"Thus it is men mark their time in terms of the wars fought 'tween them." - "Cry Spirit, the Romantic Journey of two Souls through Time" By Debra A. F. Seiz
The sudden unison movements from 4:08 - 4:10 shock me every time. If it did nothing else, this movie gave people the chance to see Twyla Tharp's choreography.
here are the lyrics:Ripped open by metal explosion Caught in barbed wire Fireball Bullet shock Bayonet Electricity Shrapnel Throbbing meat Electronic data processing Black uniforms Bare feet, carbines Mail-order rifles Shoot the muscles 256 Viet Cong captured 256 Viet Cong captured Prisoners in Niggertown It's a dirty little war Three Five Zero Zero Take weapons up and begin to kill Watch the long long armies drifting home
Craziest damn thing: my stepfather -- who normally hated all rock music, most TV shows, most movies, exchanged maybe a dozen sentences with me in a week, seemed indifferent to everything but animals, & was something of a martinet -- *LOVED* this movie. He couldn't get enough of it.
Well, he'd been a soldier in WW2 (Czech), that was probably it.
Consider this: The reflecting pool of the Mall where this was filmed used to be a gathering place for all sorts of public events and demonstrations. It was a place that symbolized peace. Now all those public spaces have been filled in with WAR MEMORIALS -- you can't see the view of the Washington Monument from the Lincoln Memorial without looking through a gigantic war memorial. And the war memorials draw more people than the memorials to Lincoln. And now, they are sure to build more.

