Still Violet simply sat leaning out, for a long time looking just at that wallpaper nearest the bed; and Boris could have seen this, perfect host, for he gave her a nosedrop-bottle then, which held a small piece of mercury. And she poured this out into her hand, as a lump of wet mirror, small as the smallest silver coin, though with Violet being so close, it might not have been like that now, and even in letting it move across one palm and onto the other, and back, she must let it fall to the floor. So that while Boris slowly stood to adjust the newspaper light, Violet knelt down very close, as if she might have already made out what loomed there near in the half-light—which it did when the light came, like a soft silver moon, as big as a mountain against a black plateau, and all around, at different and precise distances, were its pieces, shattered, perched glittering and isolate on the same expanse, or down, glinting up half-hidden deep at the bottom of parallel fissures where the surface dropped sharply away, or yet again, over and beyond: one, two, three dark fields away.

Every new pharoah, before ascending the throne, had to visit heaven and become accepted among the gods. Only after this otherworldly journey could the pharoah be accepted by the priests, and by himself, as one fit to fulfill the divine, as well as political, functions of kingship, as conceived in those days. This voyage to the highest stars, where the gods live, involved a magick ritual employing what Knight and Lomas call a “narcotic.” When the last pharoah of the native dynasty refused to reveal the secrets of this ritual to the new Hyskos dynasty, they killed him in the manner of the widow’s son. The lost “word” = the details of the Ritual of Illumination and the name of the “narcotic” used.

It seems to me that Knight and Lomas have this last detail wrong, due to their ignorance of psycho-pharmacology. Narcotics do not allow you to walk among the stars and communicate with superhuman intelligences. They kill pain, they numb anxiety, they knock you unconscious; and they usually get you addicted: that’s all they do. Almost certainly, the magick potion used in the ritual did not belong to the narcotic family but to the entheogens-the type of drugs also called psychedelics. Entheogens produce “mystic” and godly experiences, and at least one of them, and perhaps two, had widespread religious usage among the Indo-European peoples from ancient times, amanita muscaria definitely and psylocibin possibly, both of them members of the “magic mushroom” group.

Tim Buckley — “Sweet Surrender” — Greetings From L.A.

Pictured: Mose Allison.

Although the white beat’s attraction to the jazz world is often the very core of his “white Negro” role, there is little uniquely “beat” about all this. Such involvement is socially not very different from the relationship of adolescent whites to Negro jazz in several American non-beat and pre-beat bohemias. For example, nearly twenty years ago…we often used to make the Harlem “balcony scenes” – boosting old Bessie Smiths and Hot Fives from the balcony of the Rainbow Music Shop before the wartime scrap drive wrecked the supply, going wild in the Apollo Theatre’s sweet-smelling second balcony – odoriferous from pomade and pot, though we didn’t know about the latter at the time – to a Basie-Millinder twin bill. And we traveled Swing Street when it still swung (where half the time we’d get kicked out despite our borrowed I.D.’s), to hear Billie Holiday at the Onyx Club or Tatum at the Three Deuces… But apart from the music itself, and the fact that now one merely listens to it at Birdland instead of stomping to it at the Savoy, not much has really changed.

The Parliaments had become psychedelicized. George [Clinton] had been turned on to LSD and proceeded to indoctrinate everyone else. The clothes change had started initially with the back-up musicians. According to Billy Bass, “George and them were still wearing those funky ass processes and them suits. Me and Eddie [Hazel] and Tiki [Fulwood] said ‘Fuck that.’ To tell you the truth, Eddie and Tiki were two trifling motherfuckers so they didn’t want to be clean at all. The three of us just plain out did not want to wear them suits no more. It was all based on the theory, ‘Well hey, we ain’t Parliaments, we’re Funkadelic, we don’t have to wear that.’ I had cut off my process a long time ago. Eddie’s hair was always wild, he had a big ole Afo. Tiki still had his hair slicked down. I was wearing braids then, very radical braids. We just wore whatever we wanted to wear.”

Mick and Gram were leaning out the door, talking to people. Gram was wearing brown suede pants and a rhinestoned Nudie shirt with Thunderbirds on the front, Indians on the deltoids, a dancing brave on the back. A little while later Mick and I tried to walk around and see some of the show—Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young were playing—but there was no way, it was too crowded, you couldn’t move in the crush and what you could see you didn’t want to be close to. Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas came into the trailer bearing tales of how the Angels were fighting with civilians, women, and each other, bouncing full cans of beer off people’s heads. Augustus Owsley Stanley III, the San Francisco psychedelic manufacturer, known as Owsley, was giving away LSD, the Angels eating it by handfuls, smearing the excess on their faces. It didn’t sound good but there was no way to do anything about it, nothing to do in the center of a hurricane but ride it out.

Wyman’s helicopter was late, so we waited. Gram and I sat on the bed, smoking and singing Hank Williams and Ernest Tubb songs, until he said, as I was attempting to remind him of the words to “Filipino Baby,” that he thought I had given up music for writing some time ago…

“He’s really very nice, you know,” Charlie said to me, talking about Gram. “I’ve been talkin’ to him about San Francisco, and the hippies and all that, and he’s got standards, he goes just so far and no farther. And when that girl came in, he stood up just naturally without thinking about it.”

Of course lots of women look better in their own places. Once in a while you get a stunner who knocks them cold in a restaurant but back in her own living room takes on the second-rate lifelessness of her own handpicked ordinary background. Still the majority of women come out better in their own homes, so it wasn’t really so surprising that Ebie should look quite dignified, and unusually pretty, coming down the staircase to music, for the radio was playing a Paul Whiteman recording of “Afraid to Dream” as sumptuously soft as the white bear rug in front of the great fireplace. Ebie was a girl who changed at every appearance from pretty to chic to naïve to plain tart, but this was a good night, the socko from Oliver had challenged her. Her hair was reddish gold tonight—Lou dimly recalled it as platinum at one time—and instead of the cutie-pie curls it was arranged in two plaits around her head so that her small naughty face with knowing hazel eyes looked not the least tartish. She wore a long-sleeved brownish-gold dinner dress and the amber jewelry on that with her hair and coloring was something that struck an odd new chord in Lou, something that didn’t seem to stem from Ebie herself but from some new force Lou had never struck before.

There was another important motivation for providing instrumentals for sound systems. By the mid-1960s, the first generation of sound system operators turned record producers were increasingly devoting time to their production activities, and their roles at dances were filled by resident deejays, the most loquacious of whom began to “toast” (that is, rap) over the music to excite the crowd. The first deejays were people like Count Machuki and King Stitt (both working Coxsone’s Downbeat system), and with the emergence of the groundbreaking U-Roy (Ewart Beckford) with King Tubby’s sound system around 1970… These musicians specialized in exhorting the crowd to dance with their various styles of stream-of-consciousness vocalizing; the new dub plates, with vocals partially or completely removed, allowed the deejays the sonic space to improvise freely over the rhythm as would a jazz soloist. Clive Chin remembered the rise of the deejay as a dominant force in the sound systems, and the role the dub plate played: “Sound system become modernized now. You no have one turntable no more, you have two turntable, so you play the vocal, like Heptones’ ‘Tripe Girl’ or ‘Guiding Star,’ and just about as the music finish after three minutes and change—BOOM!—the version just come in with the drum and bass and the man just pick up the mic at the same time and begin to toast, him a nice up the sound!”
