EXPERIENCE ROCK HISTORY and the COUNTER-CULTURE’S COSMIC UNITY

The MONTEREY INTERNATIONAL POP FESTIVAL June 16-18, 1967

The Monterey International Pop Festival was the brainchild of John Phillips of “The Mamas and The Papas”, and legendary super producer Lou Adler – timed perfectly to kick-start the historic Summer of Love cultural Vibe.

The cosmic level of Rock Pop Counter-Culture History that was produced at Monterey served as a cultural debut of the future, not only for the populace, but more importantly for the Counter-Culture itself.  Monterey Pop was the beginning of what could be, and what was to be.

There was so much happening, evolving, and being quickly assimilated in 1967 that the intricacies of what was really happening – a generational ideological music-oriented liberating socio-political drug-fueled movement that would change society forever – had become a multi-layered lifestyle.

Evening – 1 Blues Project 2 Big Brother and the Holding Company 3 The Group With No Name 4 Buffalo Springfield 5 The Who 6 Grateful Dead 7 The Jimi Hendrix Experience 8 The Mamas & the Papas 9 Scott McKenzie 10 Mamas & Papas & Scott McKenzie

The Monterey International Pop Festival’s peaceful sucess introduced the Summer of Love . . .
and while considered trite today, Scott McKenzie’s Top 20 Hit, “San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)”, was heartfelt and was highly representative of the Vibe; the emergence and cosmic feeling of empathy and love and rock ‘n’ roll.

The Vibe is a hard feeling to describe.  Imagine waking up in the morning and going about your daily business only there is a subtle feeling of excitement coming from within.  This feeling was unique and ubiquitous and became part of every level of life.  It had no judgement or appropriation of class, it existed in the knowing recognition of another like-minded Brother or Sister who was also exploring life through an entirely new viewpoint with clarity, priority, vision, truth, reality, and empathetic Brotherly Love.

Arguably the catalyst for all of this stemmed from the enlightened experiences of Marijuana and LSD.  The unique part of the Vibe was that stoned or straight, longhair or shorthair, a symbiotic bond was known and felt among those whose world had opened up to many new ways of thought and to an acquired awareness.  And when a good Vibe is transferred, Cosmic Unity spreads.

This was exemplified by the emerging Counter-Culture’s celebration of music and performers in a peaceful, joyful outdoor environment was communal, tribal, respectful, appreciative, enjoyable, fun-loving, and empowering.  These were emotions that were obviously felt to varying degrees by everyone at Monterey, and the feelings continued at concerts and events thereafter, serving as evidence of the Unity of Music, People, and Rock ‘n’ Roll that re-inforced the Vibe.

THE SUMMER OF LOVE!

The Main Attraction of the Summer of Love was centered in and around the Haight Ashbury district of San Francisco with Psychedelic Rock bands; The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Quicksilver Messenger Service creating an allure that was magickal.  The West Coast Sound included a similar scene in Los Angeles centered in and around the Westside and the Canyons; Topanga and Laurel.  The Doors, The Byrds, The Seeds, Love, and Buffalo Springfield pioneered Folk Rock and Psychedelic Rock.

Although the Summer of Love had inadvertent negative repercussions, especially in the Haight, it historically represents the idealized moment in time when individuals joined in peace for alternative lifestyles not burdened by status, materialism, and consumerism; instead they appreciated the simple things in life like Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll, Equality, Civil Rights, Freedom of Speech, enjoying life, and Love.

00individual’s contribution to the Summer of Love:
On June 16-18, 1967 00individual was not 320 miles up the coast at Monterey.  He was 16, just got his license, and for a total of ninety-nine dollars purchased a spacious ’51 Buick, and contributed to the Summer of Love parked in the backseat having sex with his girlfriend.

