[Mb-hair] FW: Variety.com - Hair

[Michael Butler]

You really want to get me in trouble with Variety. You should know what you
are writing about. Last night was the official opening. Several Hair people
were there. Variety was just kind enough to send me a copy directly.
Another case of your offending people.
Think before you write.
