Don Van Vliet, "˜Captain Beefheart,' Dies at 69

69 is my favorite number. The Captain was a true original. Saw him and the band in Portland Oregon back in 1981 just after Doc at the Radar Station came out.

Not hatin' (God rest his soul), but I never did understand his style of music.

The news made me dig out Clear Spot and put it on the turntable earlier this evening. A true original.

There had been so little news on him over the years. His health was terrible. The guy looked 69 on Ice Cream for Crow, and that was released in 1982!

'Safe as Milk' and 'Clear Spot' are both great and fairly uncomplicated.

"Hey Garland, I Dig Your Tweed Coat." So many great song titles.
