No more squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag.

As well as bagging himself a Julie Andrews, the great Blake Edwards was responsible for the definitive telling of the greatest joke in history:

Very sad to hear of Captain Beefheart leaving this earth.  :(
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

Misanthrope

Damn, the captain's dead.

He was fast and bulbous.
Did you know Christ was a werewolf?

So upsetting to read the sad news that the great Captain Beefheart is no longer with us.

Colin YNWA

Very sorry to hear about Captain Beefheart.

Likewise brilliant colourist Adrienne Roy at 57.

Nobody wrote better songs about dinosaurs than the Captain.  Sorry to hear of his passing.

Hoagy

Not great news is the passing of Beefheart.

Time fo rme to finally get around to buying some Beefheart, I suppose. The guy's musical antics always made me smile. Especially 'Ice Cream For Crow'.

He was a one-off alright, no mistake about that.
Check out my DA page! Point! Laugh!

I chucked some Beefheart links on the YouTube Gold page.

Very limited amount of his music online and his best stuff isn't on Spotify, though there is some great earlier stuff:

amongst much more.

I actually have to limit how much I play some Beefheart as it plays over in my mind and stops me sleeping.

This is the vid that got me into Beefheart. What a performer - !

I liked one of his albums that many consider to be his worst which is Bluejeans And Moonbeams.This was it was a lot more commercial and accessible than his more experimental and awkward music which i dont really enjoy.

THats why some people consider this his worst.
Probably why I class mid 90's to mid 2000's Metallica utter shite as they sold out and cashed in, which they have openly admitted.
I am not saying Beefheart sold out. He was maybe trying to reach a wider audience.

Peace is a lie, there's only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

Those "commercial" Beefheart albums are still good no matter what the critics say. The sacred cow I always thought was a bit rubbish is of course Trout Mask Replica, the emperor has no clothes. Everthing else he did before or since is far better.


Metallica went shite after ...Justice. Too much money is a terrible thing, 'nuff said.
