@MegaYoshitsune I always understand but never quite agree with all the Tom Waits/Captain Beefheart comparisons. Both have growly voices, both explore blues music in a wholly innovative way, both love their surrealist lyrics and wacky rhythms, but their artistic sensibilities are SO INCREDIBLY different.

PLUS THE MAGIC BAND WAS RIDICOLOUS (sic)

I agree with RedVynil....& yes, that boy did seem like a friggin' genius....@ least 2 me!!...:-)

@RedVynil True, I mean, Tom Waits is good, but Beefheart just blows away pretty much everyone. And I agree about his worst album, that still has Party of Special Things to Do and Observatory Crest which I think are really good despite the fact than some songs on there are a bit, "questionable." Beefheart always seemed kinda crazy, yet he also seemed like a genius.

@MegaYoshitsune The only shitty Beefheart was when he was on Mercury. And there's even a few of those songs that are good!
Tom Waites can't hold a candle to Beefheart!!

I love this song, and so does Tom Waits. Captain Beefheart almost always had brilliant lyrics in his songs.
-
