Re: ALL ABOARD - The HELL Train!!
It is with quiet pleasure that I report the death of one “Captain Beefheart”
To paraphrase someone else,
“Have you heard any Captain Beefheart?”
“No, but I trod in some once.”
A creature dedicated to puncturing ear-drums, forcing drugs down children’s throats, and corrupting the morals of Christian America, Mr Van Vliet, was given a long and lingering death by God, Who has now despatched him to the bowels of Hell.

It is with quiet pleasure that I report the death of one “Captain Beefheart”
After battling for years with multiple sclerosis, avant garde artist and musician Don Van Vliet, better known through his persona Captain Beefheart, passed away yesterday (December 17th) at the age of 69 due to complications related to his condition.
Beefheart is best remember through his counter-culturalist experimentation of the psychedelic rock genre in the 60s and 70s, and leaves behind a trademark with his neo-jazz and Delta blues psychedelic hybrids, as well as the capricious stage persona that embeded him amongst the abstract pop-culturalists of the time. His zeleotry to his own style and sometimes violent-by-design antics crafted his memorable stage presence, and despite touching on controversy, cemented his personality amongst the madly-weird of the time period.
