'The Fugs on Drugs' as 'The Fugs on Drugs': a Fug-clip from "Chappaqua" (1966)

Check out this clip from the Conrad Rooks' cult classic “Chappaqua” (1966). It features The Fugs in all their perverted glory. Allen Ginsburg, William S. Burroughs, Peter Orlovsky, Ravi Shankar, and Ornette Coleman also guest star in the film.

Yeh. The Hippies Failed? Man, they seemed like such a sure bet.

The Revolution will be mimeographed: Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts

In 1962, Fug-Man Ed Sanders founded Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts. With his credo: "I'll print anything," Sanders produced thirteen mimeographed issues of the legendary journal- publishing work by Tuli Kupferberg, Charles Olson, Philip Whalen, Allen Ginsberg, Frank O'Hara, Julian Beck, Herbert Huncke, Gary Snyder, Diane DiPrima, William Burroughs, Leroi Jones (AKA Amiri Baraka), Robert Creeley, Ted Berrigan, Joe Brainard, and Andy Warhol.
Police eventually raided the Fug/ Fuck You HQ: Peace Eye Bookstore, charging Sanders with obscenity. Notoriety generated by the case led to his face on the cover of Life Magazine (February 17, 1967), which proclaimed Sanders "a leader of New York's Other Culture."

Fug Sanders' 1968 POETRY BOOK OF THE YEAR & other "PRAISE" by Bob Holman

“And now, with the deaths of Ginsberg, Burroughs, Huncke,

 I open up the pages of the new Sanders book of poetry, 1968: A History in Verse…

In 1968 rock and politics shared the air, and Ed’s playful, incisive language serves as time machine: if you were there (1968 as Place), it will cause you to resurrect that other world; if you weren’t, you’ll never believe that that year was squeezed into a year..."  

-Bob Holman on 1968: A History in Verse* by Ed Sanders

BORN IN A KOSHER MEAT STORE: THE FUgS STORY.

On a cold December day, in converted Kosher meat store, in 1964, Ed Sanders, editor of the infamous Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts, and Tuli Kupferberg, Allen Ginsberg’s favorite fatalist, formed The Fugs. The band earned immediate notoriety (and F.B.I. files!) for lewd performances rife with political satire.
In 1965, the band released their first album, The Village Fugs, and headed out on a tour in protest of the Vietnam War- performing “War Kills Babies” and “Kill For Peace” alongside such counterculture greats as Frank Zappa, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Jefferson Airplane.

That was only the first year! The next 44 are even crazier!- including a Life Magazine cover, a letter bomb, a Grammy, J. Edgar Hoover, and Thurston Moore (seriously dudes).
