  • This was a one shot event. The idea was to assemble people who had participated in the chronicles of rock&roll in New York and tell their stories. It took place on a Sunday afternoon at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC and although it was feared that there wouldn't be an audience patient enough to listen to hours and hours of "oral history" it worked a wonder. It was videotaped and will eventually appear on a website dedicated to the subject.

  • was that giorgio gomelski at the top there?

  • Alas, yes, a journalist pal had promised to

    introduce Tuli at this early Sunday afternoon event, but he didn't show up till much later -

    probably nursing a hangover - so yours truly

    had to jump in. Sort of embarrassing if you're not keen on public speaking :-(! Sorry.

  • Tuli is pure genius. 84 years old and still relevant. He may be Jesus.

  • Fugs were one of the original smart bands. Loved 'em.

  • Shit. He died. Watch him doing his dance on the youtube video of the Fugs doing Crystal Liason from 1967. He is hilarious and the song is fantastic.

    Gonna miss that man so much. They broke the mold.

  • may he rest in peace

  • rest in peace Tuli.

  • RIP Tuli. you will definately be missed.

  • Tuli was an old man when he died, but still active, and he will be missed.

  • Tuli is (as of July 2010) in the hospital struggling to recover after a massive stroke.

  • @blearyeyed09 -- i just remembered the WBAI website archives it's shows so anybody that wants to can go there and listen to past shows meaning the show your talking about should be in the archive. Just give them some time to get it archived.

  • @blearyeyed09 --I hope that doesn't mean he died

  • @tom6612

    Many of his songs were performed on Radio Unnammable two nights ago!
