Don Van Vliet, better known as Captain Beefheart, died of complications of multiple sclerosis at age 69 in December, 2010.  Obituary  here<\/a>.  Apparently, hanging out in the Mojave desert can do strange things to your head.  Here<\/a> is a taste of desert strangeness from the 1969 Trout Mask Replica<\/em> album.  Far out, man.  Here<\/a> is something rather more accessible from the 1967 debut Safe as Milk <\/em>album.  And I think I remember hearing  Abba Zabba<\/a> from that same album back in the day.  (Which reminds of the saying, 'If you remember the '60s, you weren't there.')<\/span><\/p>\n

From Lancaster-Palmdale to Bakersfield and the 'Bakersfield sound' of Buck Owens and his Buckaroos.   I once had a girlfriend, half Italian, half Irish.  Volatile combo, not recommended.  I had me a Tiger by the Tail<\/a>.  My wife's half Italian, but the phlegmaticity of her Polish half mitigates, moderates, and modulates her latent Italianate volcanicity, which remains blessedly latent, if it exists at all.<\/span><\/p>\n
