Double Feature!

Hippy (hip' i) n. 1. an unkempt, filthy degenerate, usually a youth, circa 1960's, distinguished chiefly by absurdly long hair, junk store clothing, an aversion to work and bathing, a predeliction for drugs of all kinds and a love for rock 'n' roll particularly as performed by dead musicians. 2. adj. having rolls of fat in the buttocks region.
Remembbr the hippies? (You should —they founded this magazine.) Well, they're back, celebrated in Hair, a new film musical based on one of the Broadway hits of the 60's. Remember the 60's? Nixon, Vietnam, Lee Harvey Oswald? It was in all the papers.
The movie Hair is directed by Milos /Forman, who last gave us One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. In that one, Jack Nicholson underwent a lobectomy.. (I rooted for the nurses myself.) It was supposed to be a big deal. But what's so bad about a lobotomy? It hasn't hurt Lou Reed's career that much.
Hair takes a cast of unknowns and plunges them into a far-fetched tale of love, war, sex, rock and drugs—all the things that make life worth liying.
