Farewell, Cap'n
His death occurred just before I started this blog. The open sore left by his passing still burns. This was a guy after all, who came to me in a long line of artists, starting with the B-52s and The Sinceros a couple years prior, and shaped my view of the world. It wasn't so much that Captain Beefheart's music opened my eyes, it was more that he was able to define and describe a part of me that nothing else could previously. Ice Cream For Crow was on the short list albums that meant the most to me at age 18. It's still on the short list today.
This song is called "Semi-Multicoloured Caucasian". It is an instrumental off Ice Cream For Crow. It is not only in my Top 10 favorite songs of all time, I believe I want it played at my funeral.
