One of my favorite videos of all time is of a 1969 TV performance of Hair by the Cowsills, an unlikely yet wildly successful pairing of song and performers brought about by none other than Carl Reiner.
At one notable moment, as the Cowsills are describing, in song, all the many varieties of long hair styling, there is a brief shot of little Susan Cowsill, who was around nine years old at the time, adding one more. She pipes up brightly “And spaghetti!”
To me, as a young child, this was the epitome of coolness. In one of the most wonderful production numbers ever on national television, a little kid gets to have the most wonderful moment.
And she is clearly having the time of her life. On behalf of all former little kids everywhere, I would just like to thank her for that awesome memory.
