Heh, the freakband..
Love this track, and I love me some CB, but the mustache/hat/glasses unfortunately make him look like the media-generated image of a pedophile.
@johnnyray1717 probably, because in my experience listening to primus directly before my acid trip sent me into the best trip imaginable.
@under00ice that sounds insane
beefheart was a madman..love this song
かっこいい！
@skener69 The answer lies beyond the relms of reason.
This is totally acid/ mushroom music. It’s fine sober but, it’s even better while high. O_o “Greetings from Lancaster California !”
i came here because of blueeyed boy .
It sounds like a parody of his earlier genius stuff
@KillingLies1 Do you really think so? I find it as some kind of bizarre children tale. Magic mushrooms help.
this is pretty difficult to like, but ill try with some records.
Amazingly wonderful!
This is the best record ever made, Don you were the greatest
When I listen to Beefheart, it’s like I see the true power of music. His jagged melodies just speak to my soul

3:40 is where they filmed the movie seven.

This guy reminds me of an old cantankerous, cranky man who instead of yelling or complaining AT the band … he walks in and joins them to spew out tirades WITH them. haha … great stuff. First time I’ve heard of him. Interesting fellow.
It’s a keeper.
