No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: Procol Harum.

Then, in the days when Des Esseintes still deemed it incumbent on him to play the eccentric, he had also installed strange and elaborate dispositions of furniture and fittings, partitioning off his salon into a series of niches, each differently hung and carpeted, and each harmonizing in a subtle likeness by a more or less vague similarity of tints, gay or sombre, refined or barbaric, with the special character of the Latin and French books he loved. He would then settle himself down to read in whichever of these recesses displayed in its scheme of decoration the closest correspondence with the intimate essence of the particular book his caprice of the moment led him to peruse.

But anyway, this short one is working to me, see, and I’m going crazy. Not doing anything, just standing still as a rabbit, going crazy. A hush has come over the whole place. Everybody’s peeping. The other girl’s working to me too now. The place gets quieter and I know everybody’s going crazy. There’s three behind the window shade. Three in the bed. The short girl has the gauze stuff caught between her legs, run between her legs and caught with her hands behind her, and she’s sawing on it and her lips are pouting and she’s sucking and I say to myself, All right, I’m from Mississippi but that don’t make me slow. So I cut for backstage. I could tell by the music and how they were sweating that it was about over anyway, plus the fact that I was about to lose my rocks. The crowd sighed and then howled but I didn’t even turn around to wave.

Pictured: Public Image Ltd. (l. to r.: Keith Levene, John Lydon, Jah Wobble).

Public Image sprang initially from [singer John] Lydon’s desire to avoid the Rock’n’Roll thrash of the Sex Pistols. He was obsessed with the space of dub, while [guitarist Keith] Levene had refined his guitar playing into a barrage of ringing noise. This was post-Punk, definitely experimental. ‘I wanted to do something which was true power,’ says [bassist Jah] Wobble, ‘not choppy rhythm guitars out of time, loud. When you’re thinking about music you’re thinking about something supposed  to have a lasting effect. That bass will be reverberating for years.’

Pictured: A very young Travis Wammack.

Music was everywhere. Jim Kweskin’s Jug Band at Mt. Auburn’s Club 47. Patrick Sky, the Indian activist, Mitch Greenhill, and farthest out of all, the Holy Modal Rounders. Walking the street, I heard Travis picking and harmonica wailing out of a dusty storefront. Young men who looked like me, with long hair, scruffy, Navy pea jackets or fleece-lined sheepherder’s coats, blue jeans, and booted, plodded through the city streets like rugged frontiersmen, carrying Martin D28s in black hard-shell cases.

Computer Paul remembers that Channel One was also one of the earliest studios to introduce the use of electronic instruments such as synthesizers and electronic drums (Syndrums) into Jamaican music: “Channel One with Sly [Dunbar] dem, them go put a lot of synth sounds into drumming. So it change the whole feel, ’cause we were just used to kick, snare, and hi-hat. They brought in Syndrums and synthesizers.” In fact, Sly and Robbie [Shakespear]’s increasing electronic work at Channel One would set the stage for their emergence as the Taxi Gang, one of Jamaica’s top production teams from the early 1980s. Their experiments would culminate in their production of the vocal trio Black Uhuru, which was marked by a hard, urban and thoroughly electronic sound that expanded Channel One’s vision in a manner consistent with the cutting edge of engineering and sound processing in England and America.

I introduced Johnny to Betty. He was suave, Latin­-esque. He huddled with Betty in a booth, making diagrams in the air with his hands: I go from here, you come from there. They went onstage and did some steps. Johnny spun her around. He threw her down and picked her up. Betty was a cheerleader, she got it. He counted off “Hernando’s Hide­away” — a pop tango for straight-­life moms and pops. Johnny gave it the twist — a domestic scene from the dark side of town. The man is aroused, the woman is coy. He slaps her around a little just to get a mood going. He preens, checks his attitude. They embrace, they dance, she stabs him in the crotch with a big prop knife. Olé, thank you ladies and gentlemen, especially you, ladies.

Chuck Berry and Chicago blues are both components of The Rolling Stones, of course, and most people, on first exposure to the New York Dolls, took them as Stones copyists. ‘My first impressions were that they were the early Stones in strippers’ clothes,’ Bowie recalled. ‘Fabulous early R&B sound, but much sloppier and more vital.’ Writing in Melody Maker, Richard Williams pinpointed it more precisely as the Stones between Aftermath and Between the Buttons, especially songs like ‘Stupid Girl’, in which Jagger sang somewhere between sneer and snarl. The Dolls’ groove likewise found the place between swagger and stagger: if the Stones were a car, then the Dolls had one wheel missing and veered constantly on the edge of careening off the road completely.

As we got ready to go back into the studio as Funkadelic, we added some new personnel. The most important arrival at that time was Junie Morrison. Junie had been one of the cornerstones of the Ohio Players,.. Junie was one of the main songwriters during that period, responsible for hits like “Funky Worm.” Junie… was known around the music world as a brilliant guy capable of doing almost anything: writing, arranging, playing keyboards, preparing a band for a tour.

Junie was a fascinating person to work with. He could do it all, and if you weren’t careful, he would…Just because you can play all the instruments doesn’t mean that you should… Junie wasn’t the only one in danger of disappearing into the solitary-genius bag, of course. Sly had been like that before him. Prince would be like that after him. Even with them, there was a danger: if you don’t go back to a group environment now and then, you start to lose your juice. With Funkadelic, he put himself back in the group environment, and it started to pay dividends immediately.

Having arrived in Egypt 600 years too late to see one of the Seven Wonders of the World – the Pharos lighthouse – I felt I couldn’t leave without seeing one that still exists – the Pyramids. I had always presumed they were in the middle of nowhere, marooned in the desert. In fact they are within five minutes’ walk of apartment blocks in the suburb of Giza. My first view of them is from a traffic jam on Pyramids Road. The 4,600-year-old apex of the Great Pyramid pokes up from behind a block of flats. My first full-frontal view of the Pyramids provokes an heretical comparison with the slag-heaps which used to litter the South Yorkshire countryside where I grew up. They had the same solid bulk, shape and immovable presence. Once free of the straggling suburb we are straightaway in desert. There’s no transition through savannah and scrubland, like in the geography books. The city ends, the desert begins, and it goes on until you reach Morocco. The dustiness of Cairo is explained. Every time a wind blows it dumps thousands of tonnes of desert on the city.

Closer now to the Pyramids and they are awesome. The blocks of sandstone at their base are twice as high as the small children playing around them. The structures rise serene and powerful above us, preserving an unmoving dignity, like great beasts surrounded by insects. Coaches ferry out an endless stream of human insects, deposit them at a tightly packed vantage point where they are assailed by camel-mongers, postcard salesmen, purveyors of trinkets and all the other free market forces which have ripped off tourists at this very spot for hundreds, if not thousands of years.
