Thread Name: Aquarius (songs from the Musical 'Hair')
Subject: RE: Aquarius
I see disco dancing in local bars. My boss's daughter asked for a lava lamp for Christmas. A twenty year old bartender in a pub I frequent told me that the 1975 Kiss World Tour tee-shirt was a collector's item, and worth money. (My mother had thrown it away years ago, it turned out.) I see twenty-somethings wearing platform shoes, although the new ones seem to have better grips on the soles than did the originals. Yesterday I read a glowing review of the Poseidon Adventure, and how it was the ur movie that started a whole movie genre. New groups have put out a CD covering the Carpenters. What's next? Pong? Four inch wide ties? Polyester leisure suits? A Chico And The Man retrospective?

My message to the younger people is leave it alone. You don't know what a vile bog of bad taste you are seeking to revive. Please God, don't let those clothes and those hairstyles come back into fasion!:)
