An abridged and church-friendly version of the nihilist classic from the Fugs First Album Nothing,omitting "Fucking nothing, sucking nothing" which Tuli said were Ed's lines, as he would never put down sex. It mentions "Star Wars" as it did in the 80's. Performers are Ed Sanders, Steve Taylor, Scott Petito, and Coby Batty, as Tuli looks on from a photo in the background, his remains in the fine mahogany coffin before the stage. From a memorial for Tuli, deceased July 12, 2010, performed at Saint Marks Church in the Bouwerie, July 17, 2010
The whole Fugs set can be found on Vimeo with better audio and video quality here:

My reaction to the title was: Tuli Kupferberg is not dead, he's very much alive.
Sad that I should find out through this video. He was a great person, I have a lot of respect for him.
