The great man has moved on. I love his music, from the raspy Howlin' Wolf covers through the weird and experimental to this funky groove - with Winged Eel Fingerling on guitar.

 

Man I wish I had that much hair...

Aw man!! The Captain's dead?! I've known for some time, that he had MS, but I didn't know it was THAT bad!! That sucks! RIP Don!!

 

Here are a couple of my faves (off of his last album, 1982's "Ice Cream For Crow")

I didn't even get into Beefheart until the mid '90s when Joan Osborne sampled the opening riff from Clear Spot for Right Hand Man. These days I don't go a day without at least one Beefheart song ...

It's hard to choose, but this is probably my fave ...
