Complete with angry parents grabbing their kids and walking out during the nude scene.

I was hardly old enough to be a fan, but our parents never censored us in anything, and so I had the original cast recording, the book, and the above-mentioned album, which had songs that didn't make the first album or had been cut from the show (IIRC, it was constantly evolving), when I was barely out of grade school. I did a slide show on pollution for a junior high school assembly, and the song that I played with it was "Air".

I now have the CD, which has a couple of disinHAIRited songs on it. When the show finally hit Detroit, my grandmother took me. Meat Loaf was in it.

if I put it on my turntable while cleaning it takes me twice as long since I can't stop myself from dancing but who wants to stop? I turn it over and play it again.
