The Negro was blind in one eye and one leg was shorter than the other; he wore an ancient felt hat and his ribs showed through his torn shirt like a ship’s under demolition. He walked at the edge of the pavement, beyond the yellow and pink pillars of a colonnade, in the hot January sun, and he counted every step as he went. As he passed the Wonder Bar, going up Virdudes, he had reached ‘1,369’. He had to move slowly to give time for so long a numeral. ‘One thousand three hundred and seventy.’ He was a familiar figure near the National Square, where he would sometimes linger and stop his counting long enough to sell a packet of pornographic photographs to a tourist. Then he would take up his count where he had left it. At the end of the day, like an energetic passenger on a trans-Atlantic liner, he must have known to a yard how far he had walked.

Frederick heard Lyle smother a soft laugh but he would not share it. Lyle was invulnerable, but the stranger, like himself, was not, no matter how desperately she pretended. All these guests were Lyle’s people, a success clique; there was nothing about them he liked, understood or even cared to understand. The half-a-minute revelation of the young outsider showed that she belonged with him, never with them. She was on the outside and always would be. He was sorry for her, for wanting something she could never name, and for that painful moment of doubt in her own beauty. He watched her trying to recover her saucy confidence, lighting a cigarette with lips curved in mocking, jaunty smile, eyelids lowered to hide the torment of envy they might betray.

Pictured: Vadou Game.
That wine, the color of slightly burned onions, partaking of Malaga and Port, but with a specially luscious flavor, and an after-taste of grapes dried by fiery suns, had often comforted him, given a new energy to his stomach weakened by the fasts which he was forced to undergo. But this cordial, usually so efficacious, now failed. Then he thought that an emollient might perhaps counteract the fiery pains which were consuming him, and he took out the Nalifka, a Russian liqueur, contained in a bottle frosted with unpolished glass. This unctuous raspberry-flavored syrup also failed. Alas! the time was far off when, enjoying good health, Des Esseintes had ridden to his house in the hot summer days in a sleigh, and there, covered with furs wrapped about his chest, forced himself to shiver, saying, as he listened attentively to the chattering of his teeth: “Ah, how biting this wind is! It is freezing!” Thus he had almost succeeded in convincing himself that it was cold. Unfortunately, such remedies as these had failed of their purpose ever since his sickness became vital.
With all this, he was unable to make use of laudanum: instead of allaying the pain, this sedative irritated him even to the degree of depriving him of rest. At one time he had endeavored to procure visions through opium and hashish, but these two substances had led to vomitings and intense nervous disturbances. He had instantly been forced to give up the idea of taking them, and without the aid of these coarse stimulants, demand of his brain alone to transport him into the land of dreams, far, far from life.

Pictured: Marc Bolan of Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Then came Tyrannosaurus Rex, an acoustic duo featuring [Marc] Bolan and the percussionist Steve Peregrin-Took, but with the former evidently calling all the shots. Perhaps noting that Bolan was less committed to flower power idealism than he was to becoming famous, some areas of London’s hippie counterculture regarded him with a jaundiced eye (“He was a cocky little shit,” complains one underground luminary in Jonathon Green’s definitive oral history of the era, Days in the Life), but the music Tyrannosaurus Rex made was frequently extraordinary. For an acoustic duo with a penchant for whimsy, they seldom sounded laid back: their songs charge along chaotically, fuelled by riffs and an energy closer to early rock’n’roll than folk.

When Robert Beck [a.k.a. Iceberg Slim] was released from prison for the last time in April 1962, he vowed to leave the pimp game behind him forever. Most of the pimps he once knew had either died or become drunken bums. His pimp mentor of many years, Albert “Baby” Bell, had walked over to Chicago’s Washington Park one day and shot himself in the temple, leaving a note that read: “Good-bye squares! Kiss my pimping ass!”1 Beck did not want to suffer the same fate. He was past forty now, practically a senior citizen for a pimp. He had blown his bottom woman, and he no longer possessed the necessary finery for luring young victims. “I was caught in the nightmare bind that an older pimp faces past the age of thirty-five,” Beck reflected. “He is then prone to many setbacks and disasters. Any one of them can put him on his uppers and without the basic gaudy bait, like an out-of-sight car, psychedelic wardrobe, the diamonds necessary to hook and enslave a fresh stable of humping young whores.”

