I got to meet Don and Jan at one of his concerts and interview him in his hotel room. When I ask for his autograph he draw a sketch of Rockette Morton which I framed. I was so blessed.

I am so grateful that Dave was so fascinated by the Captain. He is a genius musician and quite a character. I can tell through my own interactions with similar folks that he is very high on the autistic spectrum...one of the keys is to watch when he asked a question...he seems puzzled and then offers an answer which may be germane but often he will find an "item" which in his mind is relevant but will not appear to be, to everyone else. I love that Dave is able to roll with him as that is something most interviewers would not be able to handle...even going along with his fanciful tale of his upbringing. He went to high school.

@MrFreedomGotAnAK 5 месяцев назад

In my book, Beefheart was the most important musical figure in the United States in the 20th century. Trout Mask Replica is possibly the greatest rock album of all time, but Mirror Man is up there as well for me and it is very underrated. He had the blues in his bones but as a true artist he was able to transcend it even further. Mad, but genius.

Don's artistic audience was in Europe, where he knew he would be taken seriously. 'This is a song from.... Doc at the Radar Station...' - he didn't always know. His paintings were about the inside coming out. And that's why he remains an inspiration.

I saw Captain Beefheart with Frank Zappa sometime in the mid 1970's. I saw him again around 1981 at a place called Center Stage in East Providence Rhode Island (where I'm origin]ally from). I think it was the tour for The Shiny Beast Album. The music was great. His music is very creative and a bit strange but very cool. The band played great and it was a different experience hearing them play his music live and also his voice was perfect.

Don is a genius... Trout Mask Replica

@lanceash 2 месяца назад

You know, I'd seen him on Letterman as a teenager, but didn't know who the hell he was. Then one day when I was about 22, I was out shoplifting at Kmart and saw Trout Mask among the CDs. I didn't know anything about it, but I saw "Produced by Frank Zappa" on the back and I knew I had to have it. I think most people would have recoiled on first hearing that album, but when I played it, I knew, I KNEW, this was exactly what I needed. And the cover! The front, the back, the pictures of the band inside. Reminded me of the pictures included in Hot Rats. That picture of Don holding the space age vacuum cleaner. Some have made the claim that Don was a bigger influence on Frank than the other way around and I think that's true. I think Frank had these artistic/aesthetic leanings, but he didn't know how far you could push it until he met Don. But Frank had a head for business and Don didn't.
