT in CT.

Message-ID: <02f901c55b1b$989b8220$5264a8c0@njdmava.state.nj.us>

To the members of the [Michael Butler] HAIR List:

I'm forwarding to you below an important observation about the reemergence
of The Draft, written by a former draftee, a member of the Vietnam Veterans
Against the War and of Veterans For Peace, and author of "...and a hard rain
fell: A GI's True Story of the War in Vietnam" (check www.sourcebooks.com),
John Ketwig.  -- FYI, a "Gold Star mother" is one who lost a son or daughter
in war while they were serving in the American Armed Forces (there were more
than 58,000 Gold Star Mothers left by the Vietnam War).  HAIR would not have
been, without the controversy over the Draft in the Vietnam Era.  So, who
says HAIR is not relevant today?

Tioga Joe is one of our Tribal Elders from the predecessor (now defunct)
Hair list.  You could look at those archives (from the Jabberwocky
listserve).  When he's here, Tioga has many interesting, insightful, often
funny, wise and passionate things to say.  Give him his propers...

We love him dearly, and miss him when he is not around, as he hasn't been 
lately. His vast knowledge of the Vietnam War, as well as many other 
subjects relating to Hair, has given us great insight and education over the 
years. His attendance in Bridgeport makes us all even happier than we have 
been about this upcoming reunion.

Not wanting to start up this age old argument again, but when I see this I 
feel compelled to say that, in my humble opinion, Hair is as relevant today 
as it ever was, without the updating you mention as needed to make it so. My 
experience has been that when a production attempts to update the show it is 
far less successful in getting it's message across, and it makes the rest of 
the show anachronistic in many ways.

The similarities between the late sixties and the current political 
situation are obvious enough that the audience does not need to have them 
spoon fed to them. There is no need to point them out. My daughter (now 13) 
has been seeing Hair since she was about 9, and has always understood, 
without being told, that Hair speaks to her life now. Hair's themes are 
universal, it's messages timeless.

The places stipulated by the authors to be updated were for during the 
original run, when the attempt was made to keep the show current - the 
Vietnam War was still going on when Hair closed on BRoadway, and Hair was 
meant to take place in the now. When the show was revived in 1977 many of 
the reviews mentioned that the attempts to update it to then as one of the 
difficulties in that production.

But to each their own!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Joe who dug up the REAL skinny on 3-5-0-0; it's 
a fascinating read at the old Jabberwocky archives. It'll be great to see 
him on May 21st at Bridgeport. I've not yet met him in person but have known 
him since the old Jabberwocky list.

I am afraid that the online archives of the old jabberwocky Hair list are 
gone, and have been for some time. A tremendous loss. I have written to 
David Shaw several times, hoping to get a copy of the files, as he had at 
one time suggested would be possible, but I have never gotten a response 
from him. Very sad.

Luckily Tiogas 3-5-0-0 post is online in the Archives web site at:

http://www.michaelbutler.com/hair/holding/articles/MiscellaneousArticles/3-5-0-0.html

I captured a few more of Tioga's posts before it all disappeared, but when I 
think of the wealth of information and experience lost when David took the 
archived posts down I could just cry.

His Jabberwocky site is still up, as are his other mailings list I believe, 
so I am fairly sure his jabberwocky email address is still good. I can only 
assume that his failure to respond is an indication that he does not want to 
make copies of the files, although at one time he expressed a willingness to 
do so. Perhaps if someone else tries?

Nina:

It is possible to access bits of the old Jabberwocky List in a roundabout way.

Try the following:

1. Google "MB-Hair jabberwocky" (without the ".." marks). You should get
    three or so results.

2. Click on text at bottom of new page where it says "repeat the search
    with the omitted results included.". You will get a random selection
    of six pages old mails - not the same ones each time I found.

3. Select a mail and click at the end of the entry where it says "cached"


It's a slow way of doing it but anyone with sufficient interest, time 
and energy could recover many of the posts and order them by date. 
Other similar strategies may recover more (e.g. including in initial 
Google search other keywords such as 'August', 'Butler', 'Vol 13', 
'Nina', etc.).

Seems Google keeps cached versions more or less indefinitely !!

Hope this helps


Martin

I should have stated in the last e-mail... it was not hard to find the 3500 piece by Tioga, all I did was put his name in as Tioga Joe......   :-))     Of course there are other postings there but this is the one everyone seemed to be interested in.

who is tioga im ignorant?

================

You know, sitting around the campfire with old Joe, old Tioga Joe, I've often heard him mumble that same question -- "Who is Tioga?"  

He'd take a long draw on his tomahawk peace pipe, he'd lean back on one elbow, lift his chin and slowly blow several smoke rings (yeah, like that Army sergeant and Beverly D'Angelo's Sheila Franklin did in the HAIR movie).  And I'd hear him say, seemingly only to himself, "Who is Tioga?  Who is Tioga?"

So, you're in good compay with that question... eh?

He's gone by many names and many variations of nickname Tioga Joe (kinda like how Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh had gone by many names, including Nguyen Ai Quoc, or Nguyen the Patriot).  When he posted to the old Jabberwock-hosted HAIR List, his name was listed as Joseph L. Tioga.  But his full name can be much longer and more complicated.  

Here's an example:  Chief Lee Joseph de Tioga Livingstone Smith.  Names also include references to his native state of Louisiana (he graduated from Tioga High School), such as to its Washitaw Nation and that nation's The Empress Verdiacee Tiara Washitaw-Turner Golston El-Bey of the indigenous Empire Washitaw de Dugdahmoundyah (http://khandi.kickinthedoorprod.com/washitaw.htm and http://www.republic-of-texas.net/archive1996/rt-pr-110496.shtml) (BTW, the Empress is known to see into the future after placing cannabis leaves over her eyes).  His ethnic (genetic) Native American tribal connection is to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw.  

The Choctaw Nation has a great Great Seal.  On it you see a tomahawk peace pipe.  Smoke is rising from the bowl, so it is being used in its peace mode, the pipe of peace, rather than in its war mode, as a weapon of war, the war axe or war hawk.  Next to this is a bow for shooting arrows (which likewise may be used in war).  But if you look closely, you will notice the bow is unstrung, again symbolizing the option to be at peace.  While the Choctaw Nation headquarters today is in Oklahoma (a.k.a. "Indian Territory" on old USA maps), when so many Native Americans were forced to move to Oklahoma, because the Choctaws lived so at peace among their white neighbors, the State of Mississippi gave them the option to stay in Mississippi.  Those that did (and whose descendants live there today) are known as the Mississippi Band of Choctaw.  Joe's great-great grandmother was of this Band.

Joe joined the HAIR Tribe on stage in 1974 with what he calls the Ouachita (pronounced "Washitaw") Tribe (Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe, Ouachita Parish, Louisiana).  He was awarded Best Supporting Actor for his role.  He had the longest hair (REAL hair) of any guy and most of the women in the cast.  He took personal interest in the character of Claude Hooper Bukowski.  He related to him so well.  It seems, that on the first day of his Senior year of high school, he was kicked out of school for having long hair.  He and his best buddy (who was like Berger to his Claude) had fun the rest of the day out of school, but resigned to get a hair cut, so they could go back to school the next day.  But that was the last hair cut the two ever got.  Next time they got threatened with being expelled, they went out and bought short-hair wigs.  They were kinda funky looking, because they were women's wigs and they were cheap.  They looked weird in school, but once the last school bell rang at the end of the day, they could pull off their wigs and shake their heads and LET THEIR FREAK FLAGS FLY!

Lucky for him, though, the Paris Peace Treaty ended the War in Vietnam (technically) in 1973 (when he turned 18 that summer) and THE DRAFT was also ended.  WHEW!  He was able to take advantage of his youth to avoid the Draft.  Damn good thing, too, because the draft lottery was still drawn the next January for all those boys who turned 18 the year before (1973), and his was a low number.  He would have gone.

Anyway, even Joe would be telling me to hurry up and shut up, so, that's all I can tell you for now for whothehell is Tioga?

Peace (and all that jazz),

Smitty

Sharmagne told me Tioga means running water........

Can't wait to meet you all........

Sherwin

==================================

Close enough for government inspection.  But more precisely, in Algonquin, it means "land between two waters."  The town of Tioga, Louisiana is between the Red River and the Little River (land between two waters).  You'll find the name "Tioga" in Williamsburg, Virginian (home of Colonial Williamsburg).  Williamsburg's Tioga is between the James River and the Chickahominy River.  Joe also see's America as Tioga -- land between the two waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific.  Joe also likes to imagine that HE's a tioga -- bridging the gap between streams of understanding -- such as between the Hawks and Doves of the Vietnam Era (like when he reminds HAIR heads they would be doing a disservice to HAIR's Claude Hooper Bukowski, if they denigrated GI's and veterans for their military service.  If the HAIR story were non-fiction, Claude's name would appear among the more than 58,000 on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC.  Joe says Claude would see those others so named as his brothers and sisters.  Joe thinks that's why Claude went to Vietnam.  How else could he get his point across to his hippie brothers and sisters that the American GIs and veterans were not their enemy?  He became a GI himself, a veteran, a name on a wall, KIA in RVN, Killed In Action in the Republic of Vietnam).  But that's only Joe's two cents worth.  Who's he to say what's what (he always says to me)?  He's just a regular Joe.

peace,

Joseph L. Tioga

Thanks, Doris.

Unfortunately, I think we can no longer access the Jabberwocky HAIR files, but I believe Nina is striving to gain access to them, to bring those archives into this List's.  Oh, and don't bother with giving me respect.  Man, I can be a jerk like anybody else.  I haven't yet achieved that Gandhi level of Boddhisattva-ness : )  But thanks for the friendship.

Tioga Joe is one of our Tribal Elders from the predecessor (now defunct)
Hair list.  You could look at those archives (from the Jabberwocky
listserve).  When he's here, Tioga has many interesting, insightful, often
funny, wise and passionate things to say.  Give him his propers...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Joe who dug up the REAL skinny on 3-5-0-0; it's 
a fascinating read at the old Jabberwocky archives. It'll be great to see 
him on May 21st at Bridgeport. I've not yet met him in person but have known 
him since the old Jabberwocky list.

PEACE,

I am afraid that the online archives of the old jabberwocky Hair list are 
gone, and have been for some time. A tremendous loss. I have written to 
David Shaw several times, hoping to get a copy of the files, as he had at 
one time suggested would be possible, but I have never gotten a response 
from him. Very sad.

Luckily Tiogas 3-5-0-0 post is online in the Archives web site at:

http://www.michaelbutler.com/hair/holding/articles/MiscellaneousArticles/3-5-0-0.html

I captured a few more of Tioga's posts before it all disappeared, but when I 
think of the wealth of information and experience lost when David took the 
archived posts down I could just cry.

Thanks to Martin's post I remembered a neat little trick I used to use, and 
it allowed me to find over 1700 cached posts to the old jabberwocky list in, 
as Martin said, Google's cache. Go to google and search on: 
"site:archive.jabberwocky.com" but without the quotation marks (and don't 
use "MB-Hair", as that list wasn't called that). When the results turn up 
instead of clicking on the title as you usually would in google, click, as 
Martin suggests, on "cached" under each result.

You can modify this by adding a word before typing in 
site:archive.jabberwocky.com, so it would read, for instance "Tioga 
site:archive.jabberwocky.com" which returned 167 results.

It is not as convenient as having the archived posts arranged in 
chronological order, but it is far better than nothing! Thanks Martin for 
your suggestions.

Nina

Richard, friend, it's a pitfall in cyberspace that the ability to convey nuance, facial expression, tone of voice, etc, is lacking, and occasionally things meant one way can be taken in a way that was unintended.  When I exhorted you (or anyone, really, even though it was you who raised the question, who was Tioga Joe? as there are others on the list who don't know him yet, so it was actually directed to the collective as well as the individual) to "give him his propers," I wasn't implying that you were being disrespectful, rather, I was just talking up Tioga and trying to give a shorthand measure of my perception of where he sits in this circle.  That being said, you felt a sting, whether or not I intended to inflict one (which, for the record, I did not) and for that I offer an apology.  We're all friends here, though I must say I'm thrilled to be classified now as one of "the paranoid contingent"  (I'm saying that with a smile- I don't know how to do those little symbols that are supposed to provide cyber-nuance).  So, peace, brother...

-Doris

P.S. - I hope you all have a fabulous time at Bridgeport; I look forward to eloquent reportings back about the show and each other.   Me, I'm off to southern Oregon for a ceremonial ritual of a different but definitely consistent sort.

Hi Guys

Just came back from Boston area, had a wonderful time, perfomed at  Marina Bay & the hotel Marlow in Cambridge.  I close my show with a shortened version of "The Flesh Failures" that I recently recorded along with numerous other things (which I have attached} . I tend to believe the lryics to this song make more sense now then ever. I tried to capture a tribal feel throughout the track, thought you might a kick out of it. I do not have Galt's e- mail I wold love to send it to him also. Lets rock & roll one more time before we die. :)

Love forever 
Robin

We're all friends here, though I must say I'm thrilled to be classified now as one of "the paranoid contingent"  (I'm saying that with a smile- I don't know how to do those little symbols that are supposed to provide cyber-nuance).  So, peace, brother...

  -Doris

  P.S. - I hope you all have a fabulous time at Bridgeport; I look forward to eloquent reportings back about the show and each other.   Me, I'm off to southern Oregon for a ceremonial ritual of a different but definitely consistent sort.

