...Fugs positively reek of "redeeming social importance." While their lyrics can be brutally sharp--"Kill for Peace" is a savage attack on the Vietnam war--their message is one of love. Writes Ginsberg, the funniest of the hippie saints, "Birchites are lacklove, Republicans and Democrats too are lacklove, Communists lack love, Narco, fuzz and White South Governors lack love.

...Forum plenty of sight-gags and a Burlesque flavor, the two prerequisites for getting boffs. But you laugh hardest when the pace is fastest, and it moves like the Marx Brothers whenever Steve Kaplan, Arthur Friedman, Robert Bush, (or any combination of them), are on stage.
