Chad and Jeremy – "Paxton Quigley's Had the Course" (1968)

Paxton Quigley’s had the course

And he’s feeling kinda run down

And he’s feeling kinda slowed down

Question Tarantino’s new movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, has numerous shots of theatre marquees and billboards featuring movies that might have been playing in Los Angeles on August 8, 1969 – the day when Tex Watson and three female Manson Family members saddled up and drove to Beverly Hills to kill the pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four others.

I remember most of those movies, which were released when I was in high school: 2001: A Space Odyssey, Candy, Funny Girl, Ice Station Zebra, The Illustrated Man, Mackenna’s Gold, The Night They Raided Minsky’s, Oliver!, Romeo and Juliet, Sweet Charity, and The Wrecking Crew (which starred Sharon Tate).

One of the more obscure movies that Tarantino namedrops in Once Upon a Time is Three in the Attic, a 1968 movie I vividly remember seeing at a drive-in theatre in my hometown when i was a teenager.

*     *     *     *     *

The star of Three in the Attic was a young actor named Christopher Jones – who was the James Dean of his day, but is now virtually forgotten.  

Jones, who had gone AWOL from the army to make a pilgrimage to Dean's family home in Indiana, was cast in a Broadway production of the Tennessee Williams’s The Night of the Iguana when he was barely 20 years old.  He then studied at the Actors Studio under the legendary "method acting" proponent, Lee Strasberg.  A few years later, Jones moved to Hollywood and landed the starring role in a short-lived TV series called The Legend of Jesse James, which aired on ABC in 1965-66.  

Christopher Jones as Jesse James

The actors who guest-starred on The Legend of Jesse James included Claude Akins, Charles Bronson, John Carradine, John Cassavettes, Jack Elam, Marietta Hartley, Dennis Hopper, Sally Kellerman, George Kennedy, Strother Martin, Kevin McCarthy, Slim Pickens, Kurt Russell, Ann Sothern, and many others who anyone who watched a lot of movies and TV shows in the sixties will remember.

*     *     *     *     *

Christopher Jones’s first movie was Wild in the Streets, an American International Pictures production that was released on May 29, 1968 – the day before my 16th birthday.

American International Pictures – or AIP – specialized in making low-budget drive-in movies aimed at teenagers.  AIP's most famous director/producer was Roger Corman, who is best known for his series of horror movies based on Edgar Allan Poe stories that starred Vincent Price but who also made  western, sci-fi movies, motorcycle movies, gangster movies, and women-in-prison movies.  The young directors who cut their moviemaking teeth on Corman productions included Peter Bogdanovich, James Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, Jonathan Damme, Ron Howard, John Sayles, and Martin Scorsese.

In Wild in the Streets, Jones plays rock star Max Frost, who is asked to endorse a Kennedyesque Senate candidate who wants to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 (which actually happened three years after the movie’s release, when the 26th Amendment was ratified).  But when Frost performs at a televised rally for the candidate, he shocks his sponsors by proposing a more radical revision of the voting age in a song called “Fourteen or Fight.”

Christopher Jones as Max Frost

Max's anthem triggers massive protests and demonstrations throughout the country.  His girlfriend is elected to Congress, where she introduces a constitutional amendment to allow 14-year-olds not only to vote, but to hold political office.

Max's allies spike the Washington, DC water supply with LSD, and the amendment passes.  Max is later elected President, and his administration rounds up everyone over 35 (including his mother, memorably portrayed by Shelley Winters) and sends them to “re-education” camps where they are given daily doses of LSD and live happily ever after.  

Click here to listen to “The Shape of Things to Come,” the best song in Wild in the Streets.  (It was written by the husband-wife songwriting team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, who also wrote “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” “On Broadway,” “We Gotta Get Out of This Place,” “Kicks,” and many other hits.)

*     *     *     *     * 

In Three in the Attic, a movie guaranteed to inflame the fantasies of male teenagers like moi even more than Wild in the Streets, Jones played a college student named Paxton Quigley, who picked up women as thoughtlessly (and about as frequently) as most men pick up the TV remote.  

