A Tip Of The Hat To The Spotlight Kid

Dec 19, 2010 00:46

Captain Beefheart died aged 69.  The first album I bought was an old American import of Safe As Milk, then Strictly Personal.  The rest is a history littered with amazement, enjoyment, and a continued listening to a back catalogue (though I could never, ever, get into Troutmask Replica - and believe me, I've listened to some seriously weird vinyl in my time.)

So now that the snow has settled, I've raised a small glass in honour of the Captain, and his memory will still keep the Big Eyed Beans from Venus alive.
