@halfmonk

yes, that's him

[NinetiesYouth]

@filthyrich77 not Ry Cooder, it's Alex Snouffer (St. Clair)

[filthyrich77]

@NinetiesYouth yes I think you're right

[filthyrich77]

@NinetiesYouth  yes I think you're right

@sting00 "Beefheart was the Hitler of Rock" That was a very foolish and irresponsible statement. How old are you ? Did you experience The Holocaust, The Hitler Youth, The SS, The Gestapo???

[TomGunnHill]

That dudes not Ry Cooder, thas Wyatt Earp bottlenecking!

Tom aka Billy The Kid

Yeah shut up and listen! This music is awesome its like its been put through a blender... its backwards its at a tangent to normal music...mindblowing! The Captain lives on!

Amazing performance but was the camera man stoned? He concentrates on the bassist too much and doesn't hardly show the contrast where it is being filmed to the point that the Capt. looks at him a couple of times as if to say, "Do you know what you're doing?"

[Gorrrz]

shut up and listen!

@cottageorgan, all non-Congoids/Australoids have at least 2% Neanderthal dna; so technically sub-Saharan Africans and Australian aboriginies are a different species than Asians and Caucasians. "Race" predates humanity. All life on this earth goes back to one molecule, so what's your point?

Your world view, if it could be called that, has been convienently shoved down your throat at school, thru hollywood and television etc. The fact that you listen to Beefheart doesn't change that

[cottageorgan]

@DIEversity401 Who mentioned LSD? Haplogroups...big word, I'm impressed. We all share the same DNA, tracing right back to the first people to step out of Africa, and as you've obviously never been to The Netherlands, you would find it hard to see the differences culturally speaking with Austria. What indoctrination? What on Earth are you talking about? It's called having an opinion.

[DIEversity401]

@cottageorgan, well if you knew anything about dna haplogroups and CULTURE you would see that the Dutch and Austrians are both Germanic peoples. So if a person of Germanic ancestry is born in the USA his dna changes? Lay off the 'cid, fella.

I know the word "Hitler" or "racist" sets off a repulsive reaction in your lsd soaked noggin due to your indoctrination but you have to shake it off man. You don't have to be a lemming the rest of your days....Be a zig-zag wanderer...