Unfortunately, three different women he is simultaneously “dating” figure out what’s going on and decide to gang up on him.

Here's where Three in the Attic gets really good.  You know how the three women decide to avenge Paxton's infidelity?  They lure him to the dormitory where one of them lives and lock him in the attic.  Then they take turns having around-the-clock sex with him.  That’s his punishment – I kid you not!

Christopher Jones as Paxton Quigley

Apparently this is too much of a good thing for even a healthy young male like Paxton, who is quickly worn to a frazzle.  But after a couple of weeks, Paxton's absence from class is noticed, and rumors about what is going on in the attic get back to the college's dean.   Paxton is released from captivity just in the nick of time and is taken to the hospital to recover from his ordeal.

Three in the Attic, which was filmed on the UNC campus in Chapel Hill, has a remarkably bad script.  My favorite line in the movie is the one Paxton uses to pick up Yvette Mimieux: “You have nice hair – it fits the mood of your butt.”  (Her response is scornful – “You're infinitely boring” – but it’s not long before the two are bumping uglies.)

*     *     *     *     *

In 1970, Jones appeared in a serious, big-budget movie – Ryan's Daughter, a romantic drama set in Ireland during World War I and based very loosely on the novel Madame Bovary.  

Ryan's Daughter was directed by the legendary David Lean – who also directed the epics The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Doctor Zhivago – and also starred Robert Mitchum, Trevor Howard, John Mills (he's the village idiot), and Sarah Miles.

Miles) in “Ryan’s Daughter”

The role of the young British army officer that went to Jones was originally written for Marlon Brando.    Peter O’Toole, Richard Harris, and Richard Burton were also considered for the role, but for some reason Lean decided he wanted Jones.  

Ryan’s Daughter was being filmed when the pregnant Sharon Tate was murdered.  Tate was married to director Roman Polanski, but Christopher Jones later claimed that he was the father of Tate’s baby.

*     *     *     *     *

After Ryan’s Daughter, Christopher Jones simply walked away from his movie career.  He moved back to Los Angeles and devoted his energy to painting and to being a father to his five children.

In 1994, Quentin Tarantino asked Jones to appear in Pulp Fiction.  Jones turned the offer down.  

But in 1996, Jones did a cameo in a crime movie called Mad Dog Time, which featured Jeff Goldblum, Richard Dreyfuss, Gabriel Byrne, Ellen Barkin, Diane Lane, Burt Reynolds, Richard Pryor, Billy Idol, Paul Anka, and Rob Reiner – among others.  

One reviewer said the film was “jaw-droppingly incoherent.”  Siskel and Ebert picked it as the worst movie of the year, and Ebert said it was “the first movie I have seen that does not improve on the sight of a blank screen viewed for the same length of time.”  (I wish I had written that line.)  

That was apparently enough for Jones – he never appeared in another film. 

*     *     *     *     *

The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood soundtrack includes the Chad and Jeremy song, “Paxton Quigley’s Had the Course,” which was written for the Three in the Attic soundtrack.  (The song was titled after the novel that the movie is based on.)

The song is very reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Graduate.  Since that movie was released months earlier than the Chad and Jeremy album that included the “Paxton Quigley” song was released, I’m guessing that if anyone stole from anyone else, it was Chad and Jeremy who stole from Simon and Garfunkel, and not vice versa.  But you never know.

Roy Head and the Traits – "Treat Her Right" (1965)

She’s gonna love you tonight now

If you just treat her right now

I’m not a young man, and my prostate isn’t what it used to be.  So I purposely didn’t buy a drink to take into the theatre where I recently saw the new Quentin Tarantino movie – Once Upon a Time in Hollywood – which is a bladder-busting two hours and forty-five minutes long.  

Once Upon a Time includes everything but the kitchen sink . . . and Tim Roth’s performance.  

Roth made memorable appearances in three previous Tarantino movies (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and The Hateful Eight), so it’s no surprise that he was signed up for Once Upon a Time.  

