Captain Beefheart is beat! A cohort of Frank Zappa back in the '60's & '70's, he would have been right at home on the '50's bebop scene. Last I heard he is out in the Mojave desert painting & digging life. He's a true American classic. Perhaps his song "Smithsonian Institute Blues" will be prophetic.

So true! The album "Trout Mask Replica" is beat poetry at it's best. How can a song called "Neon Meate Dream of an Octafish" not be beat?
