Moving to Los Angeles in the mid-1940s, Aberle became [eden] ahbez. He fell in with a group of nature mystics that included John and Vera Richter, the owners of the Eutropheon, a vegetarian cafe on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. Like the long-haired “hermit turned showman” William Pester – whom it is thought ahbez met in the late 1930s – the Richters were adherents of lebensreform (life reform), a philosophy that had begun in Switzerland and Germany in the first decade of the 20th century. Coexisting with the early Wandervogel – or wandering birds, the young, usually male, hikers who advocated a return to nature – lebensreform pioneers congregated in communities, foreswore private property, and practised vegetarianism and organic farming, in an attempt to counter the toxins of mechanised contemporary life. Visitors included Hermann Hesse, Carl Jung, Paul Klee, Rudolf Steiner and Hugo Ball.

This was one seedbed for an alternative lifestyle that would flourish during the next 50 years. ahbez was directly influenced by Pester – thought to be the inspiration for [ahbez-penned ’50s hit] “Nature Boy” – and came into contact with these ideas at the Eutropheon, where he worked. “Nature Boy” was the conduit through which vegetarian ideals, nonconformism and notions of living in harmony with nature began to filter into US culture. True to his beliefs, ahbez continued to live rough even after the song had earned him generous royalties; he camped for a short period under the then Hollywood sign.

At the same time, plenty of good music hit the dance floor over the summer. Arabian Nights by the Ritchie Family included the celebratory “The Best Disco in Town.” Tom Moulton released a mix of the steamily autobiographical “More, More, More” by the Andrea True Connection, featuring adult-movie actress Andrea True. Undisputed Truth came out with a radically improved eleven-minute-ten-second twelve-inch version of their song “ You + Me = Love.” And Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band eponymous album, which included the hugely popular “Sour and Sweet,” “Cherchez la Femme” and “I’ll Play the Fool,” rapidly established itself as the most important and eclectic dance release of the summer. “RCA didn’t know how big a record they had on their hands,” says [DJ-turned-executive David] Todd. “They were going to give it to adult contemporary until I passed it on to every DJ on the mailing list. I pointed out which cuts to focus on, and it went gold. That was when RCA really started to take the disco department seriously.”

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.’

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.
