Scope and Contents
From the dust jacket cover: "An informal history of the Peace Eye Bookstore, the Fuck You Press, the Fugs, and Counterculture in the Lower East Side."Amazon.com: Fug You traces the flowering years of New York's downtown bohemia in the sixties, starting with the marketing problems presented by publishing Fuck You / A Magazine of the Arts, as it faced the aboveground'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 labelsPrague Post: "This inspiring, enlightening book is a compendium of 1960s American culture enlivened by hilarious stories, unbelievable adventures and, surprisingly, more than a tab of humility"¦It is rare that a memoir of the 1960s captures not only the sense of excitement and infinite possibility of those halcyon days, but also the later, sober reassessment"¦One soon comes to realize Sanders' story is, in a way, the nation's story, as well. This is an invaluable publication for fans of Sanders and The Fugs, children of the '60s or anyone who wants to get a better sense of that legendary decade from one of the people who contributed to its genius, genial anarchy." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
