huge fan. local public radio station celebrated him on his birthday (i think its in january) every year and I heard it during my senior year in high school. I dug it. first saw the cover of trout mask replica and couldn't stop laughing. some rough albums but some classics, too.

adios Spotlight Kid, Obeah Man, Zig Zag Wanderer.

RIP, and run, run, run to find a clear spot (sleepin' in the bayou on an old rotten cot).

You guys should really consider adding a senior citizen forum to this board.

Who the hell is Don Van Vliet?

Maybe we should add a remedial reading forum.

I've heard a couple stories regarding how Don Vliet (his given name - he added the "Van") took the name Captain Beefheart. One is that it was inspired by a strange uncle who would expose himself, squeeze his penis until the head turned purple, then comment about it looking "like a big ole' beef heart."
