And while I flatter myself in thinking you know me as a man not prone to get overly excited about digital-remastering projects, nevertheless there are instances in which the beauty of the original song lay precisely in a primary attempt to expose its elements, and in these cases the additional stripping away of hiss and other shit can be revelatory, or in this instance (Best Ever: Buddy Holly, Techniche 2009), transformative.<\/p>\n<p>That plane crash was a Hindenburg of pop. It\u2019s taken me into my midthirties to mentally recover the true damage of it from Don McLean\u2019s rhymes. Ever really listen to \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Jp6j5HJ-Cok\">La Bamba<\/a>\u201d? You\u2019ve probably unconsciously sold yourself on the idea that the Los Lobos version is slightly superior. Not so! It&#8217;s not the guitar, either, but the voice. When angels sing rock for fun they sound like Ritchie Valens. Did you know it\u2019s Carol Kaye playing rhythm guitar there? Did you know Valens was seventeen when he died, that \u201cLa Bamba\u201d hadn\u2019t even been released yet? Snowy field in northern Iowa, flames.<\/p>\n<p>If you listen to the live versions of &#8220;La Bamba,&#8221; Valens played it  basically like a sped-up Mexican folk song. Only in the studio did the  ecstatic thing happen&#8211;at the point of intersection. I read somewhere  that Valens didn&#8217;t even like it.<\/p>\n<p>On \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/09-Not-Fade-Away.m4a\">Not Fade Away<\/a>,\u201d Jerry Allison plays a cardboard box (he\u2019d ripped the idea from Buddy Knox\u2019s lyrically creepy \u201cParty Doll\u201d). The beat is cartoonishly African. If you want to hear where it came from, listen to the song I hope to keep if the people in charge of the survival pod say you can keep only one, Charles Barnett\u2019s \u201cRun to My Jesus for Refuge.\u201d Barnett was a Georgia man in his nineties. Alan Lomax met him at the end of a sand lane near the Sea Islands, right around the time Buddy Holly was making his song. Lomak asked, \u201cKnow Any Tunes?\u201d. Barnett flipped a washtub over and  started beating on it with two sticks, playing some of the most tenth-dimensional counterpoint you\u2019ve ever heard, with galloping runs that suddenly freeze into cosmic pauses. \u201cMary, she wore a golden chain, \/ Every link was Jesus\u2019 name. \/ I\u2019m gonna run to my Jesus for refuge.\u201d Supposedly Barnett could still jump into the air and click his heels together, at ninety-he-didn\u2019t-even-know-what.<\/p>\n<p>\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"574\" height=\"337\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/img.mail.ru\/r\/video2\/player_v2.swf?movieSrc=mail\/aloha-1\/38\/1859\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"574\" height=\"337\" src=\"http:\/\/img.mail.ru\/r\/video2\/player_v2.swf?movieSrc=mail\/aloha-1\/38\/1859\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\"><\/embed><\/object>\n<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Every band who\u2019s ever covered \u201cNot Fade Away\u201d has made clowns of themselves, including the Stones and the Dead.

Just want to add that despite the overwhelming sexual current of this song\u2014and Lord knows the slashing two-and-a-half-note solo can make a person feel almost embarrassed\u2014there remains a wonderful and even mystical innocence to the lyrics, because \u201cdon\u2019t fade away\u201d was a thing the blues queens used to sing in the vaudeville shows. \u201cEasy, rider, don\u2019t you fade away,\u201d bawdy meaning clear enough, from the female point of view. When the male blues singers started singing, \u201cEasy, mama, don\u2019t you fade away,\u201d in the thirties, it was already not entirely clear what they meant. (Don\u2019t pass out?) The phrase gets rubbed and changed, the way emperors on Roman coins were turned into horses and whatnot by barbarian smiths. Here\u2019s Buddy, having no idea about any of that maybe, but knowing there&#8217;s something obscurely compelling about the idiom\u2014it\u2019s both irresistible to him and slightly off. Being a genius, he goes with it, all but into gibberish poetry. \u201cWell love is love and not fade away.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Lorin, A time comes when it\u2019s healthful to put aside obscurantism and turn to bedrock, if only briefly.
