Pekar was only 70. I hope someone plays Hava Nagila on the banjo at his funeral:
In 1945, long before the Fugs, Tuli Kupferberg tried to commit suicide by jumping off the Manhattan Bridge. He fell into the East River, swam ashore, walked home, and spent another 65 years making poetry, music and revolution.
Too soon for both of them.
Life is precious. Life is short.
