The Hangar Theater (which is as glamorous and luxurious as its name implies) will be home to my personal favorite anti-war, hippie, counter-culture musical named after a filamentous outgrowth of dead cells: HAIR!  (I found the "fila-whatever" bit from Wikipedia, too.  After all, it is the best place for research, or so the Wikipedia entry of "Wikipedia" told me.)

Am I the only one who finds this material a bit out there, even for Ithaca standards?  I mean, subversion?  Irreverence?  Burning draft cards?  Burning baseball cards? (Admittedly, this one is more of my own act of defiance against my older brothers than it has to do with the musical.)  I just don't know anymore.  What I do know is that Hair gave us the song "Aquarius" ("When the moon is in the seventh house...") which always makes me and everyone else around the commune's bonfire smile from ear to homemade-macaroni-earring-wearing ear.

PS:  This post's title made me think of what people from Ithaca are actually called.  Ithacanians?  Ithacans?  Ithacaliens?  Ithicai?  Rupert?  I think that's it, actually; Rupert.  Yeah, definitely Rupert.
