‘Rasta don’t need to get involved with politics, there is a higher reckoning than any Prime Minister, but we were living in a serious time back then. The system didn’t care for us, it was telling us to fight against ourselves, fight against each other, and be covetous and stupid, so instead of trying to get something from the system you had to try and take something from yourself. It prove you should really go to the illiterate place and learn to get civilized because the people there ‘ave no reason not to be straight with you. And those people is the same ghetto people who ‘ave to teach the yout’ around them, because nobody else is gonna do it. It’s we the deejay, the singers and the Rastas who tell them you mustn’t skylark and all them t’ings because you gonna go to jail where people will take steps with you. We tell the people that they have to live right so there is no reason for them to go to court, and if they don’t go to court they can’t go to jail. We tell them to try and keep their families together.

‘Of course the forces is there, the forces that didn’t want that to go on. They don’t want people to be anything other than stupid, but we can’t let that happen. That’s why the music was made that way then, because instead of just to praise Jah it had other work to do. We knew we held the power.’

— Big Youth, as quoted in Lloyd Bradley’s Bass Culture: When Reggae Was King.

Pictured: Françoise Hardy.

As it was readied for release, [Nick Drake producer Joe Boyd’s company] Witchseason still had the challenge of turning Nick into a viable commercial proposition. He wasn’t gigging, so having him write for others was an obvious area to explore. The Jackie article had mentioned that his ‘songs are widely admired by singers like Françoise Hardy’. She had indeed been struck by Five Leaves Left. By her account, ‘The “soul” that emerged from his songs touched me deeply – romantic melodies, poetic but at the same time refined – as well as the so-individual timbre of his voice, which added to the melancholy of the whole thing.’

Nick was cautiously open to the idea of writing something for her, so Joe set up a meeting through the arranger and producer Tony Cox, who was often in Sound Techniques and was interested in the possibility of arranging and producing Françoise. One day in June the three of them flew to Paris.

‘We checked into a hotel, then went to meet her in her fabulous apartment in an old tenement in the Île Saint-Louis,’ says Tony. According to a contemporary report, the top-floor flat was ‘cool and moody, with white walls and black carpets’. The encounter was no more colourful. ‘I don’t think Nick had a guitar with him, and he didn’t take my cues to speak,’ says Joe. ‘She didn’t say much either, which left me doing most of the talking. The whole meeting was awkward. We left it that she would let us know if she wanted to record anything of his, and didn’t hear from her again.’

Pictured: Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart).

Clashes between Van Vliet and the other group members were on the increase and Moon’s days were numbered. [Ry] Cooder described what greeted him when he arrived at rehearsals: “[Van Vliet said,] ‘Well, I’ll tell you what we’re doing and what we’re not doing. First goddamn thing is this goddamn guy here’ – he points to Doug Moon again. ‘Get outta here, Doug, just get outta here. You’re no use to us now.’ I can’t remember what language he used but it was something like ‘go away and let us do this’… ‘Another damn thing I should tell you, the bass player Jerry, he doesn’t remember the parts half the time. I told him, I taught him the music.’ And I’m going, ‘Whoa, all right. One thing at a time.’”4

Moon left soon after. Cooder has claimed that the suddenly disenfranchised guitarist pulled a crossbow on the musicians, shouting, “Don’t nobody move,” but none of the other witnesses at the scene remembers it as dramatically. There was a crossbow in the house which would occasionally be used in an attempt to clear the garden of an infestation of squirrels, but Moon apparently did no more than put it back in its place. His official departure was far less dramatic. He was formally asked to leave by [label head Bob] Krasnow, who had been delegated to do the dirty work. With Cooder drafted in immediately following Moon’s departure, tensions in the group were high.

Some of the other guys who were still playing in the old style didn’t agree. “Raising and lowering [turntable] speeds didn’t happen until some people decided they wanted to get fancy,” says Francis Grasso. “Well, since almost everything innovative had been done by then, they tried that shit, and for the most part it really sucked.” The ex-Sanctuary DJ believed that the speed controls were not only redundant but also damaging. “If you have people that are music savvy they will notice that you’ve speeded up the records, and it will bother them. If you’re a good disc jockey and you’re playing a record that’s 100 beats per minute you should have the knowledge to pick out a record that runs at 101 or 102 beats per minute. You don’t take a record that plays at 105 beats per minute and slow it down. You’re using equipment to alter the actual record.” That, according to Grasso, didn’t simply harm the integrity of the vinyl. “Why would you want to fuck around with a live crowd when that’s who’s paying you? Why would somebody want to go from one to bang-zoom like you were in Star Trek and you went into warp phase? And why would you want to shut the sound off? I never knocked Nicky Siano. He did his thing. I just never understood it. I never thought he took care of his audience. He’d get so high he thought he was the emperor of the room.”

One December evening, Dehoué came again, this time with musicians and a figure muffled in white cloth. The town was silent but for the howl of breakers on the bar. Swifts were slicing the green air. The girl brushed past the spectators and tore off her veil.

She had owl eyes, a pouting mouth and shell-pink fingernails that fluttered at her finger-tips. Gold hoops shone in her ears. Her neck was a perfect cylinder. Her legs gleamed like metal rods and her torso, clad only in an indigo loincloth, was hard yet flexible as a hinge.

Her shoulders shuddered at the first roll of drums. Then she spun round. She pirouetted. She strutted. Her arms pumped the air, her feet kicked the dust. Sweat poured from her breasts and a musky perfume gusted into the Brazilian’s face: not once did she let her gaze fall away from him.

