Yesterday I stumbled on a blog that celebrated last Friday as the birthday of Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart. He just turned 69. Which is kinda relative, since 40 years ago he could easily have been mistaken for a 69-year-old blues man.
The Captain (not by any stretch of the imagination to be confused with Daryl Dragon) is said to be a cult figure. He’s an acquired taste, that’s for sure. But there’s no mistaking him.
