Re: The Fugs

I don't know how this got started and what the Fugs had to do with Garage 
Punk Unknowns but they were pretty punk (especially if you DON"T like 
them, cuz I don't think they cared at the time). I never really thought of 
them as hippy so much as just, well if you wanna give 'em a label I'd say 
throw them in with label mates The Godz as "da-da" punk/rock/noise. 
Anyway, I Tuli Kupferberg and crew were always more dirctly associated 
with the beat scene then any "hippie" movement, and I think alot more 
subversive. They certainly did a pretty good job of mocking society as 
opposed to say Country Joe and the Fish. Remember, you have to put them 
in context. That was 65, this is 99.
