Hair - Original Broadway Soundtrack (1968)

Wow. My mom and dad saw the play and then bought that soundtrack. I about wore it out. I haven't listened to it since about 1970, when mom and dad broke up and I went with the parent who didn't get the album collection.

I have to know -- what made you decide that was the album to listen to today?

Also...

Did you guys plan this out?

Have always loved musicals and would often play this soundtrack in college. Break it out from time to time but not for a couple of years. What triggered this time, you ask? Actually there was a trigger - watched The 40-Year Old Virgin the other night which ends with the cast singing and dancing to "Aquarius". Said to myself, "Self, gotta break the Hair soundtrack out again"
