Phil Fulks wasted most of his life convincing others to buy shit he himself hated, or, at least, cared very little about. "Inauthentic" was what he called it after a few beers at the Doghead Tavern. Then he'd laugh, order another round, and get up the next morning and do it all over again.
In 1987, Phil Fulks sold more solar pool covers than any other salesman in the San Fernando Valley before he drove his Nissan 280 Z off Mulholland Drive.
