He was definitely an acquired taste. I wore out my copy of Trout Mask Replica years ago. If I'm not mistaken he quit music back in the 80s and became a successful visual artist. A very unique guy. He will be missed by those who knew of him. alpep Posted 2010-12-18 1:21 PM (#359234 - in reply to #359232) Subject: Re: RIP captain Beefheart Joined: December 2001 Posts: 10583 Location: NJ correct Ice cream for crow was his last LP I saw the dock at the radar station tour and it was memorable popcritic Posted 2010-12-18 1:37 PM (#359235 - in reply to #359232) Subject: Re: RIP captain Beefheart Joined: December 2002 Posts: 584 Location: atlanta I loved him so, so perhaps this is apropos… from The Spotlight Kid (1972): There Ain't No Santa Claus On The Evenin' Stage There ain’t no Santa Claus on the evenin’ stage There ain’t no way t’ pull the curtain ‘N hide from hunger’s rage There ain’t no town t’ stop in There ain’t no time t’ stop in There ain’t no straw for my horse There ain’t no straw for my bed There ain’t no comfort in cold boards There ain’t no rumours or food for my stomach ‘N someday I’m gonna be saved ‘Cause I gotta eat ‘n drink ‘n breathe ‘n sleep ‘N I’m ah slave Down in hominy’s grotto there’s ah soul die’n ‘n leavin’ Every second on the evenin’ stage There’s ah soul die’n ‘n rottin’ ‘n pickin’ Some new kinda cotton With his fingers broken ‘n his heart ‘n back forgotten There ain’t no Santa Claus on the evenin’ stage There ain’t no Santa Claus on the evenin’ stage There ain’t no way t’ pull the curtain ‘N hide from hunger’s rage There ain’t no town t’ stop in There ain’t no time t’ stop in There ain’t no straw for my horse There ain’t no straw for my bed There ain’t no comfort in cold boards There ain’t no rumours or food for my stomach ‘N someday I’m gonna be saved ‘Cause I gotta eat ‘n drink ‘n breathe ‘n sleep ‘N I’m ah slave Down in hominy’s grotto there’s ah soul die’n ‘n leavin’ Every second on the evenin’ stage There’s ah soul die’n ‘n rottin’ ‘n pickin’ Some new kinda cotton With his fingers broken ‘n his heart ‘n back forgotten There ain’t no Santa Claus on the evenin’ stage @Don Van Vliet FlicKreno aka Solid Top Posted 2010-12-18 10:33 PM (#359236 - in reply to #359232) Subject: Re: RIP captain Beefheart Joined: April 2006 Posts: 2491 Location: Copenhagen Denmark Saw Him in Norway in `77 .. colourful it was ..
