[Vision2020] This is so not important..

[Tim Lohrmann]

Carl,
   My big brother had a FUGS album.
   I believe it was called: "It Crawled Into My Hand,
Honest."
   There was only one song that I remember from when
he played it though, it was: "Johnny Piss-Off Vs. the
Red Angel."
   I never "got" what was up with them, but still
thought they were cool at the time.
   Of course later on I learned that Alan Ginsberg was
a pedophile. The fact that the Fugs were associated
with him made them seem even sicker, and in a much
worse way, than they wanted to be.