TWIN PEAKS – the REAL and the SURREAL . . . . . . A 1993 Photo Journal Trip of TWIN PEAKS! . . . . “May The Forest Bewitch You”

TWIN PEAKS – the REAL and the SURREAL
A 1993 Photo Journal of TWIN PEAKS

To celebrate the return of TWIN PEAKS 00individual shifts gears to focus on an event that was born in the ’70s that did not come to fruition until decades later. Honoring that spirit is David Lynch’s 1977 Cult Film “Eraserhead”.  This black and white work of subtle unnerving anxiety and otherworldly dystopian horror is drenched in disturbed beauty that got everyone’s attention; especially legendary Mel Brooks, who produced Lynch’s 1980 “The Elephant Man”. That  film was a critical and commercial success with eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor.

Lynch then took on the Herculean task of his 1984 majestically-real “Dune”, followed by the 1986 twisted classic “Blue Velvet”, and then the wickedly whacked 1990 “Wild at Heart”; which all led up to the anticipation of the April 8, 1990 debut of the TV series; TWIN PEAKS.

Other than a true Rock and Music Fan, 00individual had never been a “fanatic” to the point of being psychologically-involved and mysteriously obsessed with a television show.  The feeling must be how it is for Star Wars/Star Trek Fans and Lord Of the Rings/Harry Potter Fans – in some weird way these “events” speak to people and they seem like home – like where their souls should be.

For 00individual the whole environment of Twin Peaks; the location, the people, the otherness of the wilderness, the reality of Good verses Evil, the alternate dimensions – the coffee, the donuts, and Angelo Badalementi’s extremely hip “sounds from another place” soundtrack – was all very thrillingly comfortable.

But 00individual needed more, he wanted to drink damn good coffee at the Double R Diner; he wanted to cruise by the Roadhouse to jam with the Bookhouse Boys, he wanted to fill-up at Big Ed’s Gas Farm, and he wanted to stay at the Great Northern and see the Whitetail Falls.

So, 00individual thought, why not take a trip to Twin Peaks, for real?  And so, in 1993, 00individual, with his wife and son, set out on a surreal trip to discover the Real and the Surreal TWIN PEAKS.

Let The Trip Begin:

NEIL YOUNG – “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere” May 14, 1969 and “Harvest” February 1, 1972

NEIL YOUNG with CRAZY HORSE – EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE
Reprise RS 6349 – May 14, 1969

Neil Young’s career is truly legendary with both hit recordings and live SRO performances – solo or with the historic, classic Rock bands; Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young – as well as with a solid fan base over the decades.

This second solo release after leaving Buffalo Springfield saw him reach a righteous balance of Ballads and Hard Rock. Joined with the solid musicians of Crazy Horse, the hooks and beats became infectious classics.  Cinnamon Girl packs a head-nodic three minute punch, and both ten minute classics Down by the River, and Cowgirl in the Sand serve as the basis for countless bands’ songs ever after.

“Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere” Side One: 1. Cinnamon Girl 2:58, 2. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 2:26, 3. Round & Round 5:49, 4. Down by the River 9:13.  Side Two: 5. The Losing End (When You’re On) 4:03, 6. Running Dry (Requiem for the Rockets) 5:30, 7. Cowgirl in the Sand 10:06.

Young would soon be etched in Rock History in 1970 by joining ex-Byrd David Crosby, his Springfield bandmate Stephen Stills, and ex-Hollies Graham Nash to form Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and release the era’s defining album “Déjà Vu”.

He would take another place in Rock History Hierarchy with “Harvest”, his fourth solo album, and the Best-Selling Album of 1972 in the United States.  00individual can testify that as a So. Cal. Record Store Manager in the early ‘70s, “Harvest” was a monster!

One of the lost gems in Rock History is the rousin’, rockin’ eponymous 1971 debut album by the truly great band Crazy Horse: Danny Whitten – guitars, lead vocals, Nils Lofgren – guitars, vocals; legendary Jack Nitzsche – piano, vocals; Billy Talbot – bass, vocals, Ralph Molina – drums, vocals.
The whole album is aces with stand-out classics Gone Dead Train and Beggars Day.