      Thank you, dear Michael.  It is an honor for you to say that about me, for I do truly feel honored to feel I am indeed part of, one of this company, this Tribe.

Hi Guys
 
Just came back from Boston area, had a wonderful time, perfomed at  Marina
Bay & the hotel Marlow in Cambridge.  I close my show with a shortened
version of "The Flesh Failures" that I recently recorded along with numerous
other things (which I have attached} . I tend to believe the lryics to this
song make more sense now then ever. I tried to capture a tribal feel
throughout the track, thought you might a kick out of it. I do not have
Galt's e- mail I wold love to send it to him also. Lets rock & roll one more
time before we die. :)
 
Love forever 
Robin

Hello, Gia!

Great to hear your comments that the people of London are having a Groovy Retro-Revolution! I occasionally watch runway shows on "The Style Network" and I haven't yet seen much 60's fashion although I have enjoyed several designers who are not afraid to make peace statements in their collections.

Looking forward to your posting fashion shot posts of this new trend.



Blessed be with peace, love, freedom, and joy!

John

Hello to everyone !
Finally a entire day and Night off. I suppose you are
getting ready for your Bridgeport production. I send
much luck to all and Wish I could be there as well.
London is Mad! People here are moving in the direction
of a Loving place I sense.
Fashion here right now is wild . I just did a shoot
the other day and most of the Garments we showed were
right out of the 60's. I loved it . I will send photos
as soon as I get them .

Warm Wishes from the UK

Subject: WATER, AND HOW IT AFFECTS AGING

How many times have your heard "drink eight to ten
glasses of water 
everyday?" How often do we actually drink that much
pure water? Would you believe that as you are reading
this page you are dehydrating?

We were all born as grapes, but now we are turning
into raisins. Your 
body 
was once more than 70% water and now, if you're like
most Americans 
past the age of 40, you are lucky to have a hydration
level above 60%. The bodies of most hospitalized
elderly are less than 50% water.

Today, Americans consume more coffee and soft drinks
than water. These beverages, along with tea and
alcohol, are diuretics and dehydrate the body.

All the moisturizer in the world will not restore a
youthful 
appearance. By dehydrating your body you are actually
pulling a hundred times as much water out of your skin
through the urinary tract. Much worse than the skin
dehydrating, is the dehydration of the internal
organs, connective tissue and the brain.

Inadequate fluid intake and excess water loss can
disrupt critical cell function. Most people experience
this level of hydration all day, nearly everyday.
Water is essential for all anabolic repair functions,
and conversely, dehydration accelerates the aging
process.

A study at Fred Hutchinson Research Center in Seattle
found that women who drank two glasses of water a day
had nearly twice the risk of colon cancer than women
who drank four glasses a day. The few women who did
drink eight or more glasses of water a day had less
than half the risk of those who drank only four
glasses. The association of increased water intake may
also reduce the risk for other types of cancer. In one
study, the women who drank the most water were 80%
less likely to develop bladder cancer than women who
drank the least.

Other conditions that often respond to increased water
intake include 
the reduction of headaches, muscle aches, hangovers,
fatigue, constipation, and heartburn. Drinking enough
water will also reduce fluid retention and edema.

Sometimes it is difficult for people to understand
that drinking lots 
of water actually decreases water retention. If you
provide your body with ample amounts of pure water, it
will not have to retain water in the tissues

The body can become significantly dehydrated before we
actually feel 
thirsty.

In the morning, you have a true need for water, but
you may not feel 
it. For most people, the first liquid they consume is
coffee, a beverage that sucks the water out of our
cells. Try this test: Before you eat or drink anything
in the morning, sip about four ounces of water-no
more. You will be surprised to see that in two to
three minutes your mouth will feel parched.

Drink another four ounces and in two to three minutes
you will be 
thirsty again. You may have to repeat this six or more
times before you are no longer thirsty. Add up all the
four-ounce servings that you consumed, and you will
discover your body's true metabolic need for water.

Hi Robin,

I am so sorry to have taken so long to read the list today, but it seems 
that you got it straightened out without me! :-)

What Ace did was what is best to do with a file that big - put it online and 
send us the url so we can go listen to it.

I can't wait to hear it! And next time you are playing in the Boston area, 
please let me know!!!

Love,
Nina

I'm with you all the way Joe! When I'm directing HAIR the tribe knows they 
"got it" if I start weeping uncontrollably during 3-5-0-0. Lost a lot of 
friends and a lotta them came back extremely screwed up! I chose the Canada 
route (as some of you) but that's another story for another day.
We'll be leaving our berg here in Maine in about an hour; we'll be spending 
Friday night about 8 minutes outside Bridgeport. I'll see you all there!

PEACE,
Leo

Hi Michael
 Thank you! I never drink enough water, must mend my ways. 
Years ago, I trained myself to need little water when travelling, because 
a) you didn't always find pure water 
and b) you never found toilets!!
which can be a REAL problem for a girl. You guys have it a lot easier

 SMILE

I have a question: I just recently heard a report about marathon runners
and other 
athletes actually putting ON weight during their exercise/run, because they
drank 
TOO MUCH water during their 'ordeal'. Something to do with electrolytes??
Body 
retaining the water??

Unfortunately I don't recall it and wonder if you have heard or know
something about 
this.

have a wonderful weekend! 

We're going to have record heat in Tucson: 109F predicted on Sunday.
Pretty wild. Today we're supposedly at 100F (38C!)
But the house is cool. 
I gave all my plants extra water this morning and filled the dishes for my
wild critters.
They do need water too. 
Did I ever send you the picture of a black snake drinking from our pool?
Cool!
I'll have to look for it.
 Today: a pair of cactusblossoms! T'is the season!

Love and hugs 

Dagmar

Subject: WATER, AND HOW IT AFFECTS AGING

How many times have your heard "drink eight to ten
glasses of water 
everyday?" How often do we actually drink that much
pure water? Would you believe that as you are reading
this page you are dehydrating?

We were all born as grapes, but now we are turning
into raisins. Your 
body 
was once more than 70% water and now, if you're like
most Americans 
past the age of 40, you are lucky to have a hydration
level above 60%. The bodies of most hospitalized
elderly are less than 50% water.

Today, Americans consume more coffee and soft drinks
than water. These beverages, along with tea and
alcohol, are diuretics and dehydrate the body.

All the moisturizer in the world will not restore a
youthful 
appearance. By dehydrating your body you are actually
pulling a hundred times as much water out of your skin
through the urinary tract. Much worse than the skin
dehydrating, is the dehydration of the internal
organs, connective tissue and the brain.

Inadequate fluid intake and excess water loss can
disrupt critical cell function. Most people experience
this level of hydration all day, nearly everyday.
Water is essential for all anabolic repair functions,
and conversely, dehydration accelerates the aging
process.

A study at Fred Hutchinson Research Center in Seattle
found that women who drank two glasses of water a day
had nearly twice the risk of colon cancer than women
who drank four glasses a day. The few women who did
drink eight or more glasses of water a day had less
than half the risk of those who drank only four
glasses. The association of increased water intake may
also reduce the risk for other types of cancer. In one
study, the women who drank the most water were 80%
less likely to develop bladder cancer than women who
drank the least.

Other conditions that often respond to increased water
intake include 
the reduction of headaches, muscle aches, hangovers,
fatigue, constipation, and heartburn. Drinking enough
water will also reduce fluid retention and edema.

Sometimes it is difficult for people to understand
that drinking lots 
of water actually decreases water retention. If you
provide your body with ample amounts of pure water, it
will not have to retain water in the tissues

The body can become significantly dehydrated before we
actually feel 
thirsty.

In the morning, you have a true need for water, but
you may not feel 
it. For most people, the first liquid they consume is
coffee, a beverage that sucks the water out of our
cells. Try this test: Before you eat or drink anything
in the morning, sip about four ounces of water-no
more. You will be surprised to see that in two to
three minutes your mouth will feel parched.

Drink another four ounces and in two to three minutes
you will be 
thirsty again. You may have to repeat this six or more
times before you are no longer thirsty. Add up all the
four-ounce servings that you consumed, and you will
discover your body's true metabolic need for water.

Dagmar,
I have had the same problem. I have however mended my ways. I drink much
more water than I used to. Practically no sodas nor alcohol except an
occasional tequila (or mescal when I can find it) always neat or in a
marguerita sans any other alcohol-very important!
I don't think the report about marathon runners is true. I am not one. I am
sure someone on the list will respond. Carey King, bless his soul was. We
sure miss him.
NYC is 20 degrees colder than normal and they threaten rain from the North
tonight so we head into a storm as we go to Bridgeport.
Do take care and drink your water.
Peace and Love,
Michael

Hey Guys

You know when it comes to water I drink approx. 1 gallon a day ,the reason I 
know this is because & buy it by the gallon & sometimes I have just a touch 
left or I finish it & have to take some from the next gallon. But I also 
love my beer, I do not drink everyday,  but every couple of weeks or so I go 
out & dance & hootenanny. It is a myth that anyone would gain weight in a 26 
mile marathon. I smoke pot everyday 5 hits four times a day is my dose. 
(approx. two joints.) I really don't consider myself on a heath kick becaue 
we can all get hit by a truck. :)

Love forever
Robin

Dear Dagmar, How could we not? I look forwad to the day we can see a 
production together. In the mean time we will feel you sitting next to us in 
the dark and singing along. :-) (PS - got the package. Thanks!)

Our thoughts are with you, Charles. Take care.

Love,

Message-ID: <BAY104-F21511BBF1AE9235F74764CB20B0@phx.gbl>

What an amazing night last night was! How incredible to see good friends, 
and to meet others who have been friends for years but never seen in 
person before! To get to hug Sib, Sally, Leo, Sherwin, Barbara, and Ross in 
person, and to put faces to the writing and in some cases voices on the 
phone, were all truly wonderful moments. To see, in addition, so many good 
friends at the same time  Michael B, Robert, Debbie, Mike, Bill, Natalie, 
Dale, Michael A, Jeff, Meredith  What a joy! There were many photographs 
taken (a copy of every one to the Archives please folks! I cant wait to see 
them!) so there will be some to share soon.  I also got several generous 
donations to the Archives, including photographs from the April 23 LaMama 
event. I will post a few to the list as soon as I can scan them.

The show was good, but it paled in comparison to the reunion. There was so 
much love in the room! After the show we walked a block to a local pub whos 
owners and lone waitress looked overwhelmed as all 27 of us walked in, 
however they rose to the occasion, put many tables end to end and made us 
one large table to gather around, catch up, and enjoy each others company.

There was a drama teacher at the show last night who teaches at Laguardia 
High School for the Performing Arts in NYC. He is directing Hair there next 
December and had seen the listing for Bridgeport Hair and gotten tickets for 
himself and his wife. He recognized Michael B and introduced himself before 
the show, and found himself stumbling into the midst of what he described as 
the most amazing resource for research and support for his production that 
he could possibly imagine. He and his wife were lovely people, and they 
joined us for the party after the show. He shared with me that he was amazed 
at how welcoming we all were, how willing to help support his production, to 
share thoughts and ideas, to include them in our evening. I explained to him 
that that was what Hair was all about. That he was just starting a journey 
that we all had been through; that now he was part of the Tribe. He is 
planning on joining the list in the near future, and looks forward to 
hearing everyones thoughts and ideas regarding Hair in a high school 
setting (albeit one with closer to professional level talent pool than most 
other high schools). I am looking forward to seeing Hair done with actors 
closer to the true ages of the characters, and with such a committed 
director. It was the most perfect start to a production of Hair that I can 
imagine!

I find myself at an unusual loss for words at trying to describe what a 
special evening it was. Speak up others who were there  perhaps someone can 
write a more eloquent report on the evening than I am managing.

Ill close with one of my favorite lines of the evening. Looking very 
pleased with her life a certain 13 year old said My mother takes me to 
productions of Hair the way other mothers take their kids to Disney 
movies. I feel very lucky, as does she, that life affords me this wonderful 
Tribe for her to grow up around. I can imagine no better influences than 
those around her last night.

Save September 10th, 2005! Well do it all again, on a larger scale at 
LaMama. Details coming as we know them

Love, love, love,
Nina

Wow Nina

Sounds like everyone had a great time I spoke to Michael, Natalie & Debbie 
yesterday while they were on route to the show, it was great to hear there 
voices. Michael mentioned Sept. 10th to me during our conversation, is this 
date etched in stone? The reason I ask is because my high school reunion is 
the same day in Boston but I would much more prefer to go to the Hair 
reunion if it is finally going to happen :), please let me know thanks so 
much.

Love forever
Robin

Message-ID: <4290DC92.30909@earthlink.net>

Very cool Nina.  Thanks for your wonderful glowing account of what 
sounds like an incredible evening.  I will be great to hear about it 
from some of the others who were there, and to see the photos.

Sorry I could not be there but I had already used up my vacation days, 
and saw the Bridgeport show several weeks before y'all.  I was able to 
have a mini-reunion with Julie Arenal during my stay.  We met at Veselka 
Restaurant on 9th Street and 2nd Ave, my old block, next to the Ukranian 
National Home where the B'ay company rehearsed.  It was the first time 
we had seen each other since 1968.  You can imagine we had a lot of 
catching up to do.

