2001년즈음(이게 5년전이라니!) ATCQ의 후예들을 맹신하며 음악들을 듣고 있던 친구에게 소개를 받았다. 힙합명반이나 루츠 등의 다음 까페에서 몇 개의 글들이 올라오고 있었는데, 재미있는 얘기들을 거침없이 늘어놓는 사람들 덕분에 나역시 방안에서 조용히 열광하면서 space age의 jazz의 미래스러운 과거? 과거스러운 미래?에 빠져들고 있었다.
당시의 주류엮던 folk음악들 역시 어이가 없을 정도로 아련한 느낌의 기발한 시도들로 웅성거리고 있었나보다. Fred Neil이 눈에 띈다.

Lee Hazlewood's The Pope's Daughter His Fantasy Life with Nancy and Other Sinatra's by Lee Hazlewood |
WHAT’S IT LIKE TO WORK WITH A NANCY SINATRA? They ask it, and ask it, and when you have answered, they ask it again. And the ‘ahs’ and ‘ers’ come pouring from your mouth like so many miles of frozen string melting from each desperate tug of a left hand filled with warm adjectives. And because you will not free your sinful right hand (so happily engaged in mental masturbation), and swim for shore, you drown in a sea of sometimes kind, seldom clever, never interesting and mostly biased anecdotes. What’s it like to work with a Nancy Sinatra? It’s a visit to Disneyland, only your father owns all the rides. It’s an evening in the medicine cabinet of Edgar Allen Poe’s mother. It’s a trip on Superman’s cape and you are too frightened to look down for fear you’ll discover your real identity. It’s a Sousa march and the phallic cymbals are playing melody. It’s a plastic palace where all that glitters is gold. It’s a Las Vegas stage, sitting on a two-dollar stool in front of a fifty-two-piece orchestra, next to a lady in a five thousand-dollar gown; you’re singing a little flat and wondering if the fly is open on your eight-dollar ‘jeans’. It’s Beauty and the Beast selling a ‘fix’ to the Mickey Mouse People. It’s frustrating, foolish, Falstaffian, freaky, fucked-up and fun. So let us begin at the beginning |
