  • “Heretic Streak”: the Orwellian Aesthetic in Ray Davies' Song Writing And
    STUDIA HUMANISTYCZNE AGH Tom 15/2 • 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.7494/human.2016.15.2.7 Izabela Curyłło-Klag* Jagiellonian University in Krakow UTOPIA, DYSTOPIA AND THE “HERETIC STREAK”: THE ORWELLIAN AESTHETIC IN RAY DAVIES’ SONG WRITING AND OTHER CREATIVE PROJECTS The article explores the infl uence of Orwell’s fi ction on the creative output of Ray Davies, one of Britain’s fi nest songwriters and the erstwhile frontman of The Kinks, a ‘British Invasion’ group. The Davies oeuvre can be placed alongside Orwell’s work due to its entertainment value, sharpness of ob- servation and complex, confl icted socio-political sympathies. By balancing utopian visions with dystopian premonitions and by offering regular critiques of the culture they hold dear, Orwell and Davies represent the same tradition of cautious patriotism. They also share a similar aesthetic, communicating their insights through humour, self-mockery and acerbic wit. Keywords: Orwell, Ray Davies, pop culture, dystopia, utopia In the opening frame of a documentary on The Kinks, Hugh Fielder, a well-known English music critic, comments: “If George Orwell wrote songs, and was not a member of the socialist party, he’d be writing Ray Davies’ songs”. He then immediately checks himself: “Sorry, that’s a literary allusion, it’s probably gonna go whoosh” (The Kinks Story 2010: 3’21). Mentioning literature with reference to a British Invasion band is not exactly the done thing: rockers do not usually enthuse over writers, even if they share their love of words. Not long ago for instance, the frontman of Oasis declared that reading fi ction is a waste of time, and dismissed the whole publishing business as elitist, since it allows “people who write and read and review books [to put] themselves a tiny little bit above the rest of us” (Gallagher 2013).

    Follow the Kinks through the dark alleyways and passages of L O N D O N If you don’t have enough time to attempt The Great North London Kinks Tour, you might like to take in at least a few of the major Kinks locations in and around Muswell Hill, as described on the Jim Smart / Geoff Lewis Big Black Smoke site. Much of the research which has led to this route was carried out by Peter Ølgaard, Olga Ruocco and Jayne Morgan. Wherever you are starting from, get onto the Northern Line of the underground, and travel to Archway. Walk across to the Archway Tavern (22). Sadly it is not a proper pub any more, so no longer suitable for a quick drink to get your tour started Take a number 134 bus to Muswell Hill Broadway (8).On a clear fresh morning, Peter recommends the attractive ride up Muswell Hill Road. Ray Davies mentions in “X-Ray” riding the 134 down to Leicester Square, although nowadays the route only runs as far as Tottenham Court Road. Walk along Fortis Green (or take a 102 bus). You will pass Midhurst Avenue, where Ray and Rasa had their second home (anyone know which number?) After a while you will come to Denmark Terrace. Number 6 was the Davies family home (13). Directly opposite is the wonderful Clissold Arms (12). Have a few more beers and look at the Kinks exhibits on display there. Remember that time is tight - you may have trouble tearing yourself away. Continuing along Fortis Green, you see number 87, which was Ray and Rasa's third home (14).

Alongside your valuable insights and academic expertise, you were also supportive and understanding of a range of personal milestones which took place during the project. I would also like to extend my thanks to other members of the School of Music faculty who offered valuable insight during my research: Dr Kenneth Gloag; Dr Amanda Villepastour; and Prof. David Wyn Jones. My completion of this project would have been impossible without the support of my parents: Denise Arkell and John O’Connell. Without your understanding and backing it would have taken another five years to finish (and nobody wanted that). I would also like to thank my daughter Cecilia for her input during the final twelve months of the project. I look forward to making up for the periods of time we were apart while you allowed me to complete this work. Finally, I would like to thank my wife: Anne-Marie. You were with me every step of the way and remained understanding, supportive and caring throughout. We have been through a lot together during the time it took to complete this thesis, and I am looking forward to many years of looking back and laughing about it all. i Joseph O’Connell Contents Table of Contents Introduction 4 I.