NEIL YOUNG – HARVEST
Reprise RS 2032- February 14, 1972

1971 – After defeating hundreds of other applicants for a job at the notoriously-discounted and famously-known Crane’s Records in Inglewood; the Home of the Fabulous Forum!  00individual was able to land the coverted job!  Well, …actually at $1.00 an hour, ten hours a day from 10 AM until 8 PM, Monday through Sunday (seven days a week) – for three months straight – no one else wanted the job.  But he was in – and after the crash course of record store boot camp, and upon achieving super-human knowledge via his trivia-obsessed mutant form of Hyperthymesia (blessing/curse), and with a $3.00 an hour raise, he was put in charge as sole manager of Crane’s Palos Verdes Record and Tape Store on Highway 1, located near the beach, just north of Malaga Cove, which was around the point from the original “Marineland” of the Pacific.  Groovy.

At twenty, for nearly a year, from ’71 to ’72, that store became his second home and he really styled and customized the place.  He took the fixtures from a clothes store next door that had closed and installed their slanted shingled “roof” over the length of the whole cash register area; supported by slender real tree trunk poles braced at both ends, this gave the counter area a “natural” environment and a nice place to do business.

With a wall of cassettes behind him, 00individual would look out across his domain and down all of the aisles as his satisfied subjects flipped and sifted through bins of choice records while rockin’ to the cranked-up sounds of Hendrix’ “In the West”, or T-Rex’ “Electric Warrior”, or Led Zeppelin IV, or Deep Purple’s “Machine Head”, or America’s debut album – or Alice Cooper’s “Schools Out”, or Neil Young’s “Harvest” – and those were just the most recent Warner/Reprise/Atlantic releases! Good times?  No, epic times!

“Harvest” sold so well that 00individual just stacked the sealed factory boxes with the top box open – no need to file or display “Harvest” – just keep it in stock.

“HARVEST” Side one 1. “Out on the Weekend” 4:35, 2. “Harvest” 3:11, 3. “A Man Needs a Maid” 4:05, 4. “Heart of Gold” 3:07, 5. “Are You Ready for the Country?” 3:33  Side two 1. “Old Man” 3:24, 2. “There’s a World” 2:59, 3. “Alabama” 4:02, 4. “The Needle and the Damage Done” (recorded in concert January 30, 1971) 2:03, 5. “Words (Between the Lines of Age)” 6:40.

Apparently Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote “Sweet Home Alabama” in response to Young’s racist portrayal of the South with the “Harvest” track,  Alabama and the “After The Goldrush” track, Southern Man.  So basically Neil Young is responsible for one of the most loved and famous songs of the ’70s.
But . . .
in his 2012 autobiography Waging Heavy Peace, Young commented on his role in the song’s creation, writing “My own song ‘Alabama’ richly deserved the shot Lynyrd Skynyrd gave me with their great record. I don’t like my words when I listen to it. They are accusatory and condescending, not fully thought out, and too easy to misconstrue”.

A rarity; a man owns up – and that’s why Neil Young is a Legend – well, that, and all that other music stuff.

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE – 1972 Film & Soundtrack Anthony Burgess: Book . . . Stanley Kubrick: Film . . . Walter/Wendy Carlos: Music

A Clockwork Orange is a February 2, 1972 dystopian crime film adapted, produced, and directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on Anthony Burgess‘s 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange with the film soundtrack by Walter/Wendy Carlos.

A Clockwork Orange employs disturbing, violent images to comment on psychiatry, juvenile delinquency, youth gangs, and other social, political, and economical subjects in a dystopian near-future Britain.

Four and a half decades later ACO has arrived on the streets of Britain and in cities all over the world – only without the cool music, directorial creativity, eyelash-pleasing cinematography, and codpieces.  Unfortunately, the current real-life present day is far more sinister and insidious.

Anthony Burgess’ book and Stanley Kubrick’s film are eerily prescient today.  Let’s sample a few quotes that derived from the trials and tribulations of the little anti-hero Alex (performed to perfection by the legendary Malcolm McDowell) and his Droogs as they go out for a night about town after a taste of synthemesc for a little bit of the old ultra-violence and in out:

“An eye for an eye, I say. If someone hits you you hit back, do you not? Why then should not the State, very severely hit by you brutal hooligans, not hit back also? But the new view is to say no. The new view is that we turn the bad into the good. All of which seems to me grossly unjust.”

