Coca-Cola Douche

(Find me at 50 Watts Books.)






Jonathan Rosenbaum's memory of a Fugs concert, discovered in his essay for Criterion's WR: Mysteries of the Organism DVD:

[Tuli] Kupferberg and fellow poet Ed Sanders headed a New York rock band called the Fugs, one of whose tart songs, "Kill for Peace," we hear while Kupferberg appears in army fatigues and helmet, with a machine gun, on a street near Lincoln Center. I have a cherished memory of this quintessential sixties group performing "Coca-Cola Douche" at a free concert in the Lower East Side's Tompkins Square Park, with elderly Poles and Ukrainians composing the bulk of their appreciative audience.

This makes me very happy.
