Hydrogen Jukebox: Drawing upon Ginsberg's poetry, this music/theater piece is a portrait of America that cover's the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's, seen by the collaborators Glass, Ginsberg and Sirlin. Its content ranges from highly personal poems of Ginsberg to his reflection on social issues: the anti-war movement, the sexual revolution, drugs, eastern philosophy, environmental awareness. The six vocal parts represent six archetypal American characters- a waitress, a policeman, a businessman, a cheerleader, a preist, a mechanic.
