We have that Fugs album - I think we have four, the first three and maybe the live album. We definitely have the one with "Saran Wrap." They're funny.

I am a big fan of so-called "black music" or "Devil's music" going back to the 19th century, starting with ragtime, through blues (especially blues), rhythm & blues, jazz, rock, soul, Motown, etc. I even like a little bit of rap, e.g., the Beasty Boys (but they're white).
