The Fugs were an anomaly of one. They didn't personally get involved in shoot-outs, murder, etc. The gangsta rap guys are all over the place. A lot of them are dead at a young age. Many are in jail. Locally, C-Murder got convicted of, you guessed it, murder. The only deaths during our salad days were self-inflicted, i.e., J. Hendrix, Janis Joplin, J. Morrison. The difference between The Fugs and the ganstas is the difference between night and day. The Fugs did not influence overall popular culture. The same is not true of the gangstas. I don't know if the fashion of wearing trousers low on the hips, exposing just about everything, is a local or a national thing. Its origin lies in the fact that prisoners are not allowed to have belts. Consequently, their pants drop. The kids on the street mimic this because they think of going to prison as conferring status. Going to prison was never a Sixties status badge.
