R.I.P. Don Glen Vliet, AKA Captain Beefheart. Another Superbeast bites the dust.
By all accounts the dude was a monumental asshole, but his music was a fount of creative genius. John Peel agrees.
"A psychedelic shaman who frequently bullied his musicians and sometimes alarmed his fans, Don somehow remained one of rock's great innocents".
Tom Waits wrote:
"Once you've heard Beefheart, it's hard to wash him out of your clothes. It stains, like coffee or blood."
