This bums me out something hard.
His "Safe as Milk" album is a big reason I'm hooked on the fuzz bass. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/407257...entertainment/

Actually, my dad dug him too. That's how I found out about him.
You should check him out mcsleazy. You can draw a straight line from Howlin Wolf-->Beefheart-->Sonic Youth & Tom Waits |

Sweeteest music this side of heaven.

'Milk' best.
RIP Captain