Pictured: Françoise Hardy.
Since his first record, I had liked the gifted young English singer and songwriter Nick Drake, to whom the media inexplicably gave the cold shoulder. For this reason, when I was in his country I spoke to every journalist I met with all the enthusiasm his work inspired in me, in hopes of getting him more attention. He heard of what I was doing and surprised me by coming to the London studio where I was recording. He visited me several times, but the language barrier prevented us from communicating, unless that was a convenient screen to disguise deeper blockages in each of us. He would sit in a corner of the studio and stay there for hours, without saying a word, as if it was enough for him to know I liked his songs.

Pictured: The Stooges.
Today, Fun House is the Stooges album most consistently cited by musicians, for instance Jack White, of the White Stripes, who reckons, ‘In my mind, Fun House is the greatest rock ’n’ roll record ever made. I’ll always feel that.’ Eventually, this music would spawn the dark gothic rock of Nine Inch Nails or Jane’s Addiction, but for many contemporaries, Fun House seemed to prove the Stooges were simply deluded. There was impassioned support from Creem’s Lester Bangs, who wrote a huge feature on the album that was serialised over two issues, and many others. Even industry bible Billboard weighed in on their behalf, although the positive review must have irked the singer by crediting ‘Steve Mackay and his magic saxophone’ as the leader. Even so, the album was generally reviled, in particular by the radio industry. Steve Harris, senior vice president in charge of marketing at Elektra, was a fan of the Stooges and pushed the record hard, but received an unequivocal reaction: ‘Oh my God! Isn’t Elektra a company of beautiful and wonderful and classy music? What are they doing with this?’

Pictured: Los Shapis.
I decided to try some Yage prepared Vaupes method. The Indian and I started scraping off bark with machetes (the inner bark is the most active). This is white and sappy at first but almost immediately turns red on exposure to air. The landlady’s daughters watched us pointing and giggling. This is strictly against Putumayo protocol for the preparation of Yage. The Brujo of Macoa told me if a woman witnesses the preparation the Yage spoils on the spot and will poison anyone who drinks it or at least drive him insane. The old us routine. I figured this was a chance to test the woman pollution myth once and for all with seven female creatures breathing down my neck, poking sticks in the mixture, fingering the Yage and giggling.
The cold water infusion is a light red color. That night I drank a quart of infusion over a period of one hour. Except for blue flashes and slight nausea – though not to the point of vomiting – the effect was similar to weed. Vividness of mental imagery, aphrodisiac results, silliness and giggling. In this dosage there was no fear, no hallucinations or loss of control. I figure this dose as about one third the dose that Brujo gave me.

As unsettling and foreign as Starsailor had been two years before, Greetings from L.A., as the new work was called, is as close to a conventional rock record as Tim [Buckley] had ever made. Starting with “Move with Me,” which sports a juke-joint sax solo and honky-tonk piano, most of the songs find him and the band vamping over relatively direct chord changes and rhythms. “Nighthawkin’” started as a lyric excerpt from Larry Beckett, inspired by a night he walked into a convenience store and overheard a cab driver telling a clerk about a deranged passenger. [Producer Jerry] Goldstein, [guitarist/arranger Joe] Falsia, and Tim turned it into a boogie, complete with slippery lead guitars. (The reference to “a combat paratrooper daddy” could have been inserted by Tim, possibly referring to his father.) “Sweet Surrender,” the album’s most aching ballad, has a cascade of strings that undercuts Tim’s macho cheating-song lyric (“I had to be a hunter again/This little man had to try to make love feel new again”).

The [melodica] now, everyone portraying it as nothing, but the instrument itself is something because it’s just like a keyboard, the same scales and notes. The only thing is that … it’s [a] blowing instrument. And music travel within the wind and no one can hold it or catch it. It’s just like the breeze — can anyone catch the breeze or touch the sun?