The April 23 Michael Butler/HAIR event at La MaMa left a very strong 
afterglow that The Harris Family was able to step into the following 
weekend.  It was a hard act to follow, but we managed!  Please keep me 
posted on a HAIR reunioin at La MaMa.  September 3 or 17 work better for 
me than the 10th, but I might be able to manage on the 10th.  Whoever is 
planning the reunion should negotiate to use either La MaMa's First 
Floor Theater or Annex spaces, as The Club will not be big enough to 
contain it (I'm guessing).

Peace, and thanks again -

WMH

Nina said it all. A great evening. The show was good. One of the better
versions of HAIR in my thousands. I particularly loved their Jeannie even
though the baby must have had a tough time.
Everyone at the theatre, particularly Donna could not have been nicer.
Of course the high point was the Irish pub we invaded after the show.
A Hairite invasion. A lot laughs some good talk and just great to be
together.
As we all know there is something special when we get together.
Now we can get ready for the next party.
Peace and Love,
Michael

What an amazing night last night was! How incredible to see good friends, 
and to "meet" others who have been friends for years but never seen in 
person before! To get to hug Sib, Sally, Leo, Sherwin, Barbara, and Ross in 
person, and to put faces to the writing and in some cases voices on the 
phone, were all truly wonderful moments. To see, in addition, so many good 
friends at the same time - Michael B, Robert, Debbie, Mike, Bill, Natalie, 
Dale, Michael A, Jeff, Meredith - What a joy! There were many photographs 
taken (a copy of every one to the Archives please folks! I can't wait to see

them!) so there will be some to share soon.  I also got several generous 
donations to the Archives, including photographs from the April 23 LaMama 
event. I will post a few to the list as soon as I can scan them.

The show was good, but it paled in comparison to the reunion. There was so 
much love in the room! After the show we walked a block to a local pub who's

owners and lone waitress looked overwhelmed as all 27 of us walked in, 
however they rose to the occasion, put many tables end to end and made us 
one large table to gather around, catch up, and enjoy each others company.

There was a drama teacher at the show last night who teaches at Laguardia 
High School for the Performing Arts in NYC. He is directing Hair there next 
December and had seen the listing for Bridgeport Hair and gotten tickets for

himself and his wife. He recognized Michael B and introduced himself before 
the show, and found himself stumbling into the midst of what he described as

the most amazing resource for research and support for his production that 
he could possibly imagine. He and his wife were lovely people, and they 
joined us for the party after the show. He shared with me that he was amazed

at how welcoming we all were, how willing to help support his production, to

share thoughts and ideas, to include them in our evening. I explained to him

that that was what Hair was all about. That he was just starting a journey 
that we all had been through; that now he was part of the Tribe. He is 
planning on joining the list in the near future, and looks forward to 
hearing everyone's thoughts and ideas regarding Hair in a high school 
setting (albeit one with closer to professional level talent pool than most 
other high schools). I am looking forward to seeing Hair done with actors 
closer to the true ages of the characters, and with such a committed 
director. It was the most perfect start to a production of Hair that I can 
imagine!

I find myself at an unusual loss for words at trying to describe what a 
special evening it was. Speak up others who were there - perhaps someone can

write a more eloquent report on the evening than I am managing.

I'll close with one of my favorite lines of the evening. Looking very 
pleased with her life a certain 13 year old said "My mother takes me to 
productions of Hair the way other mother's take their kids to Disney 
movies." I feel very lucky, as does she, that life affords me this wonderful

Tribe for her to grow up around. I can imagine no better influences than 
those around her last night.

Save September 10th, 2005! We'll do it all again, on a larger scale at 
LaMama. Details coming as we know them.

Love, love, love,
Nina

We were very (HAiR) fortunate with the pub we found, it supposedly was the only one within walking distance.  It was a slow night for them... but how fortunate that we found such a place with a spare back room with plenty of tables and space for all of us to sit and chat privately....It could not have been better, it was as if we had our own private room made to order. I am sure  IF  they had been busy (having been a waitress at one time) it could have been a hassle for them... but it was not busy before we came and so they were happy to see us.

Michael Butler in his beautiful red satin jacket and jeans with an American Flag sewn vertically on one leg looked magnificent and someone had the great idea to sit him in the middle of the table so we could share him. I got to meet Debbie Andrews, Natalie Mosco, Dale Soules, Ross McLean (that is his last name Michael), Sherwin (aka Ace), Sib Smith (aka Tioga Joe), Leo and Judy, Nina, Trevor and their absolutely beautiful special daughter (she is so special it is hard to find the right words), My very best friend Sally Shafer who I had not seen in ??? years, I can only guess at 20. For the second time I met Bill Swiggard, and he and Tioga Joe had quite a chat about Bills Doctor work and Sibs Vietnam NJ War Assoc. work (I forget the proper title Sib, sorry), then Michael B. joined in with Bill and Sib and off they went into deep conversation which from their faces, was plain to see they were totally immersed and enjoying themselves.

That was one of the great things about this event, everyone more or less has gone their separate ways over the years, yet came together last night as if we were never apart.... Much L-O-V-E was in the room and plenty of hugs and kisses.

I am sure I forgot some things but someone else will be able to chip in with more news.   :-))>

Nina,

Yes it was a magic evening wasnt it?   Look at the moon, look at the moon, look at the moon!  
It was great seeing a major production of HAiR and even better (if possible) to hang out with everyone after.  
Seeing old friends, matching faces to names, yes!  Didnt get to meet everyone in person  (Barbara! We didnt say hi -- I'm  sorry!!)
Very much looking forward to seeing everyone again at LaMama in Sept if not before then!
(An archive visit is in order soon! )

love Jeff

Yes, it was an amazing, groovy, righteous evening and it is difficult to put 
into words Nina.
I remember years ago when I was mounting my first HAIR production how 
overwhelmed I was at the generosity & sharing & welcoming & support I 
received from every single HAIR alum I contacted. I was blown away! I will 
now go on record as saying that that same vibe & love was flowing out of 
everyone in attendance at the pub soiree. I was made to feel like one of the 
tribe! I went down to the production having met a few of you but most of you 
were known to me by postings on the 2 incarnations of the HAIR list. Now, 
after meeting so many HAIR freaks in Bridgeport, I feel totally connected 
(for lack of better verbalization). I talked with people as if they had been 
friends all my life. EVERYONE was freaking fantastic in making Judy & I feel 
right at home. This HAIR family IS where it's at baby!!
So thanks to all of you. From rapping with Bill about his take on Claude, to 
shooting it with Tioga about Viet Nam, to hugging Nina and laying her onto a 
few goodies and every single connection and conversation and hug and "hello" 
in between, it was a righteous evening man!! Meeting you all was a blast and 
I mean that with all my HAIRy heart & soul.
One last little sidebar before I clam up. There was this guy (Tom Newkirk) 
who was a great supporter of my 1999 & 2003 production of HAIR. He and his 
wife Laura were headed to UCONN for a graduation scene on Sunday morning; I 
found this out right before leaving Maine on Friday. I told him of our plans 
to have a little get together before the show, starting at about 4pm. Well, 
sure as the wind blows, Tom & Laura swung in around 4:15 and shot the breeze 
with me for about 15 minutes before heading on to UCONN. And THAT is what 
the HAIR family is all about!
Debbie, I timed the trip home to Maine and it was 3 1/2 hours exactly! And 
if Natalie or any of you are back up here performing in Maine please let me 
know!
I'll chill now. Thanks for the wonderful evening!

PEACE,
Leo

only one within walking distance.  It was a slow night for them... but how
fortunate that we found such a place with a spare back room with plenty of
tables and space for all of us to sit and chat privately....It could not
have been better, it was as if we had our own private room made to order. I
am sure  IF  they had been busy (having been a waitress at one time) it
could have been a hassle for them... but it was not busy before we came and
so they were happy to see us.

Michael Butler in his beautiful red satin jacket and jeans with an American
Flag sewn vertically on one leg looked magnificent and someone had the great
idea to sit him in the middle of the table so we could share him. I got to
meet Debbie Andrews, Natalie Mosco, Dale Soules, Ross McLean (that is his
last name Michael), Sherwin (aka Ace), Sib Smith (aka Tioga Joe), Leo and
Judy, Nina, Trevor and their absolutely beautiful special daughter (she is
so special it is hard to find the right words), My very best friend Sally
Shafer who I had not seen in ??? years, I can only guess at 20. For the
second time I met Bill Swiggard, and he and Tioga Joe had quite a chat about
Bills Doctor work and Sibs Vietnam NJ War Assoc. work (I forget the proper
title Sib, sorry), then Michael B. joined in with Bill and Sib and off they
went into deep conversation which from their faces, was plain to see they
were totally immersed and enjoying themselves.

That was one of the great things about this event, everyone more or less has
gone their separate ways over the years, yet came together last night as if
we were never apart.... Much L-O-V-E was in the room and plenty of hugs and
kisses.

I am sure I forgot some things but someone else will be able to chip in with
more news.   :-))>

peace,
barbara

Must add my voice to what Nina, Leo, Michael, Barbara, Ace and Jeff have 
written today:  the truly astounding  thing about last night  was how 
well all of us on the HAIR lists have gotten to know each other's 
thoughts, strengths, special interests, personalities and talents from 
the many letters we have written each other - BEFORE WE EVER MET in a 
tangible way. 

I have never been so instantly close and able to launch into a 
high-speed conversation with people I have met for the first time.  But 
that's HAIR, and the HAIR family.....I feel soooooooo lucky and thankful 
that I wound up at a table with Tioga Joe, Leo and Michael! The talk was 
just brilliant.  Everything from about a dozen symbols woven into Hair, 
to the may ways we have done the show, and seen it done, and thought 
about the back story for Claude,  to the many connections the show has 
to the real Vietnam War.  Not to mention HAIR's contributions to the 
history of theater and music.  WOW!!!!

I guess what I am saying is that the show was terrific, BUT - while the 
Bridgeport tribe had the best production values and choreography and 
super Tribal spirit and Great choral singing of any post-professional 
show I have ever seen, and while it was TRULY fabulous to have all of us 
in a cluster watching Our Favorite Show like we were a big clan 
attending sevices at the Temple of Rock...beyond all that... what really 
ROCKED was the company and the hugging and the discovery of each other 
and above all the many great conversations that erupted like geysers all 
over the place.

Leo said it best: "I'm just glad we FINALLY had a reunion for the EAST 
coast!". Hear, hear!

After the big group photos (which I cannot wait to see), Michael Arian 
made the evening's stunning final announcement - the official HAIR 
reunion at LaMama on Sept. 10, 2005. 

I cannot wait for that - and I just know it will be another thrilling 
and for another evening like last night!!!

Love to all - including all of you who sent good wishes and came in spirit -
Bill

Hi folks:

Signing back on after making live contact with so many
wonderful people on Saturday.  Won't go on at length
about the event at the moment, maybe it's been
well-covered; just want to wave and say I'm here:

Nina,
 
You are such a sweetie. I can't begin to tell you how much I wanted to be there. I hope I can work it it out to be there in September, but it doesn't look good at this time. My son is planning to get married sometime in September, but things could change as nothing definite has been set.

Hello Tribe!

Everyone has said it - my two cents - we had HAiR fun of big 
magnitude ! Great to meet you  all - Sherwin,Leo & family, Sally, 
Barbara, Jeff , Tioga , Ross, Meredith with our NYC tribe -  seeing 
the show was great , I think HAiR must be something like following 
the Grateful Dead was,  like  an excuse to see each other & dance !!

Look forward to September reunion - Love to all .

Singing our space songs on a spider web,

Cool to see those pictures! Any data to go with 'em, by any chance? I recognize
you, Michael B. and Tioga Joe, but who else is there??

And of course I had to smack myself in the head...my wife and I checked out the
NJ Vietnam Veterans Memorial - good God, what a site...very moving and
extremely educational; seriously, I could spend days on end there just reading
and learning...if you're within, oh, about twenty thousand miles of Holmdel,
NJ, it's a must-visit site...

Cool arrangement, too...366 panels with the names of NJ folks who died in
Vietnam, one for each day of the year. Nine panels have no names on them; and
one of those blank panels made me wish I had been born a day earlier, as nobody
(from NJ) died on October 2. And they have an exhibit of letters home from those
who were in the midst of fighting. Some of them didn't make it back...very
sad...it's like manic depression -- you'll see a letter from someone who may
have been killed a week after writing the letter, but right next to it you
might see a letter from someone who did make it home safely...

And of course when Lisa asked "Hey, is Tioga Joe working today?" they said
naaah, he was in last weekend. I totally forgot he was in Bridgeport!

Mike Emmerman  baseball cap, dark beard and mustache, dark sweatshirt.

Jeff -  I cannot remember the name of your friend in the dark jacket with 
the blue/black shirt, nor do I know MMeredith and Erics last name. Im 
sorry!

Hope this helps. If you need further info on who these folks are (especially 
those who aren't list members, as their Hair connection may not be known to 
you all) let me know.

It was a truly special night, and your photos capture a lot of the love and 
happiness that filled the air there. Thanks so much Sherwin, and all the 
others who took photos that we haven't seen yet, for recording it for us.

