I would really appreciate a Harry Smith revival. He was a great artist and mind on every level. It’s a pleasure to hear Sanders who ain’t no dummy himself remembering and getting excited in the telling. Thanks for posting.

i agree. he sounds very cool

my old heroes at the age of 14, the leader of a kind of catholic boy scout org. played me fugs tapes around 1967, in a very little swiss village where i was born 1953. in 1967!!!!!!!!! nobody had even heard about beatles or rollin stones around my place but i heard the fugs! that was a good start thank you guys

Ed Sanders' brilliant investigative poetry is a major contribution to the 1960's legacy & to 21st century perspective on what exactly counter KULTURE is.

Awesome, learned a lot.

This is real history folks.

This offers some interesting insight to a person I had always heard of, but knew little about... Thanks! As for the Fugs, I remember seeing you and your partners in Peace and thought process provocation many long years ago, have most of the albums, one of yours want your other and Tuli's and have both "Poem From Jail" and "Peace Eye Poems". I learned a lot from your work and am glad to see that you are still at it...

My dad worked at ESP records back in the 60's, back when The Fugs and The Godz were hanging around there too. He has some fun tales of those days. Great video! :)

the new bio on Smith is wonderful

where is it?

the subtitles are a trip in themselves

An American hero of freedom.

The Fugs were my first connection to Harry Smith - us "baby beatniks" (as our older siblings in the art department called us) at the University of Nebraska, sitting in a circle, passing a joint of Nebraska ditchweed around, singing along with "Monday Nothing, Tuesday Nothing, Wednesday a lot more Nothing..."

“...Data squirrel” :)

the closed captioning is quite funny. {eace Love All Ways

put captions on. perfect

I first seen this guy on the firing line with Jack kerouac it was brilliant you can find this on you tube

Is this man okay?

How in the blue hell did Jonny Pissoff know all these intellectuals. Just kidding , I’ve been a fan since 68.

Unfortunate the text scrolling across the bottom of the screen has nothing to do with what Ed is saying .

He looks like he’s from the 19th century or something.

Ed why not reveal your friendship with the CIA and the men who wrote The Family for you.

why? you just did

Now, from the little I know of Smith, it's just as likely he is a professional troll as he is an incompetent loudmouth.

You can watch his films on KZread, you'll see he was anything but incompetent.

In the 1970s, I spent almost every night for 4 years in Harry Smith’s room #731, The Chelsea Hotel. He was a mesmerizing presence whose mystical aura infused all who were privileged to be allowed assembling in his room.