The drummers stopped.

She stood before him, on tiptoe, swaying her hips and languidly laying out her tongue. Her arms beckoned. She bent at the knees. Then she arched her spine and bent over backwards till the back of her head brushed the ground.

One day on the tour, we were driving back to London and I said to the tour manager, ‘I want to get a live chicken.’ We had bought a meat cleaver in Germany and it gave me an idea. I told him to stop at a farmhouse and buy a chicken, but put it in a box so that nobody else in the band would know. However, he came out of the farmhouse holding the squawking chicken by its legs. All the way back to the Portobello Hotel everybody in the band was asking, ‘What’s he gonna do with the fucking chicken? You’re not going to hurt it, right?’

The gig was at Croydon. I had the chicken killed backstage and put on a wooden platter with a handle. I told the roadie, ‘When I get into the second verse of “Heartbreak Hotel”, slide it out to me on the platter.’ I already had the meat cleaver stashed on stage. The guys in the front row were slam-dancing, bopping and swaying. All those punks with their leather and chains, pushing everybody because they’d taken too much speed. So I thought, try a little voodoo! I’m singing, ‘We could be so lonely,’ swinging the chicken around by its feet, nobody in the audience knowing it was dead, ‘we could be so – ‘ Thwok! I decapitated it and threw the body into the slam dancers at the front of the stage, and I threw the head past them. It landed in somebody’s Pimm’s. Everyone looked totally disgusted. The bass player was about to vomit and all the musicians moved away from me. Even the slam dancers stopped in mid-slam. It was the most effective show-stopper I ever came up with.

I have no remorse for the chicken. I like chicken – chicken fricassee. The band’s quitting in protest was pretentious. Bruce Brody and Richie Fliegler stayed on; they were the only non-vegetarians. They too had wanted to know before it happened, ‘What are you gonna do, are you gonna hurt it?’ I said no, and afterwards they told me I lied to them. I said, ‘I didn’t hurt it, I killed it. It didn’t feel a thing.’

It is a vegetable plague, spreading from tree to tree. Unstoppable, invisible, a hidden rot, unseeing, unseen by the eyes of the world. Was it born of the deep dark earth? Was it brought to the surface by the mouths of the tiniest creatures? A fungus, perhaps? No, it travels faster than spores, it breeds inside tree roots, buried in their wooden hearts. An ancient, crawling evil. Kill it. Kill it with fire. Light it up and watch it burn, torch all those sickly beeches, firs and giant oaks that have stood the test of time, douse their trunks wounded from a thousand insect bites. Dying now, diseased and dying, dead as they stand. Let it burn and watch the flames reach up to the sky, for left alone it will consume the world, feeding on the death of others, nurtured by all the green grass turned grey. Quiet now, listen. Listen to it grow.

Pictured: Bobby Fuller & friends.

Back at the dorm by 4:30, I changed straight away and left for the record shop in Shinjuku to put in my hours. I looked after the shop from six o’clock to 10:30 and sold a few records, but mainly I sat there in a daze, watching an incredible variety of people streaming by outside. There were families and couples and drunks and gangsters and lively-looking girls in short skirts and bearded hippies and bar hostesses and some indefinable types. Whenever I put on hard rock, hippies and runaway kids would gather outside to dance and sniff paint thinner or just sit on the ground doing nothing in particular, and when I put on Tony Bennett, they would disappear.

Next door was a shop where a middle-aged, sleepy-eyed man sold “adult toys”. I couldn’t imagine why anyone would want the kind of sex paraphernalia he had there, but he seemed to do a roaring trade. In the alley diagonally across from the record shop I saw a drunken student vomiting. In the game arcade across from us at another angle, the cook from a local restaurant was killing time on his break with a game of bingo that took cash bets. Beneath the eaves of a shop that had closed for the night, a swarthy homeless guy was crouching, motionless. A girl with pale pink lipstick who couldn’t have been more than 12 or 13 came in and asked me to play the Rolling Stones’ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”. When I found the record and put it on for her, she started snapping her fingers to the rhythm and shaking her hips as she danced around the shop. Then she asked me for a cigarette. I gave her one of the manager’s, which she smoked gratefully, and when the record ended she left the shop without so much as a “thank you”.

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood.

Pictured: Don Sonrabiab.

He extends the mouthpiece to me, tends to the position of the pipe and the steady coddling of the bubbling chandoo. The taste, the scent—yes, there is to them that lovely, sweet-roasting hazelnut aroma, that delicate perfume of unknown flowers; but these are just the airs that drift through what can only be called ambrosia. My lungs cannot have enough of it, so unimaginable the taste, so soft and gentle the vapors.

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”

I am aswirl, bird-soul and breeze, amid the cool high mountain trees of the myriad-meaninged knowledge of that thing, savior and destroyer, within. Never has an afternoon passed in such serenity, in life lived so fully, so freely of the maggots of that glob of gross crenulated meat that we call mind. To be here now, wordless, every breath a bringing forth, peering calm and adrift through the interstices of forever.

— Nick Tosches, The Last Opium Den.

“Five windows light the cavern’d Man: thro’ one he breathes the air;

Thro’ one hears music of the spheres; thro’ one the eternal vine

Flourishes, that he may recieve the grapes; thro’ one can look

And see small portions of the eternal world that ever groweth;

Thro’ one himself pass out what time he please; but he will not,

For stolen joys are sweet & bread eaten in secret pleasant.”

— William Blake, “A Prophecy” from Europe (1794).
