• As irony would have it, our long time friend, comic shaman & mentor Tuli Kupferberg was 86ed @86 in the summer of 2010 after suffering a series of strokes the year before, at approximately the same time his classic Fugs CIA Man closed (and made) the Coen brothers wild screwball comedy Burn After Reading. Fortunately for all of us who loved him, the co-founding Fug left behind a large body of work and inspiration. "Don't ever leave your glue stick at home," he used to tell me as we walked the city streets. "There's work to be done."