Love,
Nina

Message-ID: <p06110405beb931f47a4a@[162.83.192.196]>

This is an open letter to the tribe, with a few personalized notes at 
the end.  I am a new member, and just had a chance to look at 
Sherwin's photo page from the other night.  I am so choked up, I 
can't even explain how I feel from this experience, but I 'm sure 
you've all probably heard it before from other "fans".  As grown up 
as I want to appear, I've got to gush as my inner child, the child 
who first saw HAIR at 12 years old at The Wilbur Theatre in Boston in 
1970.  Hi everyone, I'm Meredith, the beaming smiling blonde girl in 
the hot pink shirt in the Bridgeport reunion photos.  To see myself 
included in these pictures, to feel welcome and made part of a 
beautiful family, to see my name in others' emails - these things I 
never expected in my life!  To attend my first big HAIR event 
(besides the smaller La Mama gatherings recently) and to be made to 
feel already part of the gang - I'm speechless, just blown away. 
It's such a thrill and I'm so honored.  I also just read all the 
emails from May, (I'll have to get through all the past months emails 
when I have another free week) and am so touched at how nice and open 
everyone on the list is.  Thank you all, the ones I've met and the 
ones I've yet to meet, for this heartfelt welcome. 
Since seeing HAIR 35 years ago when my dad took me and a couple of my 
girl friends to the show (he's claiming now that he didn't know there 
was going to be a nude scene, yeah-right Dad) I've been a 
semi-collector, always loving the score but not finding much 
memorabilia at the flea markets. I've seen a handful of other 
productions of the show along the way (including Sherwin's VHS of his 
1987 show which I insisted he loan me back in '91.)  Then along came 
eBay, and I've been happily wallowing in foreign vinyl and playbills 
for a few years. BUT, besides occasional online auction binges and 
work related stuff, I don't spend a lot of time on the computer, 
which I refer to as the "fancy typewriter" in my office.  I forget to 
look up websites about things I love, and therefore did not even KNOW 
about this awesome HAIR website until recently when my friend Jeff 
Lunger introduced me to it.  My husband Eric (also in the pictures 
with me) works with Jeff and when he found out about Jeff 's likewise 
love of HAIR he promptly hooked us up and Jeff, I THANK YOU for 
bringing me up to speed, tuned in and turned on!
A funny side note - since the 1979 movie version came out, no matter 
what color or cut my hair has been, every so often to this day 
someone comes up to me and asks me if I'm "that girl in HAIR".  I 
know they're talking about Annie Golden.  I had the pleasure of 
working with Annie when I was the assistant coordinator of her movie 
CRAZY STREETS, and when I would go to where she was rehearsing a play 
in the Village to drop her off script pages or something her fellow 
cast members would ask her if I was her sister.  At the wrap party 
she autographed a headshot to me inscribed  "To my lovely look 
alike". I've continued to hear her sing at clubs over the years, 
she's got such a beautiful voice.  
To Nina, thank you for welcoming me into the club, and I'll send you 
shortly the pix I took at the pub and the La Mama events.  And  thank 
you for amassing and and maintaining this amazing web site and 
archive - Jeff and I are coming over!
To Robin MacNamara - I still have my 45 I bought when it came out of 
Lay a Little Lovin' On Me - I've always loved that song.  I see by 
some of your emails that you're from Boston (me too) and that you 
recently played in Cambridge - do you play in NYC too?
To Walter Harris - seeing you and your family at La Mama was an 
enriching and inspirational experience.  I know Jayne Ann from when 
our kids went to school together in Tribeca, I'm sorry I didn't 
formally meet you but it was great to catch up with her.
To Jonathon Johnson - you recently sent me your book, which I just 
finished, thank you for that inside look. What a treat.
To Sherwin - it was fun to reconnect with you, thanks for posting 
your pictures, and to Michael Butler and everyone else - The pleasure 
is all mine!  See you in September!

Ha ha ha Richard that is funny about you "hoping you are not too senile"... I understand the feeling though, when I was taking a Medical Terminology exam a few years back, the teacher mentioned my age and wondered if I had problems remembering things (I was pissed but let her slide).

Good Luck with your test you can do it... get some rest and stay straight for a couple of days before.... :-)

peace,

There's always Internet Relay Chat...it's universal, the original online
Internet chat protocol, and works with everything! No Java required, etc...

Only thing: if you use IRC, don't name the channel "hair" -- too vague. :)

BTW, good luck on your neuro final, Richard!!

Dear Meredith, Eric, Sammy and Zac,

 

 

Seeing you and Eric after all these years well, I am still speechless and
crying tears of joy.

 

Thank you for the pictures of your children, they are so beautiful.

 

I can't believe this miracle!

 

I love you,

  This is an open letter to the tribe, with a few personalized notes at the end.  I am a new member, and just had a chance to look at Sherwin's photo page from the other night.  I am so choked up, I can't even explain how I feel from this experience, but I 'm sure you've all probably heard it before from other "fans".  As grown up as I want to appear, I've got to gush as my inner child, the child who first saw HAIR at 12 years old at The Wilbur Theatre in Boston in 1970.  Hi everyone, I'm Meredith, the beaming smiling blonde girl in the hot pink shirt in the Bridgeport reunion photos.  To see myself included in these pictures, to feel welcome and made part of a beautiful family, to see my name in others' emails - these things I never expected in my life!  To attend my first big HAIR event (besides the smaller La Mama gatherings recently) and to be made to feel already part of the gang - I'm speechless, just blown away.  It's such a thrill and I'm so honored.  I also just read all the emails from May, (I'll have to get through all the past months emails when I have another free week) and am so touched at how nice and open everyone on the list is.  Thank you all, the ones I've met and the ones I've yet to meet, for this heartfelt welcome. 
  Since seeing HAIR 35 years ago when my dad took me and a couple of my girl friends to the show (he's claiming now that he didn't know there was going to be a nude scene, yeah-right Dad) I've been a semi-collector, always loving the score but not finding much memorabilia at the flea markets. I've seen a handful of other productions of the show along the way (including Sherwin's VHS of his 1987 show which I insisted he loan me back in '91.)  Then along came eBay, and I've been happily wallowing in foreign vinyl and playbills for a few years. BUT, besides occasional online auction binges and work related stuff, I don't spend a lot of time on the computer, which I refer to as the "fancy typewriter" in my office.  I forget to look up websites about things I love, and therefore did not even KNOW about this awesome HAIR website until recently when my friend Jeff Lunger introduced me to it.  My husband Eric (also in the pictures with me) works with Jeff and when he found out about Jeff 's likewise love of HAIR he promptly hooked us up and Jeff, I THANK YOU for bringing me up to speed, tuned in and turned on!
  A funny side note - since the 1979 movie version came out, no matter what color or cut my hair has been, every so often to this day someone comes up to me and asks me if I'm "that girl in HAIR".  I know they're talking about Annie Golden.  I had the pleasure of working with Annie when I was the assistant coordinator of her movie CRAZY STREETS, and when I would go to where she was rehearsing a play in the Village to drop her off script pages or something her fellow cast members would ask her if I was her sister.  At the wrap party she autographed a headshot to me inscribed  "To my lovely look alike". I've continued to hear her sing at clubs over the years, she's got such a beautiful voice.  
  To Nina, thank you for welcoming me into the club, and I'll send you shortly the pix I took at the pub and the La Mama events.  And  thank you for amassing and and maintaining this amazing web site and archive - Jeff and I are coming over!
  To Robin MacNamara - I still have my 45 I bought when it came out of Lay a Little Lovin' On Me - I've always loved that song.  I see by some of your emails that you're from Boston (me too) and that you recently played in Cambridge - do you play in NYC too?
  To Walter Harris - seeing you and your family at La Mama was an enriching and inspirational experience.  I know Jayne Ann from when our kids went to school together in Tribeca, I'm sorry I didn't formally meet you but it was great to catch up with her.
  To Jonathon Johnson - you recently sent me your book, which I just finished, thank you for that inside look. What a treat.
  To Sherwin - it was fun to reconnect with you, thanks for posting your pictures, and to Michael Butler and everyone else - The pleasure is all mine!  See you in September!

Get yourself an IRC client, first of all. Just so you all know...IRC is one of
the "standard" Internet services, right there along with e-mail, web, Usenet,
telnet, and FTP; sadly, it's very underused right now thanks to web-based chat
rooms that many people CAN'T use due to incompatibility, firewalls, etc.

You just have to make sure that everybody who wants to chat is on the same IRC
server -- you can configure the client for that.

Then you'd need to enter a "channel," or as users of AOL and other fake Internet
providers call, "chat room." all you need to do in the IRC program to enter a
channel is type "/join #flirzelkwerp", where "flirzelkwerp" is the name of the
channel you want to join. For example, let's say you want to have an IRC
channel named after this mailing list...you'd enter "/join #mb-hair". If the
channel doesn't exist, it's created when you join it. Then you wait for others
to join. :)

Hey, my Dauber Man!

Great description of the NJ Vietnam Veterans' Memorial! Sorry I missed you that day (but I had a pretty damn good excuse, eh?).  Really, you painted a nice picture of the Memorial.  If you were a high school senior, you could've vied for one of two $2,500 scholarships we give each year for the best essay on one's visit to the NJVVM.  We'll announce this year's on Memorial Day.  Following that, I'd wager the essays will be posted on our website www.njvvmf.org (notice how I snuck that plug in?).

Really, I think I'm gonna have to hire you to be a volunteer tour guide for the Memorial (well, actually, that role is usually filled by real, in-the-flesh, bona-fide Vietnam Veterans, but, in a pinch, guys like you and I can do an adequate job of at least conveying our reverance for the place and the individuals it honors).

But speaking of my work at the Memorial, that's where I am right now as I type this, which means I'm having to steal time to read and reply to all these wonderful past posts to the MB-HAIR List -- which explains why I've been tardy to do so.  Just hold on, everybody.  I'll get a round tuit as soon as I can.

But, quickly, YES, the whole Bridgeport-HAIR weekend adventure was nothing but great!  I'm grateful to all who were a part of it, including all who were a part of it by the good vibes they sent our way, wishing they could be there, too.  I think you WERE there, too, -- at least in spirit, 'cause there were some good good spirits floating around that little corner of the globe for that whole weekend (IMHO).

Okay, they're locking up the joint, so I've gotta get the hell outta Dodge!  So, see ya laters Alligators!

From: Sean Courtney <dauber@banana-and-louie.org>

[ ... ]  And of course I had to smack myself in the head...my wife and I checked out the
NJ Vietnam Veterans Memorial - good God, what a site...very moving and
extremely educational; seriously, I could spend days on end there just reading
and learning...if you're within, oh, about twenty thousand miles of Holmdel,
NJ, it's a must-visit site...

Cool arrangement, too...366 panels with the names of NJ folks who died in
Vietnam, one for each day of the year. Nine panels have no names on them; and
one of those blank panels made me wish I had been born a day earlier, as nobody
(from NJ) died on October 2. And they have an exhibit of letters home from those
who were in the midst of fighting. Some of them didn't make it back...very
sad...it's like manic depression -- you'll see a letter from someone who may
have been killed a week after writing the letter, but right next to it you
might see a letter from someone who did make it home safely...

And of course when Lisa asked "Hey, is Tioga Joe working today?" they said
naaah, he was in last weekend. I totally forgot he was in Bridgeport!

Meredith, it was a pleasure seeing you at the Bridgeport festivities. There 
was so much going on and so many people to rap with that I never had an 
opportunity to officially say "hello" and introduce myself. That's the 
reality of being immersed in a group of people who exude so much love, 
friendship, and excitement. I'm sure I'll chat with ya at La Mama; in the 
meantime, welcome and I'm glad you find your way here with Jeff's guidance.
I'm still riding the vibe of this past weekend and it's a beautiful thing.

PEACE,
Leo

Well thanks Richard. I'm 48, rapidly approaching 49. Has anyone noticed that 
Hair people tend to not look their age? I can't think of anyone at that 
party that looks their age. Hair keeps us all young, I guess...

Mr.Butler,
I was happy to see all the great pictures from your
reunion. You all look so happy. I just got in from the
Airport and I am very tired ,trying to get used to the
Time change . It feels good to be back at the Beach
though.
I will go to the Stables tomorrow to see my Two
Horses. To answer your question as to what type of
Horses I have , I have a Thoroughbred and a Paint .
The Paint is a bit wild but I will Break him by the
end of the Summer. 
The Fog is rolling in a bit Early here tonight and I
think It would be a good time for me to catch up on my
Sleep.
To all of you , You look Happy and I hope one day to
be able to Finally see the Production.
I still have not heard from anyone who Sherwin is in
the Pictures. I understand he lives here in LA and I
would love to know what he looks like .
Love to you all,
GiaRose

Hi Debbie... Hi Meredith...

I feel the same, we did not get enough time (although there was plenty of it)  to chat with each other there was so much love and sharing going around.

Welcome Meredith I was at the other end of the table... And Debbie we DID at least get to introduce ourselves to each other but Hello again and see you next time... :-)

This is too all of those I missed giving a hug and saying hello to, hopefully next time we will meet. There truly was a lot of love in the room and no one (at least I did not) wanted to interrupt an intense conversation already going on.. except Sherwin with his camera,... ha ha ha... :-)

peace,
barbara

BIZZARE STORY!!

Strange...this is one you gotta read bizzare twist of
fate Not even "Law and Order" would attempt to capture
this mess...This is an unbelievable twist of fate!!!

