[lbo-talk] Tuli benefit

[Doug Henwood]

[It's a damn shame that people have to have their friends raise money  
for them when they're old and blind. It wouldn't be fair to say  
"especially Tuli," but he did some great things (and was an early  
subscriber to LBO). Via Facebook]

Benefit for Tuli Kupferberg
poet, author, pacifist anarchist, Fug
Friday, January 22, 2010
7:30pm - 11:00pm
St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn

Lou Reed, Philip Glass, John Zorn, Sonic Youth and others will play a  
benefit concert for Tuli Kupferberg, the Beat poet and original member  
of the Fugs, at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn on Jan. 22.

Tuli, who recently turned 86, has had two strokes over the last year,  
which have left him blind and the tickets for the concert, which is  
being produced by Hal Willner, will help pay his medical expenses.

Among the others performers are Ed Sanders, Mr. Kupferberg’s fellow  
Fug, Peter Stampfel of the Holy Modal Rounders (who also played on  
early Fugs albums), John Kruth and others who will be announced soon.

Tickets are $75 to $125 and are available at
