    what a boring capsule summary of the Fugs. Typical academic rehash of real art. Why don’t you go out and talk to these guys (most are still around)!

    Oh, brother. First, I don’t buy the tired division between “real” art and criticism. How douchey-Diesel is that? Second, if you’re that bothered by it, go out and do your interviews, write up two paragraphs, and post them here in the comments. We’ll let readers decide who did it better. That said, I’m not convinced by the assumption that interviews with the “real” artists would make for something more enlightening, unless the aim’s just to fetishize the “real” artists.
