Introduction

Nik Cohn has chosen a grim and appropriate moment to make this brilliantly clear, aerial survey of the Pop World. Out in the audience, too many British teenagers are listening dutifully to their Government-approved diet of ballads and recipes: on stage, the scene is a little brighter. Key musicians are playing for other key musicians. The Beatles and the Stones, seemingly, have become too vast and trunkless ever to play at all. I hope this book will not be thought of in five years* time as the definitive history of a forgotten age. Fortunately, Nik is no obituarist: anyway, if he did write your obituary you’d be better off dead.

He showed up about 1965. The Beatles were into their first million, the disgruntled Rolling Stones were touring USA circuses, billed virtually as a freak show, and a nervous Carnaby Street tailor had just refused to put his scissors into a large Union Jack, which was meant to wind up as stage- clothes for the Who, when a thin young man - he looked about 14 - wearing carefully dirtied-down sneakers, grabbed me in Wardour Street and informed me that he was writing an article for the Sunday Times. I believed him a lot. He landed up in a Chinese restaurant, interviewing the Merseybeats.

But a major article did appear quite soon in the Sunday Times. It revealed a knowledge of Pop (and a rudeness about it) which was fairly frightening. Then came a series of tough and highly partisan record reviews in Queen. He mastered the art of the loving clinch which turned into the killing punch, making enemies along the line. There were accusations of intellectual - even cash - payola. But Nik just got forgiven without getting cynical.

He has been described as the speed-writer of Pop. Halfmartyr to his own myth, he sprints across the gilded landscape, although his feet are bleeding inside the carefully dirtied- down sneakers. At least, I hope they arc: you see he is very bright, he knows too much and he still doesn’t shave.

Modern pop began with rock ’n’ roll in the middle fifties and, basically, it was a mixture of two traditions - Negro rhythm 'n' blues and white romantic crooning, coloured beat and white sentiment.

What was new about it was its aggression, its sexuality, its sheer noise and most of this came from its beat. This was bigger and louder than any beat before it, simply because it was amplified. Mostly, pop boiled down to electric guitars.

Of course, electric guitars were nothing new in themselves - they had been around for years in jazz and R&B and had even been featured on some white hits, notably those by Les Paul, but they had never been used as bedrock, as the basis of a whole music. Crude, powerful, infinitely loud, they came on like space-age musical monsters and, immediately, they wiped out all of the politeness that had gone before.

Pre-pop, from the thirties on, dance music had got bogged down in the palais age - the golden era of the big bands, when everything was soft, warm, sentimental, when everything was make-believe.

It’s one of the cliched laws of showbiz that entertainment gets s...
