I awoke early in the morning and turned on the telly.
The 1979 film, Hair was on and I immediately disliked what I saw.
The character, Claude, was the main player in the film?
What I saw was George, he seemed to be the main player, and I took a dislike to him from the start.
He seemed to me a bully who was manipulating Claude, and because of that Claude was a greatly diminished person.
I could not watch this film to the end as it was cringe.
I am sure I would never have joined the Hippie class if I was around at the time.

I just about remember the hippie era. I was quite little at the time. But everything on telly and in the younger population in the early 70s was kind of hippie. The hair, the fashions, the slogans, the center partings, the beards and kaftans… seems as though most of the same things are fashionable now. What’s with all these bell bottom trousers?!
I’d say I preferred glam rock and all that. David Bowie singing Starman on top of the pops is one of my early (happy) memories
