Mr. Kink ...

... Ray Davies Talks About Coming Shows and Albums - WSJ.com. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I thought the reference in this piece to The Fugs as a garage band rather odd. One of its co-founders (along with the late Tuli Kupferberg) was Ed Sanders, whom I first knew in college. St. Joe's literary magazine actually subscribed to Sanders's mimeographed magazine Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts. The Fugs started, I think, around 1964, long before the term "garage band" came into use.
