No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: West Virginia Snake Handler Revival.

It was a cheap structure almost on the order of a mobile home, but much larger inside than it had seemed. A wide hallway went either way out of a foyer where scores of people stood around without having to crowd. A sense of offices, meeting rooms, classrooms down institutional corridors. Directly ahead, double doors opened onto a chamber big enough, from what I could see, to accommodate hundreds. I thought I glimpsed church pews. Folks were wandering inside there to sit. I spotted Flower easily among all the farmers and the farmers’ wives. She stood by the double doors in her black-and-white pantsuit, maybe a bit harlequinesque but very stylish and expensive looking, talking in sign language with a young boy about sixteen. He must have been a deaf boy. I was fascinated. Without voices to help them they used whatever they had, both their faces animated, exploding with emotion, while the quick lively gestures shot down their arms and out their fingers; they worked at it like silent-film actors. And suddenly, reminded of the old silent films, I was struck with an understanding of the empty peace the boy inhabited.

People think I don’t put effort in my playing, but there’s a lot of effort in what I’m delivering. And if they can hear it, they know what is happening there. Forget about this fight you want to put on the drums. Don’t fight the drums, just deliver cooly. I don’t like using force to play the drums, because I know when I have to hit them hard. I know when I want something to be stronger…the flow of Afrobeat has to enter the audience easily. If you don’t catch them quickly with this feel, they might just be standing there and looking at you.

Pictured: The Fugs (l. to r.: Tuli Kupferberg, Ken Weaver, Ed Sanders).

For that first afternoon Folkways session in April 1965 at Cue Recording on West Forty-sixth Street, The Fugs consisted of me, Tuli, Ken Weaver (on conga drum), Steve Weber (on guitar), and Peter Stampfel (on fiddle). I had prepared a sequence of twenty-two songs, in a certain order, and we recorded them in one long flow, then recorded them a second time. Steve and Peter also recorded some of their Holy Modal Rounder tunes during the session.

At first we set up our positions—but seemed uncertain on how to proceed. “Just get going,” [producer] Harry Smith commanded from the control booth, and so we did just that. We arrayed ourselves in front of microphones and began recording the sequence of twenty-two.

In the middle of the session a guy from Folkways showed up with a contract and modest cash for each player. The contract was for “The Fugs Jug Band.” I scratched out the words “Jug Band” on the contract.

Harry, as far as I know, received no financial reward for the recording. He asked for a bottle of rum, which I bought. During the session, I think perhaps to spur us to greater motivity and energy, he came in from the recording booth to the room where we were singing and smashed the bottle of rum against the wall.

Pictured: Eddie Hazel.

What did it mean to taste the maggots in the mind of the universe? Well, it meant all of it: the lack of self-knowledge outlined in “Free Your Mind,” the consumerism and short-sightedness in “Eulogy and Light.” It was writing that moved away from prose and even poetry into a kind of sloganeering. That made it compact, mysterious, and memorable. But [“Maggot Brain”]’s immortality came from Eddie Hazel’s guitar solo, which occupied most of the rest of the ten-minute track. I remember recording the solo, of course. It’s possible I’ll never forget. Eddie and I were in the studio, tripping like crazy but also trying to focus our emotions. There was a band jam going, a slow groove I knew he could get into, and we were trying to launch his solo. Before he started, I told him to play like his mother had died, to picture that day, what he would feel, how he would make sense of his life, how he would take a measure of everything that was inside him and let it out through his guitar. Eddie was the kind of player who rose to a challenge. If you gave him instructions or a prompt, he’d come around to it. And when he started playing, I knew immediately that he understood what I meant. I could see the guitar notes stretching out like a silver web. When we played the solo back, I knew that it was good beyond good, not only a virtuoso display of musicianship but also an almost unprecedented moment of emotion in pop music. That was the missing ingredient that arrived in time for that song; it was maybe the first time that our emotional ability as artists matched our technical ability as players.

Her hand, which up till then had laid on the back of the sofa, she now placed on her knee. I stared vacantly at her fingers tracing the plaid pattern of her skirt There was something mysterious about it, as if invisible thread emanating from her fingertips spun together an entirely new concept of time. I closed my eyes, and in the darkness, whirlpools flashed before me. Countless whirlpools were born and disappeared without a sound. Off in the distance, Nat King Cole was singing “South of the Border.” The song was about Mexico, but at the time I had no idea. The words “south of the border” had a strangely appealing ring to them. I was convinced something utterly wonderful lay south of the border. When I opened my eyes, Shimamoto was still moving her fingers along her skirt. Somewhere deep inside my body I felt an exquisitely sweet ache.

‘We were extremely angry young men, and it was a way of getting it out. We lived in Northern Ireland and the option was to go and join the IRA. It was an option that lots of friends of ours took. I didn’t want to join up, out of simple fear. The Undertones was a way of getting out of that situation. People used to ask early on why we didn’t write songs about the troubles: we were doing our best to escape from it.’

In one of the few books available in the UK on Indian Music, R. & J. Massey devote just two pages to the sounds [Bollywood film music] listened to by the majority of Indians, talking angrily of the effect “this facile orchestration, these plagiarized melodies from foreign sources, and the mixture of native and alien instruments…have on the musical sensibility of the Indian people. This orchestrated mush has been blaring away in thousands of villages for over a generation and has now started to influence the folk music of the peasants. This music stems from the very soul of the people, and it would be a gigantic tragedy of the concoctions of the smart musicians in the Bombay studios were to injure so rich a tradition.”

One passion and one only, woman, might have arrested him in this universal disdain that was rising within him; but this too was exhausted. He had tasted the sweets of the flesh with the appetite of a sick man, an invalid debilitated and full of whimsies, whose palate quickly loses savour. In the days when he had consorted with the coarse and carnal-minded men of pleasure, he had participated like the rest in some of those unconventional supper parties where tipsy women bare their bosoms at dessert and beat the table with dishevelled heads; he had been a visitor likewise behind the scenes, had had relations with actresses and popular singers, had endured, added to the natural and innate folly of the sex, the frantic vanity of women of the stage; then he had kept mistresses already famous for their gallantry and contributed to swell the exchequer of those agencies that supply, for a price, highly dubious gratifications; last of all, sick and satiated with this pretence of pleasure, of these stale caresses that are all alike, he had plunged into the nether depths, hoping to revive his flagging passions by sheer force of contrast, thinking to stimulate his exhausted senses by the very foulness of the filth and beastliness of lowbred vice.

The naysayers that first night at the Zenda were dancers who had experienced the Palladium. They were unimpressed by the shuffle-steps of the largely Mexican-American crowd; with their pegged trousers and zoot-length coats, the guys looked nothing like New Yorkers. Which points to an interesting divide: most of Prado’s fans were linked to those western parts of the Spanish Empire which had imported comparatively few African slaves and where ‘Indio’ culture remained strong. Cuban and Puerto Rican stars ruled North American cities where immigrants from the Caribbean basin and its slave-built economies lived. One can also speculate whether cocaine, the drug of choice on the Pacific slopes of the inter-American mountain chain, may have fuelled [Pérez] Prado’s nervous, hyper-energetic style, in contrast to the sensual, rum-soaked vibe of most Cuban music. Prado sold millions of records, topping the US charts with ‘Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White’ and helping create a dance craze that drove thousands onto dancefloors across America. But east of that other geological divide, the Allegheny Mountains, the music and the dancing were of a completely different order. New York never embraced Pérez Prado.
