"Don Van Vliet: Some YoYo Stuff" Part 2/2

[stillspider]

I'm a bit of a Yo Yo myself.

[antmanbee1]

Brilliant! (I have no idea what's going on)

I love you Captain, RIP!

...but who's left to fuck with the art critics now?

[UrbanGuerilla88]

It breaks my heart to hear him like this.But im in awe of his interlect and wisdom. RIP

[gezunder]

we all live on god's golfball

[Stube437]

i think piano playing is TDBFnTDBB...in some form or other. anyone know where it's from?

[atariboy666]

BOO! love ya don . . .

[stonesfcr]

buuu!!!!

[zerominusno]

RIP (cry)

[mandernooga]

Boo! to you too... and R.I.P. beloved Beefheart... my hero.

[simonjamesconstable]

It makes me feel sad to see him like this, but I love that his laugh sounds so free.

[scandinavianserialki]

I love his comment about Roland Kirk

[oldtucepi]

The only place you can get ribs this time of nite in L.A. is the bible Roland.

Something only the Captain could think of.

Such a gentle and fragile person, almost ashamed to be human. Thank God for people like Mr. Van Vliet.

[gezunder]

@oldtucepi makes me proud to be human

[Ziplock74]

it seems like he may have possibly suffered a stroke.

[kboy20]

@Ziplock74

I think his speech problem was the result of the multiple sclerosis...which I didn't know he had until today.

[Ziplock74]

@kboy20 Yes, that would explain his speech. but notice how he only uses one hand.

[ESpeigel]

whats that bit of piano around 3:25? its sounds like a cover of something off of TMR

[brassaflax]

@ESpeigel it's a paino version of evening bell i think, it is on the grow fins box set.

[TIPPERBLK]

2:59

[TheMaxlow]

the chinese and there pussy problem

[klummp]

yes i hope we will be informed when Don does pass on =(

[Billcot1]

I smiled the whole way through this

[deliman]

don was 52 in this video....he looks like a man in his mid-60s.

makes you wonder how hes doing now...

[TheKeswickGallagher]

@deliman he'll be 70 probably this year and he's probably not doing very well sadly.

[meleepinata]

Don was amazing and still is wherever he may be. Even in his very ill health in this video, his poetic prowess still remains. His abstract humor is timeless.

[Namrehtulip]

Don van Vliet ( real name : Don ( second name: Glen) Vliet, the '' van " is added later) was ill .

Some say he has died but that is never confirmed by anyone.

The rumors about Don appearing over at Safeway in 2007 is completely unsubstantiated.

[lordevilvenom]

I just hope Jan would let us all know if Don passed on.

[mezmiester]

@lordevilvenom I'm pretty sure he's still alive, the reason I say this is because of his paintings. They would be selling all over the place after his passing.

[TempusTransit]

It's not sad; it's beautiful. Everybody dies. Few have the gift of dying gracefully and without holding on to lies and vanity as he did. Death is life. He knew this.

[dierobotsdiee]

@TempusTransit actually he's alive

[obgyno]

@dierobotsdiee he died today december 17 2010

[JUGAopet1]

@TempusTransit So true, thaks for nice words.

[phatbassman]

so sad and so inspiring at the same time.