The speech of greatness makes me sick! Its greatness and pride? What so they can bloody die! Its more a speech saying "Boys I am sorry the government is sending you over seas. There is a small chance you be coming back. I would cry boys if I could but sorry, this is what the Politics want. So go and die and make your mama cry for she lost her child!" But I do like the song a lot but again it makes me sick for those poor kids!
I like your video now check out "MR CLUB BANGA on youtube" the black male with blonde hair and white eyes. The song is called "THROW YA COLORS UP". You say crazy, but I say kool!
a very horrible movie. No respect for Right and Wrong in the eyes of God. Maybe they forgot about the alliance between Hitler and Stalin? Maybe they didnt know of the 100's of millions butchered by communist agression?? Maybe if Johnson hadnt taken such a hard stance against Communism we would be anniliated as a people? Dont think it cant happen. Men die in wars, Stand up like men and fight against evil giving your own life like men of God. Courage, Morals, Self-Sacrifice.
Living, if you want to call it that, in a secret restricted nuclear city controlled by clandestine subterranean facilities applying synthetic telepathy/neuro-impulse bio weapons technology, the United Nations should allow hunger strikes, and ban lush/cig techo.
"Viet Cong losses leveling up three five zero zero per month" to General Maxwell Taylor and/or Robert MacNamara in what it calls "Front page testimony February 66".
@neobird13 Its an Allen Ginsberg poem called "Wichita Vortex Sutra ". The whole song is based off the poem. The song is much more effective in the original Broadway show of Hair.
(Aside)If you want to see Hair how it was originally intended by the hippies who wrote it, the original show is the best way to see it.
What was Vietnam possibly gonna do to us? Invade us? good luck. We already dealt with Korea, this is how the contractors got started in war. That's y we have a ton of them in Iraq getting rich right now because of this stupid war or "police action" if you want to be technical. Then the Russians invaded Afghanistan for oil in the 80's hence the embargo. You think this is the first time weve been there WRONG. Even before the first gulf war with Daddy Bush we were there. Military IS BULLSHIT!!
its people like you why the vietnam war started, you think its right that the usa sent american troops into vietnam on some belief that the U.S. had to prevent the communists from taking over Vietnam. These politicians believed that there was a secret international alliance of communist countries, and that if Vietnam fell to the communists, they would then systematically take over the world, country by country, until the U.S. itself fell to communism.
During the Vietnam war, more than 47,000 Americans were killed in action and 303,000 wounded in action. The South Vietnamese suffered about 200,000 killed and 500,000 wounded. The North Vietnamese and the Vietcong suffered about 900,000 killed and an unknown number wounded. More than a million Vietnamese civilians were killed. The financial cost being about two hundred billion dollars (still think war is the right thing to go about things?) no! and i dont like being called a shit head thanks
@eryanNY27 Actually, war is about $, not lives. The US is run by the bankstas that own our Federal Reserve (unconst. for any private bank to have the right to print/distribute US currency). our Govt has to borrow ALL funds from the Fed, paid back w/interest (=our huge debt). WAR is the #1 moneymaker, recession #2. Wars are nothing more than legalized murder justified as patriotism for those in power to make huge $. The military exists to defend our borders, not for mass genocide elsewhere
@bellablue108 sure you know all about it. so..you one of those bankstas, is that how your an expert? sure, you know it all. ya, many a dictator wants to thank you for taking the blame off of them.
And dont forget the many millions worked to death, starved to death, tortured and murdered by those dictators, they thought they was murdered by evil men when you knew all along it was the bankstas.
Some in the financial realm may take part (need proof), but to lay it all on them is so foolish.
@ighforever Proof? Public info, no excuse for ignorance. Was discussing US war agenda; mass murder for $, no care for life. Pres. W.Wilson gave the Fed power in 1913. It is privately owned NOT FEDERAL(ALL countries MUST control printing/distrib. of $ to maintain autonomy) we gave this power to internat'l bankers that hold wealth/power in many countries. When u control the $ of a country, u control it's govt. NO REMOTE connect w/dictators, ONLY to bogus US war. Expert? Read much? Basic info
@bellablue108 Every man has to make the choice to walk with God or no. If a people surrenders to Christ you can bet Things will run well, protected borders,honest bankers & industry & gov. Excellent military ready to give there lives to protect others as many has done already. God will pour out the Blessings.
Going to war against saddam, taliban, Alqaeda, hitler, stalin(cold war), mao(Korea), russia(Korea, vietnam, Afghanistan) musolini, hirohito, Revolutionary and Civil war etc. were Righteous
@ighforever Its kinda tough to buy into a religion when the basic teaching IS LOVE yet hypocrites KILL in Christ's name...Every HUMAN can choose to walk with God or no, yet still limit GOD to human u.standing? I am that I am....I am not afraid to acknowledge God within, trust in my ability to discern, act with Love, know right from wrong. Religion does not justify bloodshed....man misinterprets the Word in all paths. NO WAR is RIGHTEOUS! LOL!!! wake up & follow Christ if this is your truth.
Well said mate, I remember the My Lai Masacre, and the inquiry after where the commanding officer tried to wriggle his way out of ordering the murder of civilians.
One source says "Three-five-zero-zero, or the number three-thousand-five-hundred, is the number of Marines who landed in Vietnam on March 8, 1965 - the first ever to be specifically designated as COMBAT troops - the official beginning of America's escalation of the War in Vietnam".
