I am Truely Bummed Out ...
Damn! Apparently Captain Beefheart (AKA Don Van Vliet) died from multiple sclerosis today.
Back during the mid 1990s, when the internet was new and wide open and uncontrolled, I stumbled across Don Van Vliet's home phone number. I was gonna give him a call and tell him how much I'd dug his music all these years, but it was a long distance call and I was afraid my wife would get pissed when she saw the phone bill.
I've always regretted not giving him a call when I had the chance, and now I regret it even more.
