I'm thinking of using one of Beefheart's songs in this Poetry Anthology project I have to do for my English class. One of the peoms we have to choose has to be a "popular" song. I haven't looked at the lyrics to much of his songs yet, but I like the style.

Also, Beefheart on Letterman.
Another good interview.
I'll work on getting some linkage going for you guys. Got a full day in uni tomorrow, so you'll have to sit tight 'til Thursday if that's alright

As for the anthology, Beefheart's got a great style. A lot of the songs on Ice Cream For Crow are probably the best examples of his writing at its best, so you could always looks at the lyrics for that album for ideas.

EDIT - Just upping links for the both of you now. PMs soonish.
