”Hair” was an amazingly successful musical. I’ve regaled the Canteen with the story of my interview with James Rado and Gerome Ragni, two of the three who wrote the musical. Rado was a nice guy, but Ragni was an SOB, bouncing insults off my ROTC uniform. A few weeks later, some idiot at the college radio station recorded over that interview, and I could have strangled him. This was one of the most successful renditions of a song from “Hair”, the title song, which came in at #18 on its way to the Top 10.
