My husband is a huge fan and has several records (yep, he kept all his vinyls, which are making a comeback we've noticed). I wonder if he has seen this post about articles by Grant O'Neill. He'd probably have fun taking a trip down memory lane...

Really enjoyed reading these posts.

On a side note, I attended a Henry Rollings "talking show" in Sacramento in June 2010. He told a great story about going to see a Captain Beefheart exhibition in Santa Barbara in the '80s. Hank said that the show was great and that it was even better because the good Captain was in attendance.

Sadly, Beefheart was in a wheelchair. Hank and his friend Joe Cole followed quietly behind the Captain in reverence. Beefheart approached each one of his paintings, waved his hands quickly in the air, and *threw hexes on each one his paintings!*

What an image - what a story.
