On Beyond the Pale's monthly music special, we remember Tuli Kupferberg, poet, author, cartoonist, pacifist, anarchist, publisher, jester, co-founder of the 1960s band The Fugs and self-styled "world's oldest rock star," who died July 12, 2010.
More summer reading: We rebroadcast interviews with Yaacob Dweck, the co-translator of Khirbet Khizeh, a 1949 novella about the cleansing of Palestinian village, and with Adina Hoffman, author of My Happiness Bears No Relation to Happiness. Plus we remember Harvey Pekar.
