RIP: Captain Beefheart (b. Donald Glen Vliet - January 15, 1941 – December 17, 2010)

Don Van Vliet, who became a rock legend as Captain Beefheart, died today from complications from multiple sclerosis in California.


Yes, I hate Justin Bieber precisely because true artists like Capt. Beefheart get shunned while snot-nosed, no talent, no vision little pricks get their hands held into super-stardom

Not that the Captain would have ever wanted a life in the fishbowl, mind you. I'm just saying.

It just seems so unfair.

If you don't own Trout Mask Replica, do yourself a favour and go out and buy it right now.

Right now.

Rest In Peace, O great one, rest in peace.
