Ed Sanders, founder of the Fugs, led an exorcism of the White House ... and it may have worked
“In the name of Rosa Parks, Lilith, Mary, Aphrodite, Hera, Rose Pesotta …/ We call upon the malevolent spirits in the White House/ To be banished and exorcised! Out, demons, out!!!” Sanders chants over the drone and the pounding rhythm rising up from his bandmates as his white hair bobs in the porta-potty wind.
“People were always saying, ‘Why don’t The Fugs do something about Trump?” he says after the performance, still standing on the steps of Lincoln Memorial. “We decided to exorcise the White House, because it’s not so much Trump as these real creepy people he’s put into power. So in the exorcism I list all the secretaries and the people he’s put in power.”
The song, he says, premiered earlier this year at Cooper Union in New York, where Sanders stood behind the same lectern that Abraham Lincoln used to deliver his “House Divided” speech in 1860
