    R.I.P. Captain Beefheart

    Dead



    Goddamn its been a bad year for my artistic heroes
    First Frazetta now Beefheart
    I was profoundly influenced by this mans talent from a very young age.
    from the article:

    Mr. Van Vliet’s life story is caked with half-believable tales, some of which he himself spread in Dadaist, elliptical interviews. He claimed he had never read a book and had never been to school, and answered questions with riddles. “We see the moon, don’t we?” he asked in a 1969 interview. “So it’s our eye. Animals see us, don’t they? So we’re their animals.”

    He was an immensely underappreciated musician. RIP

      “I don’t like hypnotics. I’m doing a non-hypnotic music, to break up the catatonic state. And I think there is one, right now.” - Don Van Vliet to Paul Moyer, 1980