At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic
Science, AAFS President Dr. Don Harper Mills astounded
his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre
death. Here is the story:

On March 23, 1994 the medical examiner viewed the body
of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a
shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from
the top of a ten-story building intending to commit
suicide. He left a note to the effect indicating his
despondency. As he fell past the ninth floor his life
was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a
window, which killed him instantly.

Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a
safety net had been installed just below the eighth
floor level to protect some building workers and that
Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his
suicide the way he had planned.

"Ordinarily," Dr Mills continued, "Someone who sets
out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even
though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is
still defined as committing suicide." That Mr. Opus
was shot on the way to certain death, but probably
would not have been successful because of the safety
net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a
homicide on his hands. In the room on the ninth floor,
where the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by an
elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously
and he was threatening her with a shotgun. The man was
so upset that when he pulled the trigger he completely
missed his wife and the pellets went through the
window striking Mr. Opus.

When one intends to kill subject "A" but kills subject
"B"in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of
subject "B." When confronted with the murder charge
the old man and his wife were both adamant and both
said that they thought the shotgun was not loaded.

The old man said it was a long-standing habit to
threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no
intention to murder her. Therefore the killing of Mr.
Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, assuming the
gun had been accidentally loaded.

The continuing investigation turned up a witness who
saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun about six
weeks prior to the fatal accident. It transpired that
the old lady had cut off her son's financial support
and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to
use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the
expectation that his father would shoot his mother.

Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was
guilty of the murder even though he didn't actually
pull the trigger. The case now becomes one of murder
on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.

Now comes the exquisite twist.

Further investigation revealed that the son was, in
fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly
despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer
his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the
ten-story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by
a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story
window. The son had actually murdered himself so the
medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.

Westervelt Mark C. Anderson Director, Materials
Handling Room 101A, Park Avenue Warehouse Bowling
Green State University Bowling Green, Ohio.

> At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic

>
> On March 23, 1994 the medical examiner viewed the body

> window, which killed him instantly.
>
> Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a
> safety net had been installed just below the eighth
> floor level to protect some building workers and that
> Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his
> suicide the way he had planned.
>
> "Ordinarily," Dr Mills continued, "Someone who sets
> out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even
> though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is
> still defined as committing suicide." That Mr. Opus
> was shot on the way to certain death, but probably
> would not have been successful because of the safety
> net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a
> homicide on his hands. In the room on the ninth floor,
> where the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by an
> elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously
> and he was threatening her with a shotgun. The man was
> so upset that when he pulled the trigger he completely
> missed his wife and the pellets went through the
> window striking Mr. Opus.
>
> When one intends to kill subject "A" but kills subject
> "B"in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of
> subject "B." When confronted with the murder charge
> the old man and his wife were both adamant and both
> said that they thought the shotgun was not loaded.
>
> The old man said it was a long-standing habit to
> threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no
> intention to murder her. Therefore the killing of Mr.
> Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, assuming the
> gun had been accidentally loaded.
>
> The continuing investigation turned up a witness who

> weeks prior to the fatal accident. It transpired that
> the old lady had cut off her son's financial support
> and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to
> use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the
> expectation that his father would shoot his mother.
>
> Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was
> guilty of the murder even though he didn't actually
> pull the trigger. The case now becomes one of murder
> on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.
>
> Now comes the exquisite twist.
>
> Further investigation revealed that the son was, in

Hi
Just a note, on the Detroit photos added April 11, Claude gets featured
during "Manchester England" not during "Colored Spade."

My Dear HAIR family,

Five days since Bridgeport and I find I am still heavily under the
influence of HAIR ether.  

Michael, how wonderful to be with you.  Recently you wrote something
entitled "The Demise of Elegance" - Michael, to me (and I am sure to
others), you are the very essence of elegance and dignity - patriarchal,
our Silver Indian.  I love you.  By the way, you smiled and chuckled,
but your never answered my question: "Did you know how to type all those
years I was your secretary?!" 

Somebody mentioned that youth thing ... Debbie, Natalie, you are so
beautiful and you still don't look old enough to vote.  Speaking of age,
some of us may be close to reflecting "sixties something" on our
driver's licenses, but I've decided it's cool, because, well, "sixties
something" - that's where it all started anyways!

Barbara, how wonderful to be with you, my long, long time, close and
dear friend.  Living proof that we are really a family ... it doesn't
matter where or when we left off, we can just pick up wherever we are. 
And to our newer family members, each one of you a very important part
of this supernatural force, this one-ness, thank you, YOU will
perpetuate the legacy.

Sherwin, YOU and your photos are so special.  And it was so meaningful
when were we talking about feeling the presence of Jim, Gerry, and
Galt.  Jim, Galt, I hope to see you the next time we all come out and
play; it is YOUR recipe for the elixir we celebrate and it hasn't
changed.   Besides, Jim, I've got to see you - I've always, always had a
crush on you!  

Soon I'll have a bunch of non-digital photos to send out by mail-mail -
will be contacting family members for their addresses.

And meeting the articulate and compassionate family member Sibley/Joe
was amazing - the two of us even returned to the theatre to see the
second half of the second show and then afterwards closed down the pub! 
The streets of Bridgeport at that time were devoid of people, cars,
sounds - it was the empty stage when everyone has gone home, but if you
closed your eyes you knew we, all of us who had experienced Bridgeport,
had been touched by a magic wand. 

Sibley and I had our very own BE-IN in Central Park on Sunday - bench
sitting, people watching at the Alice in Wonderland Statue.  Why should
I be surprised meeting such a kindred spirit ... what a family we have! 

And Nina, without your commitment and without the love and support of
that beautiful family of yours (hello Annie and Trevor!) ... without
your attention to detail, without your HAIR integrity, I wouldn't have
had this to be writing about and feeling this day.

With love and in joy,
Sally

Oh Sally I came on line at such a great time today to see your e-mail....

Wish I could have been there to dance in the silent streets of Bridgeport with you and Sib. And I am so happy you found the "Alice in Wonderland Statue" in Central Park of which I have wonderful Photos of Judah when he was a toddler of about 2 years old thanks to you...... :-)) 

Peace my friend...

Yes Hud gets "featured" (sings) Colored Spade, but Claude gets tarred and 
"feathered" during Colored Spade, gives his "I'm a human being number..." 
speech, and then gets rinsed off during the first verse of Manchester, 
England. The photo from Detroit is as the black female cast membered are 
tarring and feathering Claude (don't you just love Tom O'Horgan's mind?!?!) 
during Colored Spade, while they are all replying "So you say! to Hud's list 
of what you will have to feed him if you ask him to dinner.

Lots more Detroit stage shots coming to the web site soon, thanks to Debbie 
Andrews!

yes i love tom ohorgans mind and try to emulate it in my own directing etc
have similar sensibility
( eg i tend to get them naked and taking blasphemy and poetry simultaneously
every chance i get to )
im even deeper on character work a la bergman
but i dont have toms capacity for suprising stage pictures
and explosive displays of physical movement
eg im a clod who trips four times on my own feet making twenty foot journey
etc

colored spade incidentally for its pounding rhythm and nastiness was my
favorite song when i was 10 - 11
( i was bad boy troublemaker obviously; glad i worked that out )

Subject: [Mb-hair] casting call
Message-ID: <20050526195509.D6FC683CD4@lax-gw03.mroute.net>

 producer, director, and casting director  Bill Hooey has been asked to cast
a new feature film to shoot on location in New Mexico this fall.  He is
currently looking for talent for the film:  The working title is "Backa
Street", the project is budgeted in the $5 to $9 million range, and the
production company has every intention of producing this as a SAG project.
Bill Hooey is currently looking (still), in particular, for one of the
stars:  She is an attractive bilingual Hispanic female (Latina) between 25
and 38 years of age.  She must speak fluent Spanish; and she can even speak
English with an accent.  The production company prefers that she be someone
who has worked in films in Mexico and has a semi-name there, but that's not
a requirement.  Also, there are another seven or eight larger supporting
roles (and many smaller roles) of varying descriptions; everything from
young adult to seniors, both male and female.  You are welcome to submit
your photo and resume to Mr. Hooey in care of APS Entertainment, 6464 Sunset
Blvd., #750, Hollywood, CA  90028.

FINGERS OFF THE NUCLEAR BUTTON, FOR NOW
May 24th 2005  

Democrats and Republicans have backed away from a potentially
catastrophic clash over judges in America's Senate. A vote to confirm
some conservative judges while protecting the liberal minority's rights
will keep the peace for a time. But fighting may break out again before
long

WAS it disaster avoided, or postponed? For weeks, a showdown over
George Bush's judicial nominees had threatened to devastate America's
Senate. Mr Bush had proposed several judges that Senate Democrats found
unacceptable. The Democrats threatened a filibuster, a parliamentary
procedure for delaying votes that can only be overcome with 60 of the
Senate's 100 votes. The Republicans, controlling just 55 votes,
counter-threatened to change the rules governing the filibuster--a
so-called "nuclear option" that could have brought co-operation between
the parties to a standstill.  

But late on Monday May 23rd, the two sides struck a deal. Several of
the most controversial judges will go to a Senate vote, which they will
almost certainly win. In exchange, the Republicans will not push the
nuclear option, and both sides promise in future only to filibuster
judicial nominees in "extraordinary circumstances", with that term left
undefined. The moderates who struck the deal emerged relieved and
smiling from their conclave. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat,
said: "Armageddon has been avoided. Thank God."  

For now, at least. The nuclear option, which had been scheduled for a
vote on Tuesday, would have, in the eyes of Democrats, overturned two
centuries of tradition in which the Senate has been the more careful
and deliberative of the two houses of Congress. The House of
Representatives, sniff senators, is for raucous party-line hacks.
Senators serve long, six-year terms, and are usually more independent
of their party leaderships. Senators are proud of their traditions of
comity and compromise, habitually boasting that theirs is the "world's
greatest deliberative body".

The nuclear option certainly would have changed that. Republicans
sought not to eliminate the filibuster entirely--merely the filibuster
on judicial nominees. But Democrats nonetheless threatened to bring the
work of the Senate to a grinding halt, using all the niggling
parliamentary tactics available to make sure that getting anything done
would be nigh-impossible. This was a dangerous strategy: whether or not
Americans agreed with ending the filibuster, the Democrats risked
appearing petulant and selfish at a time when the economy and national
security continue to cry for attention. (The shutdown of government by
Newt Gingrich's congressional Republicans in 1995 had ended up hurting
Mr Gingrich's party.) So it was a strategy that Harry Reid, the Senate
Democrats' leader, was keen to avoid.  

But both Mr Reid and Bill Frist, his Republican counterpart, were under
heavy pressure from the uncompromising wings of their party to hold
their ground. Among the central issues, as ever, were the nominees'
opinions on emotive issues like abortion and religion. For example,
William Pryor, one of Mr Bush's nominees, has called ROE V WADE, the
Supreme Court decision that guaranteed access to abortion, "the worst
abomination of constitutional law in our history". This kind of talk
thrills religious conservatives (whom Mr Frist is courting, in
anticipation of running for president in 2008) and appals secular
liberals. Well-funded and well-organised groups were pushing both
Senate leaders not to back down. Someone seemed bound to suffer
humiliation. That nobody did redounds to the credit of a handful of
centrists, especially those serving in states that tend to favour the
opposing party. Notable among the compromisers were Republicans from
the northeast and Democrats from the Midwest and South.  

APOCALYPSE LATER?
Just because there was no nuclear war does not mean that there will be
no fallout. Mr Frist, in particular, may feel the wrath of religious
conservatives, for whom a vote on every judge in question (two will now
be put aside indefinitely) was the only acceptable outcome. Meanwhile,
Democrats will take some flak for letting through judges like Mr Pryor
who will pull the judiciary further to the right. The federal bench
being the only branch of government not already dominated by the
Republicans, this could demoralise a party already adrift and spending
more of its time trying to stop Mr Bush's policies than proposing
alternatives.

Moreover, the fight may not yet be over. The agreement, and the wording
of "extraordinary circumstances", included enough ambiguity to let both
sides claim victory. But the real battle, everyone agrees, is still
ahead, when a vacancy opens up on the Supreme Court. The chief justice,
William Rehnquist, is suffering from cancer and seems certain to retire
during Mr Bush's term. He is conservative, but often considered a
pragmatic one whom Mr Bush could replace with a more ideological
figure. And John Paul Stevens, one of the court's liberal stalwarts, is
85. His replacement with a conservative would shift a 5-4 conservative
majority to 6-3. Liberals are desperate to prevent this.

Replacing Mr Rehnquist with another conservative might not trigger a
showdown. But if an abortion-rights supporter retires or dies and Mr
Bush nominates a ROE V WADE opponent to fill the vacancy--as his
conservative base and his own beliefs are almost certain to make him
do--Democrats are likely to consider this an "extreme circumstance".
Then the fight could begin anew, with Democrats threatening a
filibuster and Mr Frist, carried by his presidential ambitions, once
again threatening the nuclear option. 

Both parties have an interest in forestalling this. The Democrats risk
being seen as a hapless minority capable only of obstruction, which
could make voters unwilling to give them a chance at power in
congressional elections next year and the presidential poll in 2008.
Republicans, for their part, risk being portrayed as extremists. The
Terri Schiavo affair, in which Congress intervened to try to save a
brain-damaged woman from having her feeding tube removed, was a
public-relations embarrassment. The party that once stood for small
government is seen as liking big government just fine when it is in
control.  

