Don Van Vliet AKA Captain Beefheart (1941 - 2010)

[Orcus]

Sad news that Don Van Vliet, better known by his 1965 - 1982 music persona Captain Beefheart, has died of complications arising from MS aged 69.

Farewell to a true individual, artist and all-round "fast 'n' bulbous" freak. Thanks for the trip - RIP

Obit here.

So long, Don. Thanks for all the great music no one else could possibly have written, and for your paintings, too.


M', bulbous, also tapered
