RE:  New HAiR??  Robin - Amy take note  Charles I love you

Hi Robin, Amy

Why re-write HAiR?  The show stands on it's own.  When we updated it in
the 70's, it started to get too sloppy.  LET IT BE what it was when Gerry
and Jim first wrote it.  No, it was not meant to be a museum piece
Richard, but let's face it, it is perfect as it is.  It still should be
performed, and done a LOT in it's original version.  It is the most
moving piece to date, (but I need to mention "Johnny Got His Gun" and
"Whose Life is it Anyway."

We need a whole new show around what is happening now.  If WE can't write
one, someone else will and probably will fuck it up.  We have the
passion.  Let's go for it.  

Sorry guys, but we were at the forefront then and we MUST be at the
forefront now.

Who wants to collaberate?   I am willing to offer my studio to work. 
Plus winter is coming and Florida is nice from October on.

Charles - there are always going to be people full of hate, we cannot
change them.  We can only change ourselves.
We must make a new show.
 
We can include the Sheehan stuff, and the MButler stuff and the
references to Vietnam.  But this was does not have the anti-movement that
we had.  Can we instill this in the youth of today?  I think so.
We can at least try.  I believe we MUST try.

PS  Why is there so much junk on this string?  Please try to contiain
your putting everyone elses comments along with yours!  This really
sucks.