But Roth’s character ended up on the cutting-room floor.  His name is listed in the credits, but there’s nary a frame of 35mm film of Roth in the final cut of Once Upon a Time.

But be of good cheer!  Rumor has it that Tarantino plans to release a four-hour-long version of the movie that will include not only Roth’s missing scenes but also a bunch of other stuff he felt compelled to cut from the version of the movie that’s currently appearing in theatres.

The Ringer’s Miles Surrey recently ranked the 20 most prominent characters in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.  I think he did a pretty good job.

The #1 and #2 spots, of course go to the film’s two megastars, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt.  I love the always-likable Pitt’s loosey-gooseyness, but DiCaprio’s performance as a fading network-TV leading man is remarkable.  

DiCaprio and Pitt

Leo is usually a little too cool for school, but he absolutely disappears within one of the Western bad guys he depicts in Once Upon a Time.  (If I had seen only his scenes as that character, I’m not sure I would have recognized him as DiCaprio.)

Surrey also gives high marks to Margot Robbie (who portrays Sharon Tate), to eight-year-old scene-stealer Julia Butters, and to Pitt’s ugly pit bull (who saves the day when the Charles Manson crew comes calling).  Fair enough.

But Margaret Qualley deserves a much higher ranking.  Qualley, the most memorable of the several dozen Manson Family girls depicted in the movie, is simply irresistible as a hippie Lolita with dirty feet and hairy armpits.  When she hitches a ride with Pitt’s character and immediately propositions him, Pitt asks to see her driver’s license to make sure she is of age – a display of superhuman self-discipline that is as impressive as it is implausible.

Margaret Qualley

Surrey is absolutely right to rank Lena Dunham (who portrays another Manson Family girl) dead last.  

It’s not exactly a tough call.

“Treat Her Right,” a 1965-era stick of dynamite, kicks off the Once Upon a Time soundtrack.

If you didn’t know better, you might think that “Treat Her Right” was an Elvis Presley song.  But Elvis never released a record this good.

Roy Head’s not only a great singer but a great dancer – click here to watch a mind-blowing TV performance of “Treat Her Right.”  (Eat your heart out, James Brown.)

Please note that Head is wearing a tie and a buttoned suit jacket.  Despite his frenetic dancing, there’s not a hair on his Brylcreemed head out of place at the end of his performance. 

“Treat Her Right” made it all the way to #2 on the Billboard “Hot 100” in 1965.  The song that kept it out of the #1 spot was “Yesterday.”  (Really?)

As political commentator Charlie Sykes once said, “Life isn’t fair.  Get used to it.”

Derek and the Dominos – "Tell the Truth" (1970)

Hear what I say, ’cause every word is true

You know I wouldn’t tell you no lies

I’ve known for a long time that Dave Mason is a pretty big deal in the world of classic rock.

But it didn’t hit me until recently that Dave Mason’s a REALLY big deal in that world.

Dave Mason in 1970

Sometimes I’m a little slow on the uptake.

*     *     *     *     *

Anyone who knows anything about the history of rock music knows that Dave Mason was a founding member of the sixties supergroup, Traffic.  He went on to have a successful solo career.  (Five of his solo albums went gold or platinum, and his 1977 single, “We Just Disagree,” was a big radio hit.)

But let’s see how much you really know about Dave Mason.

1.  True or false: Dave Mason was a close friend of Jimi Hendrix, and played 12-string guitar on “All Along the Watchtower” (which was Jimi’s highest-charting American single).

Dave Mason with Jimi Hendrix

2.  True or false: Dave Mason played the shehnai (an Indian reed instrument) on the Rolling Stones’ 1968 record, “Street Fighting Man.”

3.  True or false: Dave Mason and Eric Clapton toured with Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, and performed on their classic live album, On Tour with Eric Clapton.

4.  True or false: Dave Mason recorded an album with Mama Cass Elliott that was released in 1971.

5.  True or false: Dave Mason played guitar (along with Eric Clapton and George Harrison) on “Beware of Darkness” – the best song on Harrison’s hugely popular solo album, All Things Must Pass.  

