No Condition Is Permanent

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.”

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?’

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”).

[Jamaican producer Lee “Scratch”] Perry collaborated on the dub-rock number ‘Big Muff’, a double homage to the distortion pedal and the female anatomy, written after [John] Martyn saw Perry playing ribald games with [Island Records’ chief] Chris Blackwell’s animal-shaped breakfast crockery. The track appears on 1977’s One World, the final bright bloom in the garden of British folk-rock. With its luminous, glassy production – credited to Blackwell himself – and contemporary flourishes such as drum machines, Moog synthesizer and Yamaha organ, plus tablas and a couple of orchestral backings courtesy of Harry Robinson, it’s a signpost towards a possible future for Martyn’s music that never quite materialised. Martyn’s Echoplex guitar is used almost symphonically in places, in an ‘infinite’ repeat that would resurface in later post-punk guitar groups like The Durutti Column and Felt. As foils to Martyn’s kaleidoscopic echo guitar, Steve Winwood’s gum-pot synths and John Stevens’s muscular funk drumming are the record’s lifeblood, but despite the sonic vitality, the theme of the record is exhaustion.

‘This time was the beginning for Rasta on a big scale. Well of course it had been around in Jamaica for years, but having people start looking for culture now meant that Rasta was coming out much more. Now its philosophies were becoming something that made sense to a much larger number of people than were actually dreadlocks, so it began to spread like fire. Rasta was only one light that sprang up at the time, but it was the brightest light as far as black consciousness in Jamaica went. And of course musicians benefited from it, they drew from it. This looking for Africa and culture meant the music’s rhythm patterns changed and it became faster – nothing like ska, but not like rocksteady either. The whole thought and the feeling of the artists and songwriters seemed to change as we were singing about Africa and culture and that. Not that we weren’t singing it before, but it became more prominent.’

— Burning Spear, quoted in Lloyd Bradley’s Bass Culture.
