Topic: Paul Garon

	Book (Metro Times Detroit)
		Garon sees Wheatstraw — who was born William Bunch in either 1902 or 1904 and who died in a car crash in 1941 — as a seminal influence in the development of the blues and he presents his case convincingly.
		Garon places Wheatstraw in the context of his time and place, describing the 1917 East St. Louis race riot (the worst of the century, he says), the folly of Prohibition and the corrosiveness of the Depression — and sees in the singer’s often aggressively defiant songs a more positive than downtrodden reaction.
		Garon quotes a lot of lyrics — in fact, if you take away the lyric quotes, the archival photos, the newspaper clippings and the surrealistic illustrations, the already short book would be about a quarter of its present length — and he’s well aware that these quotes are diminished versions of the actual songs.

	Racism and the Blues
		For example, Garon writes, "What many of the critics of magazine coverage are driving at is that they and their accomplices would like to receive coverage in Living Blues, principally because it is the pioneering magazine that covers fl artists, i.e.
		Garon argues from his own personal bias (or guilt) that people who suggest Living Blues and Garon have a racist (or, let's say, ignorant) policy are somehow thus proving his point merely by raising the issue and are admitting so-called white blues isn't valid when, in reality, they are simply pointing out his errors.
		Garon's extrapolation that if music was all that mattered, we'd never go to concerts makes you want to lie down and put a cold towel on your forehead.

	Paul Oliver Tribute
		Paul Oliver's magnificent contributions to blues history and scholarship is even more impressive when we consider that the field in which he was trained and taught for many years is architecture rather than music.
		Paul is a serious fan and supporter of blues, a writer, researcher, record producer, and so forth, who never was interested in self-promotion, nor was he interested in exploiting the artists and making money from their careers.
		Paul Oliver told the story of the blues by enlightening sleeve notes, by the publication of essential photographic images, by conducting unique interviews with now legendary blues artists, by revealing rare sources, by analysing obscure lyrics and by stimulating young blues scholars who wanted to follow in his footsteps.

	Temple of Blues Forums -> Robert Johnson Mystery (Paul Garon)
		Paul Oliver is no slouch when it comes to blues research, and his theory is all the more interesting when thought of in tandem with Wyman's.
		The Garons are very warm and thoughtful folks, and I certainly consider myself fortunate to have met and talked with them at length.
		Later, Paul Vernon, in his British humor/auction/blues magazine, Sailor's Delight, released the first photos of Robert Johnson, and it was soon realized to be a hoax, although a good one.

		His real name is Riley B. King, but the B.B. stands, as any aficionado knows, for Blues Boy, a nickname he was given in the late 1940s when he was a disk jockey in Memphis, Tenn. Of course, he's best known as the King of the Blues to millions of fans throughout the world.
		Paul Garon knows the blues, from the music itself to the poetry and psychology that are the impetus of its creation.
		The author of biographies of such blues icons as Peetie Wheatstraw and Memphis Minnie, Garon focuses on the social and political elements that have evolved the blues over the last several decades, exploring the blues as a "psychopoetic" contribution to American music and history.

		Garon's book is considered essential for any blues-o-phile.
		It's more a look at the lyrics and their implications than the music itself, but Garon's insights are worth reading, arguing and discussing amongst yourselves.

		Garon's approach is different than standard biographies that linearly track a subject from birth to death.
		Garon devotes a great deal to analyzing Wheatstraw's lyrics in an attempt to glean insights into not only his personality but also his identity.

		It integrated a diverse range of influences from inside and outside of the visual arts, and is tied to the Surrealist movement by history and in its focus on the depicting the subconscious, and juxtaposition of disparate visual ideas.
		In 1935 he authored A Short Study of Surrealism, and then returned to England during the war, where he roomed with Lucian Freud, and continued to write in the Surrealist style during the rest of his lifetime.
		Although Breton initially responded rather negatively to the subject of music with his essay "Silence is Golden," later surrealists have been interested in, and found parallels to surrealism in, the improvisation of jazz (as alluded to above), and the blues (surrealists such as Paul Garon have written articles and full-length books on the subject).

		As Rosemont puts it in the course of his discussion of the inherently subversive core of the blues, "Notwithstanding the whimpering objections of a few tired skeptics, this revolt cannot be 'assimilated' into the abject mainstream of American bourgeois/Christian culture except by way of dilution and/or outright falsification.
		These two plaudits must be particularly gratifying to Garon since he has always insisted that the blues must be discussed first and foremost as a fl poetry of resistance to racist oppression and Eurocentric notions of white supremacy.
		As Garon says in his book, "Poetry, kindled by desire, is the light that can dispel the pallor of bourgeois civilization.

		Paul Garon, of Race Traitor and Living Blues, has strong feelings about White Blues.

		Blues scholar Paul Garon's important and abun-dantly illustrated study-drawing on his own extensive interviews with Wheatstraw's relatives, and fellow musicians-brings the exciting Wheatstraw saga to life at last.
		With insight and imagination, Garon explores Peetie Wheatstraw's crucial role not only in blues history, but also in African American urban mythology (he was, for example, a pivotal character in Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man), and-via a penetrating analysis of song lyrics-his appreciable contributions to blues poetry and to vernacular surrealism.
		Garon is especially impressive in his command of a vast body of blues lyrics and his ability to isolate and to digest the meaning of the most striking images in these lyrics." -David Roediger

		"Here lies the revolutionary nature of the blues," Paul Garon asserts: "through its fidelity to fantasy and desire, the blues generates an irreducible and, so to speak, habit-forming demand for freedom...." (54).
		Paul and Beth Garon suggest that "what Minnie seems to be doing here is only mimicking men's fetishization of penis size, pretending to want what the man thinks women desire in a man" (109).
		It stands at the centre of a growing body of work that begins, loosely, with Albertson's biography and Lieb's study of Ma Rainey and extends into the present with Harrison's Black Pearls, Garon and Garon's Woman with Guitar, and Davis's Blues Legacies and Black Feminism.
