Captain Beefheart RIP

RIP, I do miss The Cap'n! One of the most fiercely original musicians to EVER emerge from anywhere. I have fond memories of trying to turn friends of mine onto Beefheart, out of that bunch, 3 became fans over time (can still remember laughing my ass off at their reactions to tunes like "Ella Guru", "Hair Pie Bake 1", Harry Irene" and "Suction Prints") Had one now ex-friend that used to ridicule me mercilessly for liking Beefheart :D

To paraphrase his own song, looks like he went up to the mountain for the rest of his life, found him a cave and talked them bears into taking him in
