HOTEL CONCIERGE REJECTS THE HAIR OF
THE "HAIR" AUTHORS
 
Musical Stars Not Allowed to Spend the Night in Hotel Amba

Richard Sussmeier dislikes gypsies.  When 2 longhaired men (who, by the way, had made a reservation from the airport) arrived in the lobby with a dozen suitcases, the Bavarian became very sour.
 
Upon being ordered to leave the hotel, Gerome became very disturbed and had to lie down on the leather sofa to calm his broken nerves.
 
James said this gave him a very poor first image of Munich.  He said: "I am very sad about this.  It doesn't disturb me when other people have short hair."
