NOTES

"Fug You" is Ed Sanders's unapologetic and often hilarious account of eight key years of "total assault on the culture," to quote his novelist friend William S. Burroughs. "Fug You" traces the flowering years of New York's downtown bohemia in the sixties, starting with the marketing problems presented by publishing F**k You / A Magazine of the Arts, as it faced the above ground's scrutiny, and leading to Sanders's arrest after a raid on his Peace Eye Bookstore. The memoir also traces the career of the Fugs, formed in 1964 by Sanders and his neighbor, the legendary Tuli Kupferberg (called "the world's oldest living hippie" by Allen Ginsberg) as Sanders strives to find a home for this famous postmodern, innovative anarcho-folk-rock band in the world of record labels