Another is the average casualties per month at the height of the war.
This number rocks. It was a very well done movie. The last sequence where Berger gets swallowed by the transport while Bukowski tries to save him is sad but dramatic. The segues into Let the Sun Shine and the crowd scene. I knew one of the members of the production crew and he gave me the inside scoop on some parts of this movie.
Actually it is referring to the estimated number of Viet Cong losses in the Vietnam War per month (perhaps misstating the actual number, which was 3,800)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Keoh11 Yes it is too bad we couldn't use the same solution on the libtard hiippie dippie dip shits as they used on the speakers. Thanks to the cowardly hippies millions of people died in SEA at the hands of the communists; but hey if Hitler was still burning Jews, they still would go and fight.
"Given a Vietnamese population of around 38 million during the war years, Vietnamese casualties represent a good 12-13% of the country. So anyone who thinks that US bosses aren't worse than Hitler is living on an oasis in Disneyland. "
Any man who holds a gun and is ready to kill is as worse as Hitler was. Never mind if he kills one or ten or even hundred others, he's still as worse. And sorry if my english is bad, I'm swedish.
Are you stupid or don't you have the ability to read? It applies to any man who holds a gun and is ready to kill, I don't think I could have made it any easier for you to understand. No soldiers, no wars, that's how easy that is.
If you're forced to join the army, forced to hold a gun, and forced to shoot it, what are your options there? Your own death? Don't lie and tell me you'd die for your beliefs because that's crap. THAT'S what this movie is protesting. It's also opinions like yours that helped alienate thousands of soldiers from American society following Vietnam.
Crap? What gives you the right to call my beliefs crap? I would rather die than shoot somebody. If somebody forced me to hold a gun I would simply let go of it, and if I was forced to shoot it I would simply take the bullets out of it and press the trigger. And as I said, it's not that black and white, if you want to discuss further you can have my email.
Dude, as you are Swedish you just do not know "how it is". You know in Poland we have one joke: "Lets switch with Sweden the places. If Sweden will survive 50 years - we will apologize everybody and we get back to our geo location (between Germany and Russia) but seriously: One solider is more danerous that a sick painter with a power over millions??? c'mon, you should know who should be eliminated first.
1. Ok lets say you have a magic knoledge and you are back to 1939- how would you try to stop Hitler (let me help you - one bullet....)
2. Ok, I made an assumption that as long as you are Swedish and you have probably never smell the powder (except for Nobel) it is easy to say "do not eliminate anybody" - no dude you are WRONG - It is worth to eliminate one in order to save millions. I know you had this in schools but the real world is different. Sorry it is asad truth.
2. and thia is what I affraid of most from SWEDEN: I saw your troops on Balkans - newest weapons, big guys - and nobody respected them at all !!!!! having in mind what you said : I would affraid if ever my life would be depended to such soliders!!!! anyway I have to respect your views, nothing more. I wish you more vital energy to live your life - it is the only one you have (except for the after death life in heaven)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
1. If killling him can save the other???? - lesson learnt - after WWII - no place for hesitation
2. I am not the GOD but we know what is wrong and what is ok (human rights withs all its charters). I do not have to tell to the people anything - everything is right there. It is actually you who may be for or against this rules. If you are against - you should be punished. so what is so complicated????
This song, like most of the songs of Hair were ruined in this movie. Listen to the original Broadway soundtrack or even your local high school's production.
It's sadly ironic that those of the culture and minds that inspired this musical are many of the same ones who are working for the other team 40 years after this musical went on stage.
How bizarre is it that in September, 2008, I am driving around in my car listening to the "Hair" movie musical soundtrack? Just like back in the day when people questioned the government, I am doing so now. For years, I've loved a few of the songs on it, but this being an election year, I felt compelled to buy it. And listening to it, I go thru a range of emotions and ask myself who will be the person to get this country back on track?
Im Canadian, loved Hair, cant help but comment, Yes, your country has come 360. All over again as far as the split in opinion/feeling about the war. I wont comment on my feeling but I can understand how this video must make you feel. Take care. Love and support to you.
you think that's eerie... think about what we had to go through in our class when our teacher just whipped it out and said: "we'll be singing this right after 'Bye Bye Birdie'." don't you all agree that it's such a good mix?
3,500 Vietnamese were killed in one month at some point. I think. A general had reported that proudly, and followed by saying it digit by digit. "Three five zero zero". At least, if I remember correctly.
And the US Army is NOT the greatest fighting force in the world. The greatest would be, or at least should be, the people! :3 (Some of which just happen to be in the US Army. Other armies and military organizations, too.)
About the 3 - 5 - 0 - 0: Not even the lyric writers (Rado & Ragni) remember the origins of it anymore, they also think it's some body count... but in fact 3500 was the reported number of US Marines in the first contingent deployed in Vietnam, taking the US from "advisors" in the Vietnamese conflict into full-scale war participants.
I know this since I'm about 300 years old and omnipresent. :p