But voters remain sceptical of giving either side too much power--as
Bill Clinton learned after two years of undivided power early in his
first term. His overambitious efforts to push a nationalising
health-care bill and other leftish goals led to a surprise trouncing in
the 1994 congressional elections. Some Republicans are now bearing this
precedent in mind. Compromise forestalled nuclear war this week, and
both sides have an interest in keeping their fingers off the button in
the future. But they may not be able to.

Hi Robin, and all.

Yes - everyone should send me contact information for any Hair alumni that 
they have contact info for!

We have contact information for just under 300 first run cast members here 
at the Archives (which includes the info you sent me, Robin. Thanks!). A few 
are in Europe, so we can assume that they won't make the treck (although 
Vincent - it would be astoundingly great if you could come!), but that still 
leaves almost 300 who will be invited. We will ask that everyone pass the 
info on and also send us contact information for any alumni that they have. 
I hope to send the initial save-the-date memo out to all by email and snail 
mail in the near future.

We will keep you all posted as it progresses!
Love,
Nina

Hi!!! As a cast member of the recent HAIR at the Downtown Cabaret Theater in 
Bridgeport, I just wanted to send out a large heart-felt thank you to all of 
those who came and saw us in our final weekend. It was so wonderful getting 
to meet and talk with you all, however briefly between our shows that 
evening. It was also lovely to see the passion you all have for this piece 
of art, and each other. Take care, and thanks again for supporting us!
-Mark-

Welcome Mark! I'm so glad you joined us!

For those of you who saw the show, Mark was the tribe member with the 
tie-dye T-shirt and leather vest. He was also notable for having his own 
long hair and not wearing a wig. :-)

    Against Discouragement 
    By Howard Zinn 
    Tom Dispatch 

    Wednesday 25 May 2005 
In 1963, historian Howard Zinn was fired from Spelman College, where he was chair of the History Department, because of his civil rights activities. This year, he was invited back to give the commencement address. Here is the text of that speech, given on May 15, 2005. 

    I am deeply honored to be invited back to Spelman after forty-two years. I would like to thank the faculty and trustees who voted to invite me, and especially your president, Dr. Beverly Tatum. And it is a special privilege to be here with Diahann Carroll and Virginia Davis Floyd. 

    But this is your day - the students graduating today. It's a happy day for you and your families. I know you have your own hopes for the future, so it may be a little presumptuous for me to tell you what hopes I have for you, but they are exactly the same ones that I have for my grandchildren. 

    My first hope is that you will not be too discouraged by the way the world looks at this moment. It is easy to be discouraged, because our nation is at war - still another war, war after war - and our government seems determined to expand its empire even if it costs the lives of tens of thousands of human beings. There is poverty in this country, and homelessness, and people without health care, and crowded classrooms, but our government, which has trillions of dollars to spend, is spending its wealth on war. There are a billion people in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East who need clean water and medicine to deal with malaria and tuberculosis and AIDS, but our government, which has thousands of nuclear weapons, is experimenting with even more deadly nuclear weapons. Yes, it is easy to be discouraged by all that. 

    But let me tell you why, in spite of what I have just described, you must not be discouraged. 

    I want to remind you that, fifty years ago, racial segregation here in the South was entrenched as tightly as was apartheid in South Africa. The national government, even with liberal presidents like Kennedy and Johnson in office, was looking the other way while black people were beaten and killed and denied the opportunity to vote. So black people in the South decided they had to do something by themselves. They boycotted and sat in and picketed and demonstrated, and were beaten and jailed, and some were killed, but their cries for freedom were soon heard all over the nation and around the world, and the President and Congress finally did what they had previously failed to do - enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. Many people had said: The South will never change. But it did change. It changed because ordinary people organized and took risks and challenged the system and would not give up. That's when democracy came alive. 

    I want to remind you also that when the war in Vietnam was going on, and young Americans were dying and coming home paralyzed, and our government was bombing the villages of Vietnam - bombing schools and hospitals and killing ordinary people in huge numbers - it looked hopeless to try to stop the war. But just as in the Southern movement, people began to protest and soon it caught on. It was a national movement. Soldiers were coming back and denouncing the war, and young people were refusing to join the military, and the war had to end. 

    The lesson of that history is that you must not despair, that if you are right, and you persist, things will change. The government may try to deceive the people, and the newspapers and television may do the same, but the truth has a way of coming out. The truth has a power greater than a hundred lies. I know you have practical things to do - to get jobs and get married and have children. You may become prosperous and be considered a success in the way our society defines success, by wealth and standing and prestige. But that is not enough for a good life. 

    Remember Tolstoy's story, "The Death of Ivan Illych." A man on his deathbed reflects on his life, how he has done everything right, obeyed the rules, become a judge, married, had children, and is looked upon as a success. Yet, in his last hours, he wonders why he feels a failure. After becoming a famous novelist, Tolstoy himself had decided that this was not enough, that he must speak out against the treatment of the Russian peasants, that he must write against war and militarism. 

    My hope is that whatever you do to make a good life for yourself - whether you become a teacher, or social worker, or business person, or lawyer, or poet, or scientist - you will devote part of your life to making this a better world for your children, for all children. My hope is that your generation will demand an end to war, that your generation will do something that has not yet been done in history and wipe out the national boundaries that separate us from other human beings on this earth. 

    Recently I saw a photo on the front page of the New York Times which I cannot get out of my mind. It showed ordinary Americans sitting on chairs on the southern border of Arizona, facing Mexico. They were holding guns and they were looking for Mexicans who might be trying to cross the border into the United States. This was horrifying to me - the realization that, in this twenty-first century of what we call "civilization," we have carved up what we claim is one world into two hundred artificially created entities we call "nations" and are ready to kill anyone who crosses a boundary. 

    Is not nationalism - that devotion to a flag, an anthem, a boundary, so fierce it leads to murder - one of the great evils of our time, along with racism, along with religious hatred? These ways of thinking, cultivated, nurtured, indoctrinated from childhood on, have been useful to those in power, deadly for those out of power. 

    Here in the United States, we are brought up to believe that our nation is different from others, an exception in the world, uniquely moral; that we expand into other lands in order to bring civilization, liberty, democracy. But if you know some history you know that's not true. If you know some history, you know we massacred Indians on this continent, invaded Mexico, sent armies into Cuba, and the Philippines. We killed huge numbers of people, and we did not bring them democracy or liberty. We did not go into Vietnam to bring democracy; we did not invade Panama to stop the drug trade; we did not invade Afghanistan and Iraq to stop terrorism. Our aims were the aims of all the other empires of world history - more profit for corporations, more power for politicians. 

    The poets and artists among us seem to have a clearer understanding of the disease of nationalism. Perhaps the black poets especially are less enthralled with the virtues of American "liberty" and "democracy," their people having enjoyed so little of it. The great African-American poet Langston Hughes addressed his country as follows: 

    You really haven't been a virgin for so long. 
    It's ludicrous to keep up the pretext... 

    You've slept with all the big powers 
    In military uniforms, 
    And you've taken the sweet life 
    Of all the little brown fellows... 

    Being one of the world's big vampires, 
    Why don't you come on out and say so 
    Like Japan, and England, and France, 
    And all the other nymphomaniacs of power. 

    I am a veteran of the Second World War. That was considered a "good war," but I have come to the conclusion that war solves no fundamental problems and only leads to more wars. War poisons the minds of soldiers, leads them to kill and torture, and poisons the soul of the nation. 

    My hope is that your generation will demand that your children be brought up in a world without war. It we want a world in which the people of all countries are brothers and sisters, if the children all over the world are considered as our children, then war - in which children are always the greatest casualties - cannot be accepted as a way of solving problems. 

    I was on the faculty of Spelman College for seven years, from 1956 to 1963. It was a heartwarming time, because the friends we made in those years have remained our friends all these years. My wife Roslyn and I and our two children lived on campus. Sometimes when we went into town, white people would ask: How is it to be living in the black community? It was hard to explain. But we knew this - that in downtown Atlanta, we felt as if we were in alien territory, and when we came back to the Spelman campus, we felt that we were at home. 

    Those years at Spelman were the most exciting of my life, the most educational certainly. I learned more from my students than they learned from me. Those were the years of the great movement in the South against racial segregation, and I became involved in that in Atlanta, in Albany, Georgia, in Selma, Alabama, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and Greenwood and Itta Bena and Jackson. I learned something about democracy: that it does not come from the government, from on high, it comes from people getting together and struggling for justice. I learned about race. I learned something that any intelligent person realizes at a certain point - that race is a manufactured thing, an artificial thing, and while race does matter (as Cornel West has written), it only matters because certain people want it to matter, just as nationalism is something artificial. I learned that what really matters is that all of us - of whatever so-called race and so-called nationality - are human beings and should cherish one another. 

    I was lucky to be at Spelman at a time when I could watch a marvelous transformation in my students, who were so polite, so quiet, and then suddenly they were leaving the campus and going into town, and sitting in, and being arrested, and then coming out of jail full of fire and rebellion. You can read all about that in Harry Lefever's book Undaunted by the Fight. One day Marian Wright (now Marian Wright Edelman), who was my student at Spelman, and was one of the first arrested in the Atlanta sit-ins, came to our house on campus to show us a petition she was about to put on the bulletin board of her dormitory. The heading on the petition epitomized the transformation taking place at Spelman College. Marian had written on top of the petition: "Young Ladies Who Can Picket, Please Sign Below." 

    My hope is that you will not be content just to be successful in the way that our society measures success; that you will not obey the rules, when the rules are unjust; that you will act out the courage that I know is in you. There are wonderful people, black and white, who are models. I don't mean African- Americans like Condoleezza Rice, or Colin Powell, or Clarence Thomas, who have become servants of the rich and powerful. I mean W.E.B. DuBois and Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and Marian Wright Edelman, and James Baldwin and Josephine Baker and good white folk, too, who defied the Establishment to work for peace and justice. 

    Another of my students at Spelman, Alice Walker, who, like Marian, has remained our friend all these years, came from a tenant farmer's family in Eatonton, Georgia, and became a famous writer. In one of her first published poems, she wrote: 

    It is true -- 
    I've always loved 
    the daring 
    ones 
    Like the black young 
    man 
    Who tried 
    to crash 
    All barriers 
    at once, 
    wanted to 
    swim 
    At a white 
    beach (in Alabama) 
    Nude. 

    I am not suggesting you go that far, but you can help to break down barriers, of race certainly, but also of nationalism; that you do what you can - you don't have to do something heroic, just something, to join with millions of others who will just do something, because all of those somethings, at certain points in history, come together, and make the world better. 

    That marvelous African-American writer Zora Neale Hurston, who wouldn't do what white people wanted her to do, who wouldn't do what black people wanted her to do, who insisted on being herself, said that her mother advised her: Leap for the sun - you may not reach it, but at least you will get off the ground. 

    By being here today, you are already standing on your toes, ready to leap. My hope for you is a good life.

Hi Tribe,

Very sorry about not being able to make it to Bridgeport, I see a lot of very nice pictures so far, I miss all of you.
Well I am back resurrected again, gee this is getting to be a job every time I turn around having to be resurrected. The things that go on in my life are so confusing sometimes I wonder when it is all going to slow down? But that's life!!! At this point I don't see things slowing for another 10 years right now. I am now in the process of finding another place to move to for a while, I think I am going to the mountains in Jasper Georgia. I hope I can keep all of my contact information the same except for my address, I will let everyone know about all the changes when they happen if any except address, I do know I will start living up there within a week or so. I will not lose contact.

Peace, Love, & Blessings to all ~~Charles~~

    Against Discouragement 
    By Howard Zinn 
    Tom Dispatch 

    Wednesday 25 May 2005 
In 1963, historian Howard Zinn was fired from Spelman College, where he was chair of the History Department, because of his civil rights activities. This year, he was invited back to give the commencement address. Here is the text of that speech, given on May 15, 2005. 

    I am deeply honored to be invited back to Spelman after forty-two years. I would like to thank the faculty and trustees who voted to invite me, and especially your president, Dr. Beverly Tatum. And it is a special privilege to be here with Diahann Carroll and Virginia Davis Floyd. 

    But this is your day - the students graduating today. It's a happy day for you and your families. I know you have your own hopes for the future, so it may be a little presumptuous for me to tell you what hopes I have for you, but they are exactly the same ones that I have for my grandchildren. 

    My first hope is that you will not be too discouraged by the way the world looks at this moment. It is easy to be discouraged, because our nation is at war - still another war, war after war - and our government seems determined to expand its empire even if it costs the lives of tens of thousands of human beings. There is poverty in this country, and homelessness, and people without health care, and crowded classrooms, but our government, which has trillions of dollars to spend, is spending its wealth on war. There are a billion people in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East who need clean water and medicine to deal with malaria and tuberculosis and AIDS, but our government, which has thousands of nuclear weapons, is experimenting with even more deadly nuclear weapons. Yes, it is easy to be discouraged by all that. 

    But let me tell you why, in spite of what I have just described, you must not be discouraged. 

    I want to remind you that, fifty years ago, racial segregation here in the South was entrenched as tightly as was apartheid in South Africa. The national government, even with liberal presidents like Kennedy and Johnson in office, was looking the other way while black people were beaten and killed and denied the opportunity to vote. So black people in the South decided they had to do something by themselves. They boycotted and sat in and picketed and demonstrated, and were beaten and jailed, and some were killed, but their cries for freedom were soon heard all over the nation and around the world, and the President and Congress finally did what they had previously failed to do - enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. Many people had said: The South will never change. But it did change. It changed because ordinary people organized and took risks and challenged the system and would not give up. That's when democracy came alive. 

