About

(Sights and sounds of the lower East Side rain forest.) This film captures a bit of their environment, which includes the lower East Side, the Waldorf Astoria, the MacDougal Street scene, police harassment, show biz, humanity, their audiences and the film-maker. –E. E. "(The Fugs) embody the earthy individuality of the American Frontier, the bawdy excitement of Elizabethan England and the creative fecundity of the Renaissance." -Status Magazine