@Keoh11 Yes it is too bad we couldn't use the same solution on the libtard hiippie dippie dip shits as they used on the speakers. Thanks to the cowardly hippies millions of people died in SEA at the hands of the communists; but hey if Hitler was still burning Jews, they still would go and fight.

is referring to the estimated number of Viet Cong losses in the Vietnam War per month (perhaps misstating the actual number, which was 3,800)

"Given a Vietnamese population of around 38 million during the war years, Vietnamese casualties represent a good 12-13% of the country. So anyone who thinks that US bosses aren't worse than Hitler is living on an oasis in Disneyland. "

Any man who holds a gun and is ready to kill is as worse as Hitler was. Never mind if he kills one or ten or even hundred others, he's still as worse. And sorry if my english is bad, I'm swedish.

"Any man who holds a gun and is ready to kill is as worse as Hitler was."
Does that apply to the American G.I.'s that died assaulting Fortress Europe? How about the Finnish troops, or the Norwegians, your neighbors?
Something less than 60 years of peace in all of recorded History. It appears to me that your comment is misguided and unrealistic.

Are you stupid or don't you have the ability to read? It applies to any man who holds a gun and is ready to kill, I don't think I could have made it any easier for you to understand. No soldiers, no wars, that's how easy that is.

If you're forced to join the army, forced to hold a gun, and forced to shoot it, what are your options there? Your own death? Don't lie and tell me you'd die for your beliefs because that's crap. THAT'S what this movie is protesting. It's also opinions like yours that helped alienate thousands of soldiers from American society following Vietnam.
goodenoughh 2 years ago
Crap? What gives you the right to call my beliefs crap? I would rather die than shoot somebody. If somebody forced me to hold a gun I would simply let go of it, and if I was forced to shoot it I would simply take the bullets out of it and press the trigger. And as I said, it's not that black and white, if you want to discuss further you can have my email.

Dude, as you are Swedish you just do not know "how it is". You know in Poland we have one joke: "Lets switch with Sweden the places. If Sweden will survive 50 years - we will apologize everybody and we get back to our geo location (between Germany and Russia) but seriously: One solider is more danerous that a sick painter with a power over millions??? c'mon, you should know who should be eliminated first.

No one should be eliminated. That's what I know. And what makes you think that just because I'm swedish I don't know how it is?

1. Ok lets say you have a magic knoledge and you are back to 1939- how would you try to stop Hitler (let me help you - one bullet....)
2. Ok, I made an assumption that as long as you are Swedish and you have probably never smell the powder (except for Nobel) it is easy to say "do not eliminate anybody" - no dude you are WRONG - It is worth to eliminate one in order to save millions. I know you had this in schools but the real world is different. Sorry it is asad truth.
frompolandwithlove 2 years ago 4
1. How would I stop Hitler? I wouldn't, because it would require violence.
2. How can it be worth to eliminate one in order to save millions? If you eliminate one, the elimination will continue.

1. So would you allow himt o kill you?
2. You would not fight for your life?
frompolandwithlove 2 years ago
1. Depending on his reason, maybe.
2. If it would require me to use violence, no. I consider myself to have lived as much as I could have, and if I died I would know that I'd be happy.
jagvillhaensoffa 2 years ago
1. you would be dead by know, do you get it???
2. and thia is what I affraid of most from SWEDEN: I saw your troops on Balkans - newest weapons, big guys - and nobody respected them at all !!!!! having in mind what you said : I would affraid if ever my life would be depended to such soliders!!!! anyway I have to respect your views, nothing more. I wish you more vital energy to live your life - it is the only one you have (except for the after death life in heaven)
frompolandwithlove 2 years ago
1. Death does not scare me, only not living my life scares me.
2. I would be afraid if my life were in anybodys hands but mine. And since I don't believe in afterlife in heaven that's not an option for me.

1. If killling him can save the other???? - lesson learnt - after WWII - no place for hesitation
2. I am not the GOD but we know what is wrong and what is ok (human rights withs all its charters). I do not have to tell to the people anything - everything is right there. It is actually you who may be for or against this rules. If you are against - you should be punished. so what is so complicated????

This song, like most of the songs of Hair were ruined in this movie. Listen to the original Broadway soundtrack or even your local high school's production.
It's sadly ironic that those of the culture and minds that inspired this musical are many of the same ones who are working for the other team 40 years after this musical went on stage.

How bizarre is it that in September, 2008, I am driving around in my car listening to the "Hair" movie musical soundtrack? Just like back in the day when people questioned the government, I am doing so now. For years, I've loved a few of the songs on it, but this being an election year, I felt compelled to buy it. And listening to it, I go thru a range of emotions and ask myself who will be the person to get this country back on track?

3,500 Vietnamese were killed in one month at some point. I think. A general had reported that proudly, and followed by saying it digit by digit. "Three five zero zero". At least, if I remember correctly.
And the US Army is NOT the greatest fighting force in the world. The greatest would be, or at least should be, the people! :3 (Some of which just happen to be in the US Army. Other armies and military organizations, too.)
allmydeadcats 3 years ago
About the 3 - 5 - 0 - 0: Not even the lyric writers (Rado & Ragni) remember the origins of it anymore, they also think it's some body count... but in fact 3500 was the reported number of US Marines in the first contingent deployed in Vietnam, taking the US from "advisors" in the Vietnamese conflict into full-scale war participants.
I know this since I'm about 300 years old and omnipresent. :p