    I want to remind you also that when the war in Vietnam was going on, and young Americans were dying and coming home paralyzed, and our government was bombing the villages of Vietnam - bombing schools and hospitals and killing ordinary people in huge numbers - it looked hopeless to try to stop the war. But just as in the Southern movement, people began to protest and soon it caught on. It was a national movement. Soldiers were coming back and denouncing the war, and young people were refusing to join the military, and the war had to end. 

    The lesson of that history is that you must not despair, that if you are right, and you persist, things will change. The government may try to deceive the people, and the newspapers and television may do the same, but the truth has a way of coming out. The truth has a power greater than a hundred lies. I know you have practical things to do - to get jobs and get married and have children. You may become prosperous and be considered a success in the way our society defines success, by wealth and standing and prestige. But that is not enough for a good life. 

    Remember Tolstoy's story, "The Death of Ivan Illych." A man on his deathbed reflects on his life, how he has done everything right, obeyed the rules, become a judge, married, had children, and is looked upon as a success. Yet, in his last hours, he wonders why he feels a failure. After becoming a famous novelist, Tolstoy himself had decided that this was not enough, that he must speak out against the treatment of the Russian peasants, that he must write against war and militarism. 

    My hope is that whatever you do to make a good life for yourself - whether you become a teacher, or social worker, or business person, or lawyer, or poet, or scientist - you will devote part of your life to making this a better world for your children, for all children. My hope is that your generation will demand an end to war, that your generation will do something that has not yet been done in history and wipe out the national boundaries that separate us from other human beings on this earth. 

    Recently I saw a photo on the front page of the New York Times which I cannot get out of my mind. It showed ordinary Americans sitting on chairs on the southern border of Arizona, facing Mexico. They were holding guns and they were looking for Mexicans who might be trying to cross the border into the United States. This was horrifying to me - the realization that, in this twenty-first century of what we call "civilization," we have carved up what we claim is one world into two hundred artificially created entities we call "nations" and are ready to kill anyone who crosses a boundary. 

    Is not nationalism - that devotion to a flag, an anthem, a boundary, so fierce it leads to murder - one of the great evils of our time, along with racism, along with religious hatred? These ways of thinking, cultivated, nurtured, indoctrinated from childhood on, have been useful to those in power, deadly for those out of power. 

    Here in the United States, we are brought up to believe that our nation is different from others, an exception in the world, uniquely moral; that we expand into other lands in order to bring civilization, liberty, democracy. But if you know some history you know that's not true. If you know some history, you know we massacred Indians on this continent, invaded Mexico, sent armies into Cuba, and the Philippines. We killed huge numbers of people, and we did not bring them democracy or liberty. We did not go into Vietnam to bring democracy; we did not invade Panama to stop the drug trade; we did not invade Afghanistan and Iraq to stop terrorism. Our aims were the aims of all the other empires of world history - more profit for corporations, more power for politicians. 

    The poets and artists among us seem to have a clearer understanding of the disease of nationalism. Perhaps the black poets especially are less enthralled with the virtues of American "liberty" and "democracy," their people having enjoyed so little of it. The great African-American poet Langston Hughes addressed his country as follows: 

    You really haven't been a virgin for so long. 
    It's ludicrous to keep up the pretext... 

    You've slept with all the big powers 
    In military uniforms, 
    And you've taken the sweet life 
    Of all the little brown fellows... 

    Being one of the world's big vampires, 
    Why don't you come on out and say so 
    Like Japan, and England, and France, 
    And all the other nymphomaniacs of power. 

    I am a veteran of the Second World War. That was considered a "good war," but I have come to the conclusion that war solves no fundamental problems and only leads to more wars. War poisons the minds of soldiers, leads them to kill and torture, and poisons the soul of the nation. 

    My hope is that your generation will demand that your children be brought up in a world without war. It we want a world in which the people of all countries are brothers and sisters, if the children all over the world are considered as our children, then war - in which children are always the greatest casualties - cannot be accepted as a way of solving problems. 

    I was on the faculty of Spelman College for seven years, from 1956 to 1963. It was a heartwarming time, because the friends we made in those years have remained our friends all these years. My wife Roslyn and I and our two children lived on campus. Sometimes when we went into town, white people would ask: How is it to be living in the black community? It was hard to explain. But we knew this - that in downtown Atlanta, we felt as if we were in alien territory, and when we came back to the Spelman campus, we felt that we were at home. 

    Those years at Spelman were the most exciting of my life, the most educational certainly. I learned more from my students than they learned from me. Those were the years of the great movement in the South against racial segregation, and I became involved in that in Atlanta, in Albany, Georgia, in Selma, Alabama, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and Greenwood and Itta Bena and Jackson. I learned something about democracy: that it does not come from the government, from on high, it comes from people getting together and struggling for justice. I learned about race. I learned something that any intelligent person realizes at a certain point - that race is a manufactured thing, an artificial thing, and while race does matter (as Cornel West has written), it only matters because certain people want it to matter, just as nationalism is something artificial. I learned that what really matters is that all of us - of whatever so-called race and so-called nationality - are human beings and should cherish one another. 

    I was lucky to be at Spelman at a time when I could watch a marvelous transformation in my students, who were so polite, so quiet, and then suddenly they were leaving the campus and going into town, and sitting in, and being arrested, and then coming out of jail full of fire and rebellion. You can read all about that in Harry Lefever's book Undaunted by the Fight. One day Marian Wright (now Marian Wright Edelman), who was my student at Spelman, and was one of the first arrested in the Atlanta sit-ins, came to our house on campus to show us a petition she was about to put on the bulletin board of her dormitory. The heading on the petition epitomized the transformation taking place at Spelman College. Marian had written on top of the petition: "Young Ladies Who Can Picket, Please Sign Below" 

    My hope is that you will not be content just to be successful in the way that our society measures success; that you will not obey the rules, when the rules are unjust; that you will act out the courage that I know is in you. There are wonderful people, black and white, who are models. I don't mean African- Americans like Condoleezza Rice, or Colin Powell, or Clarence Thomas, who have become servants of the rich and powerful. I mean W.E.B. DuBois and Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and Marian Wright Edelman, and James Baldwin and Josephine Baker and good white folk, too, who defied the Establishment to work for peace and justice. 

    Another of my students at Spelman, Alice Walker, who, like Marian, has remained our friend all these years, came from a tenant farmer's family in Eatonton, Georgia, and became a famous writer. In one of her first published poems, she wrote: 

    It is true --

Dearest Michael,
     Thank you for you birthday wish on my 56th.  It is wonderful.  I
feel healthy and I thank God for all my wonderful friends and family
who celebrate life.  You are a treasure.  I pray we will see each other
soon.  I wish you love and ten thousand dreams that come true.  I will
be in New York next week to start auditions our ninth production of
"SACHA".   We received over three hundred pictures and resume's from
our Back Stag announcement of "SACHA ON BROADWAY". I am following my
heart and I know this production will be the best.  You must come to
the opening in New York.  I will keep you posted.  Do you know where
Galt MacDermot is?  I would love to speak to him about "SACHA".  I want
to put together an A-TEAM.  I am also going to contact Jules Fisher and
his company.  Have a magical, musical day.  Peace and Love Always,

Philip Michael Thomas (smile)

Michael,
     Thank you for sharing Michael Butler's Blog.  I really enjoyed 
reading it.  Especially the part about "HAIR".   I was one of those 
actors who enjoyed being on stage.  Hair was absolutely my crowing 
glory and started my fabulous career with my first audition in March of 
1968 at the Aquarius Theater in Los Angeles and thirteen auditions 
later I was Hud and Berger in the San Francisco production for eighteen 
months.  As I am writing and producing my new musical "SACHA"   I 
always get inspiration from that wonderful time and I know that "SACHA" 
will be a star making vehicle for many actors in the near future.  Big 
hugs and lots of love from my heart to you.

Pappy,
So lovely to hear from you. I do hope to take your tour someday. I am in NYC
right now.
Have a great encampment. I'll bet the BBQ's are something else.

Dearest Michael,
     Thank you for you birthday wish on my 56th.  It is wonderful.  I
feel healthy and I thank God for all my wonderful friends and family
who celebrate life.  You are a treasure.  I pray we will see each other
soon.  I wish you love and ten thousand dreams that come true.  I will
be in New York next week to start auditions our ninth production of
"SACHA".   We received over three hundred pictures and resume's from
our Back Stag announcement of "SACHA ON BROADWAY". I am following my
heart and I know this production will be the best.  You must come to
the opening in New York.  I will keep you posted.  Do you know where
Galt MacDermot is?  I would love to speak to him about "SACHA".  I want
to put together an A-TEAM.  I am also going to contact Jules Fisher and
his company.  Have a magical, musical day.  Peace and Love Always,

Philip Michael Thomas (smile)

    Against Discouragement
    By Howard Zinn
    Tom Dispatch

    Wednesday 25 May 2005
In 1963, historian Howard Zinn was fired from Spelman College, where he was 
chair of the History Department, because of his civil rights activities. 
This year, he was invited back to give the commencement address. Here is the 
text of that speech, given on May 15, 2005.

    I am deeply honored to be invited back to Spelman after forty-two years. 
I would like to thank the faculty and trustees who voted to invite me, and 
especially your president, Dr. Beverly Tatum. And it is a special privilege 
to be here with Diahann Carroll and Virginia Davis Floyd.

    But this is your day - the students graduating today. It's a happy day 
for you and your families. I know you have your own hopes for the future, so 
it may be a little presumptuous for me to tell you what hopes I have for 
you, but they are exactly the same ones that I have for my grandchildren.

    My first hope is that you will not be too discouraged by the way the 
world looks at this moment. It is easy to be discouraged, because our nation 
is at war - still another war, war after war - and our government seems 
determined to expand its empire even if it costs the lives of tens of 
thousands of human beings. There is poverty in this country, and 
homelessness, and people without health care, and crowded classrooms, but 
our government, which has trillions of dollars to spend, is spending its 
wealth on war. There are a billion people in Africa, Asia, Latin America, 
and the Middle East who need clean water and medicine to deal with malaria 
and tuberculosis and AIDS, but our government, which has thousands of 
nuclear weapons, is experimenting with even more deadly nuclear weapons. 
Yes, it is easy to be discouraged by all that.

    But let me tell you why, in spite of what I have just described, you 
must not be discouraged.

    I want to remind you that, fifty years ago, racial segregation here in 
the South was entrenched as tightly as was apartheid in South Africa. The 
national government, even with liberal presidents like Kennedy and Johnson 
in office, was looking the other way while black people were beaten and 
killed and denied the opportunity to vote. So black people in the South 
decided they had to do something by themselves. They boycotted and sat in 
and picketed and demonstrated, and were beaten and jailed, and some were 
killed, but their cries for freedom were soon heard all over the nation and 
around the world, and the President and Congress finally did what they had 
previously failed to do - enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments to the 
Constitution. Many people had said: The South will never change. But it did 
change. It changed because ordinary people organized and took risks and 
challenged the system and would not give up. That's when democracy came 
alive.

    I want to remind you also that when the war in Vietnam was going on, and 
young Americans were dying and coming home paralyzed, and our government was 
bombing the villages of Vietnam - bombing schools and hospitals and killing 
ordinary people in huge numbers - it looked hopeless to try to stop the war. 
But just as in the Southern movement, people began to protest and soon it 
caught on. It was a national movement. Soldiers were coming back and 
denouncing the war, and young people were refusing to join the military, and 
the war had to end.

    The lesson of that history is that you must not despair, that if you are 
right, and you persist, things will change. The government may try to 
deceive the people, and the newspapers and television may do the same, but 
the truth has a way of coming out. The truth has a power greater than a 
hundred lies. I know you have practical things to do - to get jobs and get 
married and have children. You may become prosperous and be considered a 
success in the way our society defines success, by wealth and standing and 
prestige. But that is not enough for a good life.

    Remember Tolstoy's story, "The Death of Ivan Illych." A man on his 
deathbed reflects on his life, how he has done everything right, obeyed the 
rules, become a judge, married, had children, and is looked upon as a 
success. Yet, in his last hours, he wonders why he feels a failure. After 
becoming a famous novelist, Tolstoy himself had decided that this was not 
enough, that he must speak out against the treatment of the Russian 
peasants, that he must write against war and militarism.

    My hope is that whatever you do to make a good life for yourself - 
whether you become a teacher, or social worker, or business person, or 
lawyer, or poet, or scientist - you will devote part of your life to making 
this a better world for your children, for all children. My hope is that 
your generation will demand an end to war, that your generation will do 
something that has not yet been done in history and wipe out the national 
boundaries that separate us from other human beings on this earth.

    Recently I saw a photo on the front page of the New York Times which I 
cannot get out of my mind. It showed ordinary Americans sitting on chairs on 
the southern border of Arizona, facing Mexico. They were holding guns and 
they were looking for Mexicans who might be trying to cross the border into 
the United States. This was horrifying to me - the realization that, in this 
twenty-first century of what we call "civilization," we have carved up what 
we claim is one world into two hundred artificially created entities we call 
"nations" and are ready to kill anyone who crosses a boundary.