6.  True or false: Dave Mason wrote the song “Feelin’ Alright” for Traffic, which has been covered by (among others) Three Dog Night, the Jackson 5, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Grand Funk Railroad, Isaac Hayes, Lulu, Lou Rawls, Rare Earth, and – most famously – Joe Cocker.

7.  True or false: Dave Mason was an original member of Derek and the Dominoes.

Time’s up, boys and girls – put those pencils down!

Here are the correct answers:

1. True

2. True

3. True

4. True

5. True

6. True

7. True

So how did you do?

*     *     *     *     *

A few days ago, I saw the Dave Mason Band open for Hot Tuna at the Warner Theatre in downtown Washington, DC.

I had a great seat thanks to my friend Tony Patler, who has been Mason’s keyboards guy since 2009.  (Tony is an accomplished and versatile keyboard player who toured and/or recorded with Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Chaka Khan, Patti Labelle, Smokey Robinson, the Temptations, Michael McDonald, George Michael, and many others before hooking up with Mason.)

Dave Mason and Tony Patler

I’ve seen Mason’s band perform a couple of other times, but I had forgotten what a virtuoso guitarist Mason is.  I think of him mostly as a singer and songwriter, but you’ve got to be a pretty good guitar player if guys like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and George Harrison ask you to play on their records.

The only thing about the concert that was a bit off-putting was how old my fellow audience members were.

Many of them were not only old, but badly dressed:

*     *     *     *     *

“Tell the Truth” is my favorite song from the one and only Derek and the Dominos album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.  

What you may not know is that the version of “Tell the Truth” that is included in that album isn’t the original Derek and the Dominos recording of that song.  

In June 1970, the band – which included Dave Mason – played “Tell the Truth” at its first concert, which took place in London.  A few days later, the song became the first one that Derek and Dominos ever recorded.  

The band was unhappy with that version of the song – which Phil Spector had produced – and decided to re-record “Tell the Truth” for the Layla album.  By then, Dave Mason was no longer part of Derek and the Dominoes.

The “Tell the Truth”single

But someone forgot to tell the band’s American record company, Atco Records, which released the original version as a single in the U.S. just two weeks after the new version was recorded.  (Atco quickly pulled the single.)

Sweetwater – "What's Wrong" (1968)

What's wrong with our folks? . . .

What’s wrong in their head?

Won’t they just try to see it once our way instead?

If it wasn’t for bad luck, Sweetwater wouldn’t have had any luck at all.

Sweetwater was an eight-member band from Los Angeles that was supposed to be the opening act at the Woodstock Music and Art Festival, which took place 50 years ago this month.

But they got stuck in traffic, so Richie Havens opened Woodstock instead.  He ended up performing for three hours – after he played every song he knew and there was still no one available to take his place on stage, he improvised a song based on the traditional spiritual, “Motherless Child.”  

Sweetwater performing at Woodstock

Havens called the improvised number “Freedom,” and it ended up being included in the Woodstock documentary movie and on the Woodstock soundtrack album.  On the strength of his Woodstock performance, Havens had a pretty successful career – he released four albums, appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, and even performed at President Bill Clinton’s 1993 inauguration.

Sweetwater eventually got to Max Yasgur’s farm – Woodstock’s promoters had them helicoptered in –  and they went on after Havens.  But they don’t appear in the documentary movie, and none of their songs are on the original soundtrack album.

In fact, there were no Sweetwater songs on the two-record Woodstock 2 album, and the group doesn’t appear in the almost four-hour-long director’s cut of the movie that was released in 2009.  

*     *     *     *     *

Missing out on possible stardom because of traffic was bad enough, but fate had an even crueler surprise in store for Sweetwater.

Nancy “Nansi” Nevins

A few months after Woodstock, Sweetwater’s front woman, Nancy “Nansi” Nevins, was in a serious car accident that resulted in severe injuries to her brain and vocal cords.  

