Claude, Berger & Sheila at some point

Berger: Sheila, I love you.

Sheila: I...I...

Claude: But Sheila, I also love you.

Berger: But now two of us love you. Who will you choose?

Sheila:

Sheila: Why don't we all just...fuck each other?

Claude:

Berger:

Sheila: Y'know, just...one big fuck pile?

Claude: Eh, okay.

Berger: Sounds good to me.

Sheila: Okay.

And so, Bergowskeila was born!

So, my birthday was two days ago (happy birthday to me), and for it I got a HAIR program (because my parents know I’m crazy for HAIR). It’s a tour program and it looks AWESOME. I wanted to show it off, so here are a couple pages from it.

A photo of the 1968 Belgrade cast of HAIR in (former) Yugoslavia.

This was the first Hair to be produced in a communist country. The show, translated into Serbian, was directed by female producer-director Mira Trailović at the Atelje 212 theatre. It featured Dragan Nikolić, Branko Milićević, Seka Sablić and Dušan Prelević. Over four years, the production received 250 performances and was attended by president Tito. Local references in the script included barbs aimed at Mao Zedong as well as Albania, Yugoslavia’s traditional rival.

The lyrics for “Donna” because I’m in study hall right now and I’m trying to dodge doing homework.

Once upon a looking-for-Donna time There was a sixteen-year-old virgin Oh, Donna, oh oh, Donna, oh oh oh Looking for my Donna

I just got back from looking for Donna San Francisco psychedelic urchin Oh, Donna, oh oh, Donna, oh oh oh Looking for my Donna

Have you seen My sixteen-year-old tattooed woman? Heard a story She got busted for her beauty Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh

Once upon a looking-for-Donna San Francisco, never end my searchin’ Oh, Donna, oh oh, Donna, oh oh oh Looking for my Donna

I’ve been to India and saw the yogi light In South America, the Indian smoke glows bright I’m reincarnated and so are we all And in this lifetime, we’ll riiiiiiiiiise Before we fall (Before we fall)

Once upon a looking-for-Donna San Francisco, never end my searchin’ Oh, Donna, oh oh, Donna, oh oh oh Looking for my Donna

And I’m gonna show her life on earth can be sweet Gonna lay my mutated head at her feet And I’m gonna love her, make love to her ‘till the sky turns brown I’m evolving, I’m evolving through the druuuuuuuuuugs That you put down (That you put down)

Once upon a looking-for-Donna time There was a sixteen-year-old virgin Oh, Donna, oh oh, Donna, oh oh oh Looking for my Donna Looking for my Donna Looking for my Donna

DOOOOONNNAAAAAAAAAA!!!
