captain beefheart interview

FUc666 Genius !.

that's why, I guess

Thanks for some transcription, I find it difficult to understand. Wish I could

@Islwynpaul
everything that comes from this man is part of his art, being drawings, songs or interview answers.

Beefheart wouldn't fit into todays society. Most people would think he's crazy, drunk, or on drugs etc.. Like his music though.

He's another *real* BIG DEAL and, if anybody bothers to notice, he's like all the other *real* BIG DEALS in that he didn't come out of any GREAT INSTITUTION for his craft -- they never do get spawned by GREAT INSTITUTIONS for what they do, they just do it!

Really interesting guy. Awesome drawing at 1:49. Reminds me a lot of his music.

Trout Mask embodies Beefheart. Respect.

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.

"captian, why dont you go commercial?"

"i dont know - either i'm too smart or i'm too dumb"

genius.

this man has an innocence (or should that be purity?), truth and depth that goes way beyond other artists. i cant think of too many others that are in the same league as the don.
