“To me, tragedy is if I’ll cut my finger. That’s tragedy. … And to me, comedy is if you walk into an open sewer and die.”

“Busking was a means of survival for Dietrich in the 1970s. She and her late first husband Joel Dunsany—who went by the stage name The Cosmic Man—were draft-card-burners who went underground, obscuring their identities, cutting ties to family, and hitchhiking to different cities. Panhandling and busking was their only path toward income.”

“The Monks may be the strangest group ever to take form. Five American ex-servicemen stationed in Germany in the sixties, all dressed in black with heads shaved like monks. This was radical stuff for Germany 1965-66. Coupled with their violent, near-insane music it’s beyond radical for ’66, ’76 or even ’96.”
