You are so truly welcome! That's exactly what our amazing Revolving Roof Top Lounge is all about! Bringing in the joy that we truly all need in our lives, in our hearts, and in our relationships and connections with others and having fun big time!
Your post and gratitude fills my heart with pure joy. Plus laughter brings such joy! Just imagining your mom seeing an unexpected entirely nude cast of "Hair" performing on stage makes me laugh out loud.
Remembering my own experiences of entire nude families out on the lawns in my late '60s early '70s days coming from an island in Alaska to a "whole new world" in the lower 48 brought many eye openers as well as blushes back to memory! Hahahahaha!
Oh my ???????
This whole thread is bringing me such joy! @Michele-b ... my mom, bio dad, and daddy were all hippie-adjacent back in the day, and your post about the haircuts, the Age of Aquarius, etc, took me right back to my childhood! I felt such a warm jolt of nostalgia, and may have to pull out the cast recording of "Hair" and stick in on the record player! My mom saw it on stage in Chicago when it was the hit of the day, and she had no idea they all got naked on stage. She still blushes and laughs when she tells the story. She sang those songs all through my childhood ... they were my lullabies. Thank you for giving me that little "moment" today ?
Echoes.... (How far we have been catapulted... ?)....
From CSNY " DEJA VU "
"Almost cut my hair...
Happened just the other day...
it's gettin' kinda long...
But I didn't, and I wonder why ..
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it to someone, yeah ...
Must be 'cos I had the flu this Christmas,
And I'm not feeling up to par, and it increases my paranoia,
Like looking in my mirror, and seeing a ... POHlice car ...
But I'm not, I'm not giving in an inch to fear
' Cos I've promised myself this year ...
I feel oh, like I owe it to someone
When I finally get myself together ...
I'm gonna get down in that sunny southern weather, yeah ...
I'm going to find a space inside a laugh, yes ...
Separate the wheat from the chaff ....
I feel like, I owe it to someone, yeah ....someone "
(How far we have been catapulted ... ?...through time and space!)
Always loved Crosby,Stills and Nash, and this particular time was absolutely the very best of them ..."CSN"1969 (Suite:Judy Blue Eyes, Guinnevere, Wooden Ships)
Neil Young joined them after and in 1970 they released "Deja Vu"... it's all tooo much man! ;)
It was a very good year...for rocknroll, amongst other things... ?️???
Time ?️, and?, and...?....
Such a lovely, positive thread! I never cut anyone's hair, but I was (still am in much philosophy) a hippie those last years of the sixties and through the seventies. In more recent life, my late husband used to go up on our roof to sleep during Tucson's hot summer nights...even tho it was cooler in the house ? he liked the fresh rather than the A/C air and having the stars above him.
Ahh ... I'm up on the rooftop now jus' drinking in the starlight and blissfully breathing in that cool night air ?
Wishing everyone peace and golden slumbers...
My all time favorite band. Have seen them or different groupings of them many, many times> :)
p.s. I have super looooonnnnng quarantine hair now...
Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!
just remember...
Mondays were made for Squares-
Square Dancing, that is!
S[q]uare Dance] Mondays, @ the Revolving Rooftop Lounge
Does this mean that the rooftop is square and not round ?? I just can't get into the quantum physics of doing a [square] dance on a round revolving rooftop... the centrifuge?
And I suppose this means that you are now cattywampus....

I love our rooftop restaurant. I use to wait on tables at a Howard Johnson's restaurant when I was a teen. I wore one of those turquoise and white uniforms. It was just like the restaurant in this Anna Kendrick skit. Someone would put on the jukebox and the whole place came alive.
@jeanne-mayell, This is great! I can just picture you as this cute teen, with your beautiful smile, in that HJ uniform. I never waitressed -- I would have been a disaster balancing all of those trays of food.
