Beat poet, humanist, political mystic, rock star… Tuli Kupferberg is dead at 86. When writer Carl R. Hultberg, only 16 at the time, first saw Tuli and the Fugs at the Players Theatre on MacDougal Street in the Village in 1966, his reaction was: “Despite all my waspy-whitebread cultural upbringing I fell in love with [him] even though he was probably the ugliest member of the meanest looking group I had ever seen.” Includes videos and graphics of Tuli and The Fugs.
