[Mb-hair] Banned

[richard haase]

NO MIKE hair is banned banned
i dont know finitely if its by law by statute
but i do know that a message(s) were gotten to me
from the mayors office of mexacali and the governors office of the province
that the last company of hair in mexico was shut down closed rapidly
the company members all arrested, although i understand they were summarily released
nothing happened to them; they were detained in the end 24 - 72 hours
?
but also from what i understand what the mexican authorities found intolerable from their emic pt of view
was not the rebellion, the cursing or the sexuality; but mexico is an ultra catholic country
and things like the interplay of the word " virgin " and profanity in " donna "
or the line; is my donna the madonna? as it appears on the bdwy record jacket
and other inferences and statements about religion and the madonna etc
that was why they closed it down
these were aspects that in the US were not seized upon per se
although hair was very contraversial because of the politics irreverence and sexuality
but the problems re the mexican production
had to do with " blasphemy "

  How many countries is Hair banned in? I know for quite some time it was banned in New Zealand, and according to Richard Haase, it is banned in Mexico. I know that Rocky Horror was also disliked by the government in Mexico, but I don't think it was ever banned there.