The band recorded two albums without Nevins, but neither one sold well.

Nevins eventually recovered from the accident and recorded a solo album in 1975.  (Sweetwater was kaput by then.)  

She and two other original members of Sweetwater appeared at Woodstock ’94. 

Former The Mamas and the Papas member Michelle Phillips portrayed Nevins in a 1999 TV movie about Sweetwater.

*     *     *     *     *

Did you make it to Woodstock?  Neither did I.

If we had been there, we would have heard Nansi Nevins and Sweetwater play today’s featured song, which is one of the many anti-war songs that were performed there.  (That’s assuming we didn’t get hung up in traffic even longer than Sweetwater did.)

Keef Hartley Band – "Sinnin' for You" (1969)

Saw you on the corner with another man

A woman like you, I just can’t understand

In the last 2 or 3 lines, I introduced you to the most obscure of the 31 bands or individual musicians who performed at Woodstock 50 years ago this month – the Keef Hartley Band.

The Keef Hartley Band’s founder was English drummer Keith Hartley.  (Like Keith Richards, Hartley is known as “Keef” because some Brits pronounce “Keith” that way.

Keith (or "Keef") Hartley

Hartley got his first big break when Ringo Starr left Rory Storm and the Hurricanes to join the Beatles.  (Too bad Ringo didn’t stay where he was and give Hartley a chance to hook up with John, Paul, and George.)

He later played drums for British blues legend John Mayall before putting together the Keef Hartley Band, which released its first album – Halfbreed – just a few months before Woodstock.

Hartley sometimes dressed in a Native American outfit – complete with a full head-dress and war paint.

Here’s he is on the Halfbreed album cover:

*     *     *     *     *

Halfbreed was a big hit in the U.S., but it sold reasonably well for a debut album by an unknown band.

Most of the group’s members had never performed live in the states before following Santana at Woodstock.  It appears that their set was well received, but the band is MIA when it comes to the various versions of the Woodstock documentary that have been released over the years.

According to frontman Miller Anderson, that was because the group’s manager put the kibosh on their performance being filmed:

I remember being back stage [at Woodstock], waiting to go on, when a fella approaches me with a clipboard.  Turns out he’s with the people filming the show, and he starts asking me what numbers we’re doing, where the solos will be, etc.  

Up walks Johnny [Jones, our manager, who] asks what’s going on, then says something like, “Sorry you're not filming my boys without a written contract.” The guy says he doesn’t even know if the film will ever be made, but suggests it could turn out to be a memorable show, so getting it on film could be a wise move.  

Johnny wasn’t having any of it though, so the guy just tears up the notes he’d taken from me, and walks off.

(The opening sentence of The Good Soldier, Ford Madox Ford’s 1915 novel, is “This is the saddest story I have ever heard.”  I think Ford would have revised that sentence if he had lived long enough to hear Miller Anderson’s Woodstock tale.)

The comprehensive 38-CD audio box set released by Rhino Records earlier this summer (see above) does include much of the band’s Woodstock performance.  That made them the very last Woodstock performers to have their music included on a Woodstock album.

*     *     *     *     *

All of the songs that the Keef Hartley Band played at Woodstock were taken from Halfbreed, which was a straight-ahead electric blues album.  

Today we’re featuring the fifth track from the album, “Sinnin’ For You.”  Click here to listen to the studio album version of that song.

“Sinnin’ for You” was part of a 17-minute, 57-second medley that band played at Woodstock.

Keef Hartley Band – "Leaving Trunk" (1969)

Woke up singing the blues three different ways

One said, “Go!”

But the other two said, “Stay!”

This week marked the 50th anniversary of the legendary Woodstock music festival.

I didn’t go to Woodstock.  I was barely 17 years old when Woodstock took place, and living in Joplin, Missouri.  I’m not sure I was even aware of Woodstock until it was over, but it wouldn’t have mattered if I had – no way my parents would have let me go.

They were at Woodstock. Why weren't you?

What’s your excuse for not going to Woodstock?  

