“My memory of HAiR, was that I belonged to an incredible show; however, most of you know, we were being watched in las vegas. we had drunks in the theatre and we had fights in the front of the theatre. we had armed police (swat teams) surrounding the sides, inside the theatre. yet, we were supposed to go on, like nothing was happening…” lyle k’ang

_____________________________
I know you remember many stories and the details!

The authors are Lyle K’ang and Julie Winn-McKay.

We are on the finale stages of our book, which I started about 20 years ago.

I could not finish it until I called out for help on Michael Butler’s Blog – Julie answered and she said, she was willing to help, but only if we finished it!

Together in different cities, she in Las Vegas and I in Yakima, and by using the Internet, we have worked for a year and a half to finally see the end goal.

This book will be ready for the publishers very soon and we need your comments. This is not any body’s comments – it is yours, the one and only,

Pakalolo Tribe in Las Vegas – that’s it!!

[ Feel free to talk about anything that comes to mind. We will respect
your wish to keep certain information confidential or ‘off the record’ if

that is your choice. Once, however, this interview is finished and recorded,

please don’t ask for other censoring of your answers (((except in very

special circumstances)))))

[ If you have a brainstorm later and want to add something to your
answers, call anytime (TOLL FREE: 866 888-9668)

[Â Yes, we welcome your submission of any photographs or other materials.
If they are used, you will be credited

[ Yes, Yes, Yes. Any leads to other potential interview subjects are welcome ((cast, crew, musicians, management, fans))

talk or write a little about the first time you saw HAiR:

. . . .when and where?

did you know anything about the show before seeing it?

. . .if YES was the show what you expected?

do you remember a character, song or situation that made you strongly . . JOYFUL/HOPEFUL, SAD, ANGRY, PEACEFUL, EMBARRASSED (OTHER)?

did you relate to what was happening on stage?

The the first time you saw HAiR were you shocked, outraged or encouraged by: Draft card burning / the ‘treatment’ of the American flag/ racial and gender references and-or stereotyping/ the use of the word ‘fuck’ and other strong language / the pro sex, free love and drug messages/ the show’s obvious statement(s) against the Vietnam War, LBJ. Tricky Dick etc,/ the nude scene / what happens to Claude at the end ???/ what the audience was or was not reacting to. . . anything else???

Did you go onto the stage at the end?

What thoughts did you have – if any – in the days after first seeing the show?

Did HAiR in change your life or the lives of anyone you know?

((if a cast member))….why did you audition?

Did you feel that you were spreading a positive message about peace and love when you were on stage? Offstage?

Was it difficult for you to contend with the show’s side show?. . .(i.e. constant in-your-face police presence and surveillance, drunk and/or rude audience members, deliberate acts of violence against cast or family / general comments and reactions from people who had not seen the HAiR..or from those who had/ the toll it took on voice and body (and extraordinary risk pay [$14 a week???],being away from family, friends & home/ the stark differences between Hawai’i and Las Vegas [[for Pakalolo Tribe members]]/ other????)

This is a final request for your input – we need you!!!!
Do not put this off!

We thank you for your consideration and we look forward to your heartfelt additions.

Keep In Touch !!!
