Pop-See-Cul July 1967
Rolling Stones.
BETWEEN THE BUTTONS. The Rolling Stones. London
Records;
a new album containing twelve new songs, written by
Mick Jagger & Keith Richards, produced by Andrew Loog Oldham.
When they
appeared in drag disguise as little old ladies for a record cover, when Charlie
Watts grew a mustache, when Mick Jagger cut his hair, when they came out with
an album as pretentious and musically mediocre as "Aftermath", when they started singing "Have You Seen Yor Mother Baby Standing In
The Shadow", when Brian Jones proudly posed for a photo in a Nazi
uniform and stepping on a toy doll, when they dropped their electric guitars in
favor of sitars and dulcimers, when they started wearing cheap mod clothes, and
when they only reached Number Nine on the charts (!) — then I began to worry
about what had happened to the Bad Boys of Pop, The Rolling Stones.
The Rolling
Stones have more in their heads than actually meets the eye. They are the
popularizers of dissent — fist it was through the guise of rhythm & blues
and dirty sweatshirts, then it was through their own compositions, such as 'I Can't Gat No Satisfaction'.
“ 'Satisfaction' is the national anthem of
youth today,” Stones manager Andrew Oldham boasted, a statement that, to
me, signalled their downfall. The Stones went through a period of constant
change, seemingly wanting to please the twelve year old teenie-boppers as well
as the college hippies. Some of the songs, such as 'Paint It, Black', were good; but somewhere along the path the
Stones lost the beat and dressed in a Style that somehow did not fit.
With 'Between the Buttons' we see where they
have been going. The perception and awareness involved in the making of this
record is both surprising and amazing. Directly or indirectly, they have
expressed, in this album, some of the best thoughts of the new generation growing
up on Carnaby Street, Greenwich Village and Sunset Strip. This is an often
useless but potentially useful generation involved in its own dogma and
originality, often protesting only for so much as lipstick in high school or
against their government’s actions, breaking away from the falsities of their
parents and creating their own lies.
The Stones
are the metranome measuring the pulse of this very ‘in’ world. 'Have You Seen Your Mother' was perhaps
crass, vulgar, tasteless and destructive, but the songs on 'Between the Buttons' represent a complete departure from this.
Some are cruelly mocking, others satirical, and in their quieter moments the
Stones take time out for a love song. Above all, they reflect upon the morals
of their contemporaries; the fall from and return to innocence of, as one
commentator put it, the ‘‘combine generation”.
'Ruby Tuesday'
is certainly their best lyric song; here, they offer a few of their own life,
guidelines that bear a healthy respect:
‘‘She just can’t be chained
/ to a life
where nothing’s gained
/ and
nothing’s lost,”
and
‘‘There’s no
time to lose, I heard her say.
/ Cast your dreams
before they slip away.
/ Dying all
the time, lose your dreams and you will lose your mind,
/ and life’s
unkind …”
There’s the
existential logic of 'She Smiled Sweetly':
‘‘There’s nothing in why or when; there’s no use trying; you’re here, begin again
...”.
In other
songs, most of them considerably faster and louder, rather unsubtle lines like
“My mouth is soaking wet” blurt out at you; however, some of their observations
are startlingly frank, but you’ve got to listen for them buried beneath all that
music.
The last
song, 'Something Happened To Me Yesterday',
is somewhat of a comic masterpiece. It is a riotously clever satire,
delightfully putting down the entertainment business, phony message songs,
perhaps even themselves —
Something very strange I hear you say,
You're talking in a most peculiar way.
But something
really threw me,
something all
so groovy.
something
happened to me yesterday.
He don't know
just where it's gone,
He don't
really care at all.
No one's sure
just what it was
Or the
meaning, end or cause.
SOMETHING !...
Jagger and
Brian Jones sing these daffy lyrics to the backing of a rinky-dink piano and a
hillarious Acker Bilk — Rainy Day Women — type brass section. It is easily the most effective piece on the record.
It isn’t
poetry and it isn’t the greatest music in the world, but 'Behind the Buttons' has a lot of swing and tone behind it, and it
is very precise and contemporary; some of it stings, well worth listening to.
