Looking 4 Galt


LOOKIN4GALT by Gasface

Hair is the most popular Musical of all time.
It has been translated in every language and staged all over the world, generating pyramids of arab money.
Its composer lives an intensely private life somewhere in New York.
He never gave any interview and seem to ignore the cult going on about him.
His name? Galt MacDermot. Our mission? "Lookin4Galt" .

Great documentary! It reminds me of "Searching for Sugar Man". Now I see where all the "Talkin' Jazz" footage is from. They did a good working with a minimal budget/story. I was surprised Statik Selektah hadn't heard of Galt.

In the Lord Finesse video he said JuJu from the Beatnuts took him to Galts house (actually he said Golf's house) i demand the truth!!

Much like the "Sugar Man" documentary, turns out Galt wasn't actually hiding.

I think Gasface was having more fun with this than he lets on. Again, like "Sugar Man", the documentary isn't really about Galt, but about people's perceptions and feelings about him.