“When we’re healthy we respond to the presence of the hateful with fear and nausea.

“Let us have evil prancing on the page and, up to the very last line, sneering in the face of all the inherited beliefs, Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Holy Roller, about people being able to make themselves better. Such a book would be sensational, and so it is. But I do not think it is a fair picture of human life.

“My son, my son. When I had my son I would explain all that to him when he was starry enough to like understand. But then I knew he would not understand or would not want to understand at all and would do all the veshches I had done, yes perhaps even killing some poor starry forella surrounded with mewing kots and koshkas, and I would not be able to really stop him. And nor would he be able to stop his own son, brothers. And so it would itty on to like the end of the world…

“Is it better for a man to have chosen evil than to have good imposed upon him?”

“When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man.”

“Unfortunately there is so much original sin in us all that we find evil rather attractive. To devastate is easier and more spectacular than to create.

“Each man kills the thing he loves“

“But when the social entity grows large, becomes a megalopolis, a state, a federation, then the governing machine grows remote, impersonal, even inhuman. It takes money from us for purposes we do not seem to sanction; it treats us as abstract statistics; it controls an army; it supports a police force whose function does not always appear to be protective.”

“The important thing is moral choice. Evil has to exist along with good, in order that moral choice may operate. Life is sustained by the grinding opposition of moral entities.”

“There comes a time, however, when violence is seen as juvenile and boring. It is the repartee of the stupid and ignorant.”

“Well, everything’s a lesson, isn’t it? Learning all the time, as you could say.”

Wendy Carlos
With 1968’s groundbreaking and genre creating album, “Switched On Bach”, Walter Carlos was the leader in synthesizer and Moog classical electronica.

Composed by Wendy Carlos (then Walter Carlos) the soundtrack was a huge hit with the Counter-Culture, as was the movie, and the music not only based the film in a alternate reality with the “new” synthesizer sound, but was a thematic extension of Alex’s (and the viewer’s) psychological conditioning.

During the height of Drug experimentation of the early-to-mid-’70s Heads, Rockers, Creatives, Film Nuts, Classical Music Fiends, and the Avant Garde were prime for anything, the weirder, the better. Synthesizers were beginning to become very popular and with the Electronic Wizardry of Wendy Carlos, Isao Tomita, Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou, and Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream the beginning of a new era in music began in earnest.

A Clockwork Orange and Ziggy Stardust
The music and film had a cultural impact to the point that David Bowie adopted the film’s aura with lyrics on his “Alladin Sane” album’s Sufferagette City track with, “Hey Droogie don’t crash here, . . .” and used the Pomp and Circumstance from the soundtrack to open his 1975 Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars Farewell Tour Concert. 00individual speaks Tribal Truth, he was there:
DAVID BOWIE ZIGGY STARDUST and the Spiders from Mars (Farewell Tour – Aladdin Sane Tour) Hollywood Palladium 3-12-73

Stanley Kubrick
A Rock Star in his field, Stanley Kubrick filmed ACO with equal bravado and operatic depiction of violence as Sam Peckinpah did when he made history with the 1969 classic “The Wild Bunch”; ACO was the perfect ambient portrayal of Drug-fueled Degeneracy in a sardonic near-future music-filled horrorshow environment.

Kubrick knew how to create worlds filled with awe and mystery, sex and violence, beauty and beasts  – one of the top historic auteurs of the film industry.  Kubrick was a God.

.

Stanley Kubrick vs Pink Floyd
Stanley Kubrick asked Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters if he could use elements of the Atom Heart Mother suite in ACO.  Waters refused when he found that Kubrick wanted the freedom to cut up the piece to fit the film.  Sometime later, Waters asked Kubrick if he could use sounds from 2001: A Space Odyssey; Kubrick duly refused.

The “Atom Heart Mother” album can be seen during the scene in the record store on the top shelf in the back to the right. The soundtrack to “2001: A Space Odyssey” is in the front of the plexi-bin bottom center.

“Yes, sir! That’s exactly who I am and what I am, sir. A victim, sir!”