    Is not nationalism - that devotion to a flag, an anthem, a boundary, so 
fierce it leads to murder - one of the great evils of our time, along with 
racism, along with religious hatred? These ways of thinking, cultivated, 
nurtured, indoctrinated from childhood on, have been useful to those in 
power, deadly for those out of power.

    Here in the United States, we are brought up to believe that our nation 
is different from others, an exception in the world, uniquely moral; that we 
expand into other lands in order to bring civilization, liberty, democracy. 
But if you know some history you know that's not true. If you know some 
history, you know we massacred Indians on this continent, invaded Mexico, 
sent armies into Cuba, and the Philippines. We killed huge numbers of 
people, and we did not bring them democracy or liberty. We did not go into 
Vietnam to bring democracy; we did not invade Panama to stop the drug trade; 
we did not invade Afghanistan and Iraq to stop terrorism. Our aims were the 
aims of all the other empires of world history - more profit for 
corporations, more power for politicians.

    The poets and artists among us seem to have a clearer understanding of 
the disease of nationalism. Perhaps the black poets especially are less 
enthralled with the virtues of American "liberty" and "democracy," their 
people having enjoyed so little of it. The great African-American poet 
Langston Hughes addressed his country as follows:

    You really haven't been a virgin for so long.
    It's ludicrous to keep up the pretext...

    You've slept with all the big powers
    In military uniforms,
    And you've taken the sweet life
    Of all the little brown fellows...

    Being one of the world's big vampires,
    Why don't you come on out and say so
    Like Japan, and England, and France,
    And all the other nymphomaniacs of power.

    I am a veteran of the Second World War. That was considered a "good 
war," but I have come to the conclusion that war solves no fundamental 
problems and only leads to more wars. War poisons the minds of soldiers, 
leads them to kill and torture, and poisons the soul of the nation.

    My hope is that your generation will demand that your children be 
brought up in a world without war. It we want a world in which the people of 
all countries are brothers and sisters, if the children all over the world 
are considered as our children, then war - in which children are always the 
greatest casualties - cannot be accepted as a way of solving problems.

    I was on the faculty of Spelman College for seven years, from 1956 to 
1963. It was a heartwarming time, because the friends we made in those years 
have remained our friends all these years. My wife Roslyn and I and our two 
children lived on campus. Sometimes when we went into town, white people 
would ask: How is it to be living in the black community? It was hard to 
explain. But we knew this - that in downtown Atlanta, we felt as if we were 
in alien territory, and when we came back to the Spelman campus, we felt 
that we were at home.

    Those years at Spelman were the most exciting of my life, the most 
educational certainly. I learned more from my students than they learned 
from me. Those were the years of the great movement in the South against 
racial segregation, and I became involved in that in Atlanta, in Albany, 
Georgia, in Selma, Alabama, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and Greenwood and 
Itta Bena and Jackson. I learned something about democracy: that it does not 
come from the government, from on high, it comes from people getting 
together and struggling for justice. I learned about race. I learned 
something that any intelligent person realizes at a certain point - that 
race is a manufactured thing, an artificial thing, and while race does 
matter (as Cornel West has written), it only matters because certain people 
want it to matter, just as nationalism is something artificial. I learned 
that what really matters is that all of us - of whatever so-called race and 
so-called nationality - are human being!
 s and should cherish one another.

    I was lucky to be at Spelman at a time when I could watch a marvelous 
transformation in my students, who were so polite, so quiet, and then 
suddenly they were leaving the campus and going into town, and sitting in, 
and being arrested, and then coming out of jail full of fire and rebellion. 
You can read all about that in Harry Lefever's book Undaunted by the Fight. 
One day Marian Wright (now Marian Wright Edelman), who was my student at 
Spelman, and was one of the first arrested in the Atlanta sit-ins, came to 
our house on campus to show us a petition she was about to put on the 
bulletin board of her dormitory. The heading on the petition epitomized the 
transformation taking place at Spelman College. Marian had written on top of 
the petition: "Young Ladies Who Can Picket, Please Sign Below."

    My hope is that you will not be content just to be successful in the way 
that our society measures success; that you will not obey the rules, when 
the rules are unjust; that you will act out the courage that I know is in 
you. There are wonderful people, black and white, who are models. I don't 
mean African- Americans like Condoleezza Rice, or Colin Powell, or Clarence 
Thomas, who have become servants of the rich and powerful. I mean W.E.B. 
DuBois and Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and Marian Wright Edelman, and 
James Baldwin and Josephine Baker and good white folk, too, who defied the 
Establishment to work for peace and justice.

    Another of my students at Spelman, Alice Walker, who, like Marian, has 
remained our friend all these years, came from a tenant farmer's family in 
Eatonton, Georgia, and became a famous writer. In one of her first published 
poems, she wrote:

    It is true -- 
    I've always loved
    the daring
    ones
    Like the black young
    man
    Who tried
    to crash
    All barriers
    at once,
    wanted to
    swim
    At a white
    beach (in Alabama)
    Nude.

    I am not suggesting you go that far, but you can help to break down 
barriers, of race certainly, but also of nationalism; that you do what you 
can - you don't have to do something heroic, just something, to join with 
millions of others who will just do something, because all of those 
somethings, at certain points in history, come together, and make the world 
better.

    That marvelous African-American writer Zora Neale Hurston, who wouldn't 
do what white people wanted her to do, who wouldn't do what black people 
wanted her to do, who insisted on being herself, said that her mother 
advised her: Leap for the sun - you may not reach it, but at least you will 
get off the ground.

    By being here today, you are already standing on your toes, ready to 
leap. My hope for you is a good life.

Hi Tribe,

Very sorry about not being able to make it to Bridgeport, I see a lot of 
very nice pictures so far, I miss all of you.
Well I am back resurrected again, gee this is getting to be a job every time 
I turn around having to be resurrected. The things that go on in my life are 
so confusing sometimes I wonder when it is all going to slow down? But 
that's life!!! At this point I don't see things slowing for another 10 years

    Against Discouragement
    By Howard Zinn
    Tom Dispatch

    Wednesday 25 May 2005
In 1963, historian Howard Zinn was fired from Spelman College, where he was 
chair of the History Department, because of his civil rights activities. 
This year, he was invited back to give the commencement address. Here is the 
text of that speech, given on May 15, 2005.

    I am deeply honored to be invited back to Spelman after forty-two years. 
I would like to thank the faculty and trustees who voted to invite me, and 
especially your president, Dr. Beverly Tatum. And it is a special privilege 
to be here with Diahann Carroll and Virginia Davis Floyd.

    But this is your day - the students graduating today. It's a happy day 
for you and your families. I know you have your own hopes for the future, so 
it may be a little presumptuous for me to tell you what hopes I have for 
you, but they are exactly the same ones that I have for my grandchildren.

    My first hope is that you will not be too discouraged by the way the 
world looks at this moment. It is easy to be discouraged, because our nation 
is at war - still another war, war after war - and our government seems 
determined to expand its empire even if it costs the lives of tens of 
thousands of human beings. There is poverty in this country, and 
homelessness, and people without health care, and crowded classrooms, but 
our government, which has trillions of dollars to spend, is spending its 
wealth on war. There are a billion people in Africa, Asia, Latin America, 
and the Middle East who need clean water and medicine to deal with malaria 
and tuberculosis and AIDS, but our government, which has thousands of 
nuclear weapons, is experimenting with even more deadly nuclear weapons. 
Yes, it is easy to be discouraged by all that.

    But let me tell you why, in spite of what I have just described, you 
must not be discouraged.

    I want to remind you that, fifty years ago, racial segregation here in 
the South was entrenched as tightly as was apartheid in South Africa. The 
national government, even with liberal presidents like Kennedy and Johnson 
in office, was looking the other way while black people were beaten and 
killed and denied the opportunity to vote. So black people in the South 
decided they had to do something by themselves. They boycotted and sat in 
and picketed and demonstrated, and were beaten and jailed, and some were 
killed, but their cries for freedom were soon heard all over the nation and 
around the world, and the President and Congress finally did what they had 
previously failed to do - enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments to the 
Constitution. Many people had said: The South will never change. But it did 
change. It changed because ordinary people organized and took risks and 
challenged the system and would not give up. That's when democracy came 
alive.

    I want to remind you also that when the war in Vietnam was going on, and 
young Americans were dying and coming home paralyzed, and our government was 
bombing the villages of Vietnam - bombing schools and hospitals and killing 
ordinary people in huge numbers - it looked hopeless to try to stop the war. 
But just as in the Southern movement, people began to protest and soon it 
caught on. It was a national movement. Soldiers were coming back and 
denouncing the war, and young people were refusing to join the military, and 
the war had to end.

    The lesson of that history is that you must not despair, that if you are 
right, and you persist, things will change. The government may try to 
deceive the people, and the newspapers and television may do the same, but 
the truth has a way of coming out. The truth has a power greater than a 
hundred lies. I know you have practical things to do - to get jobs and get 
married and have children. You may become prosperous and be considered a 
success in the way our society defines success, by wealth and standing and 
prestige. But that is not enough for a good life.

    Remember Tolstoy's story, "The Death of Ivan Illych." A man on his 
deathbed reflects on his life, how he has done everything right, obeyed the 
rules, become a judge, married, had children, and is looked upon as a 
success. Yet, in his last hours, he wonders why he feels a failure. After 
becoming a famous novelist, Tolstoy himself had decided that this was not 
enough, that he must speak out against the treatment of the Russian 
peasants, that he must write against war and militarism.

    My hope is that whatever you do to make a good life for yourself - 
whether you become a teacher, or social worker, or business person, or 
lawyer, or poet, or scientist - you will devote part of your life to making 
this a better world for your children, for all children. My hope is that 
your generation will demand an end to war, that your generation will do 
something that has not yet been done in history and wipe out the national 
boundaries that separate us from other human beings on this earth.

    Recently I saw a photo on the front page of the New York Times which I 
cannot get out of my mind. It showed ordinary Americans sitting on chairs on 
the southern border of Arizona, facing Mexico. They were holding guns and 
they were looking for Mexicans who might be trying to cross the border into 
the United States. This was horrifying to me - the realization that, in this 
twenty-first century of what we call "civilization," we have carved up what 
we claim is one world into two hundred artificially created entities we call 
"nations" and are ready to kill anyone who crosses a boundary.

fierce it leads to murder - one of the great evils of our time, along with 
racism, along with religious hatred? These ways of thinking, cultivated,

Hi Tribe,

Very sorry about not being able to make it to Bridgeport, I see a lot of 
very nice pictures so far, I miss all of you.
Well I am back resurrected again, gee this is getting to be a job every time 
I turn around having to be resurrected. The things that go on in my life are 
so confusing sometimes I wonder when it is all going to slow down? But 
that's life!!! At this point I don't see things slowing for another 10 years 
right now. I am now in the process of finding another place to move to for a 
while, I think I am going to the mountains in Jasper Georgia. I hope I can 
keep all of my contact information the same except for my address, I will 
let everyone know about all the changes when they happen if any except 
address, I do know I will start living up there within a week or so. I will 
not lose contact.

Peace, Love, & Blessings to all ~~Charles~~

Dear,dear Phillip,
        Hi!!!!!!!!!!  So wonderful to see your name on the list!! So far as 
I can see, I have been the only tribe member from San Francisco. I too 
remember that glorious day in "68"!  But mine was in S.F. Annie,Lydia, and 
myself were in a Great Rock group called "Stoneground". I actually was 
Lydia's replacement. It gave us all a wonderful chance to tour the world and 
work with alot of Great people as well. I am so happy to hear that you are 
well!  I have been trying to locate more S.F. tribe members.  Do you know 
where any are Phillip? By the way my son Jeremy will be so happy as well! 
You were one of his favorites growing up on The Vice!!!! I hope to hear from 
you!
                      Love,Peace,Happiness!~Elizabeth Caveness

 Remember the Wounded

 Eleven years ago Lewis B. Puller Jr., winner of a Pulitzer Prize for the book "Fortunate Son"  on his experiences as a Marine platoon commander who was severely wounded in Vietnam, took his own life. Puller had lost both legs and the use of his hands in the war. On May 11, 1994, he finally succumbed...

Hi, sent this before but I don't want you to miss it.
Quite revealing and really worth the read.

"There are two great powers and they've been fighting since time began.
Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency
we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little
increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who
want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to
obey and be humble and submit"

David Shaw is the man behind Jabberwocky.com and the original HAIR List.

Right you are Barbara.

But I believe that RJs referring to David James' Hait Tribe web site, which 
is no longer on the web. I have most of what was there in the Archives, so 
send me an email and let me know what you were looking for there, abd I'll 
try and find it for you.

Right - two David, both Hair connected. David Shaw is (was) the Jabberwocky 
Hair List, David James is (was) HairTribe.net web site. Both are no longer 
online, the main difference being that David James donated his site content 
to the Archives when he closed it down, David Shaw sadly did not.

May I add that the Jabberwocky was actually placed with David Shaw by a
young lady, whose name escapes me at the moment. She started the Hair List I
invited her down to LA (paid the ticket) and sponsored her attempts. Later
she became disinterested and did not have the time to follow through. Nina
tried repeatedly for collaboration. I don't think it ever happened. The Shaw
situation arose when he abruptly castigated our putting anything political
on the site. Claimed it offended members. Strange when HAIR was/is a venue
for social change and politics.
