It's no wonder why so many of the "pick up an instrument, strum a note, and ""I'm a musician"" artists" love the guy though.
Well they were friends when they were young, and now they both passed away. Maybe they had some cosmic reconciliation pass the grave?

I never took Captain Beefheart to be sloppy beginners, in fact you had to be a solid musician to be in the band. It's like an optical illusion, but with music. They sounded like under-achievers but they weren't.
