Ginsberg at Ed Sanders’ Peace Eye Bookstore, East 10th Street between Ave B & Ave C, New York City, June 1966. According to Bill Morgan, the bookstore became a kind of second office for Allen in 1964, and by the end of 1964 he and Ed Sanders held the first LeMar (Legalize Marijuana) meetings there.

The Fugs were a band founded in early 1965 who tried to spread a "Non-Violent Revolution" and were long active in the anti-war movement. The band also made many appearances with Allen Ginsberg during Woodstock Festivals in the past. Their album art released on February 23, 2010 featured a snail reading Ginsberg's poem "Howl". Ed Sanders, who was a longtime member of the band The Fugs (also known as the bridge between the Beat and Hippie generations) founded Peace Eye Bookstore in 1962 at the Lower East Side which quickly became a gathering place for bohemians, radicals, and writers.
