SOTD for Thursday, June 14, 2012

Suitable for Framing is the second studio album by American rock band Three Dog Night. The album was released on the Dunhill record label on June 11, 1969[1] and was the first of two albums released by the band that year (see 1969 in music).

The album is notable for containing the top 20 hit singles "Easy to Be Hard", "Eli's Coming", and "Celebrate"; the latter of which featured several members of Chicago as the song's horn section. It is also notable for being the first album by Three Dog Night to have songs penned by band members and for the Elton John song "Lady Samantha", which was released a year before the singer became known in the United States.

The album was well received in North America, reaching the top 10 on the main albums charts in Canada and the United States and became certified gold by the RIAA at the end of the year.

Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical is a rock musical with a book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot. A product of the hippie counter-culture and sexual revolution of the 1960s, several of its songs became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War peace movement. The musical's profanity, its depiction of the use of illegal drugs, its treatment of sexuality, its irreverence for the American flag, and its nude scene caused much comment and controversy.[1] The musical broke new ground in musical theatre by defining the genre of "rock musical", using a racially integrated cast, and inviting the audience onstage for a "Be-In" finale.
