  • Captain Beefheart is greatest thing to happen to music period

  • I like how Van doesn't try to act cool by being a douche like Dylan and Lou Reed...although when he starts talking weird in Beefheartesque style, well, that's just the man.

  • Met him the night this was aired at a local watering hole in Lancaster Ca.

  • I love most all classic blues, like Wolf, Leadbelly, Tampa Red, John Lee,etc. But this is crap. Just because you are weird doesn't make you good. Crap is crap.

  • Howlin Wolf was a big influence on both VanVliet and Zappa, and it has been said by both of them. However there is a lot more to Beefheart than a mere Howlin Wolf copyist.

  • Everyone says how original he was, he just makes me think of Howlin Wolf straight away. How come this is never mentioned?

  • Well isn't he just wonderful.

  • My clothes is so worn that my flesh bleeds through them.

  • @Jethrofinger Now this is the great news. Now, even Zappa fans' could say that Don really created something on his own: something that only Don could create.

    RIP Don Van Vilet forever in my mind...

  • 'its hard to talk', - this dude is so great

    'sorry girls' indeed.

  • @Jethrofinger And about time too! Beefheart must live....otherwise America dies! Greetings from the Welsh bit of North London