*     *     *     *     *

How many of the bands or individual musicians who performed at Woodstock can you name?  

The award-winning Woodstock documentary that was released in March 1970 was 185 minutes long, but included only 16 of the 31 performers who took the stage at the Woodstock festival.  

The three-LP soundtrack album that was issued a couple of months later also included songs by 16 different performers – but not the same 16 performers that appeared in the movie.  For some reason, Janis Joplin is in the movie but not on the soundtrack album, while the Paul Butterfield Blues Band isn’t in the movie but has a cut on the soundtrack album.

The original Woodstock soundtrack album

Here are the 15 acts whose performances were included in both the original 1970 version of the movie and the original 1970 soundtrack album:

Joan Baez

Canned Heat

Joe Cocker and the Grease Band

Crosby Stills Nash & Young

Country Joe and the Fish

Arlo Guthrie

Richie Havens

Jimi Hendrix

Jefferson Airplane

Santana

John Sebastian

Sha Na Na

Sly and the Family Stone

Ten Years After

The Who

I haven’t watched the movie or listened to the soundtrack in years, but I think I could have named all or almost all of those Woodstock performers – plus Janis Joplin and the Butterfield Blues Band.

That leaves 14 acts – some of them quite famous – who performed at Woodstock but whose performances weren’t included in the movie and/or the original soundtrack.  Until recently, I was unaware that most of them had appeared on the Woodstock stage.

*     *     *     *     *

Woodstock Two was a two-LP album released in 1971 that contained 16 additional songs that were performed at Woodstock.  Most of those tracks were by performers who were represented on the original soundtrack album, but Woodstock Two also included songs by two that weren’t: Melanie and Mountain.

(That leaves 12.)

*     *     *     *     *

A 224-minute-long “director’s cut” of the movie and a four-CD album titled Woodstock: Three Days of Peace and Music was released in 1994 to mark the 25th anniversary of Woodstock.  

The original Woodstock poster

The new album contained all the songs from the 1970 and 1971 Woodstock albums as well as tracks by The Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Tim Hardin, whose songs had not been included on either of the first two soundtrack albums.  

(That leaves nine.)

*     *     *     *     *

In 2009, the longer “director’s cut” of the movie was re-released in high definition along with a second DVD containing performances of 18 additional songs.  Shortly after the release of that version of the documentary, Rhino Records released a six-CD album titled Woodstock 40 Years On: Back To Yasgur's Farm.  

Those 2009 releases included songs by Blood Sweat & Tears, the Grateful Dead, the Incredible String Band, Quill, Ravi Shankar, Bert Sommer, Sweetwater, and Johnny Winter, whose Woodstock performances were missing from the earlier versions of the movie and the previously released soundtrack albums.

(Which leaves only one.)

*     *     *     *     *

Earlier this month, Rhino released 1,969 copies of a 38-CD, 432-song audio box set titled Woodstock – Back to the Garden: The Definitive 50th Anniversary Archive, which contains virtually every note played by the 31 performers who appeared at Woodstock – including the Keef Hartley Band, an obscure British band whose Woodstock performances were AWOL from every previous Woodstock album.  (We’re talk about why that was in the next 2 or 3 lines.)

The Keef Hartley Band

That 38-CD album – which retailed for $799.98 – quickly sold out.  But Rhino also issued a 10-CD album that includes one cut by the Keef Hartley Band.

That cut is a 17-minute, 57-second hot mess titled “Halfbreed Medley/Sinning For You/Leaving Trunk/Just To Cry/Sinning For You.”  

Halfbreed was the title of the Keef Hartley Band’s first album, and “Sinnin’ for You,” “Leaving Trunk,” and “Just to Cry” were tracks 5, 6, and 7 of that album.  Presumably the band went right from the first song into the second song, and then went right from the second song into the third song, and then finished up by circling back to the first. 

The Halfbreed album

Unfortunately, the recording of the band performing that medley at Woodstock isn’t available on Youtube.  

You can click here to listen to a 30-second sample from that performance.
