A bit 'o' the Cap'n... A short stint as a vacuum cleaner salesman followed in which he toted his wares around the desert communities of southern California. Once, legend has it, he knocked on the door of a mobile home and none other than Aldous Huxley answered. Beefheart pointed at a vacuum cleaner and shouted, "I assure you sir, this thing sucks." He made his sale.

hey I'm not sure on this but I don't think the Captain charted ANY of his songs (even the ones that were "hits"!)... not bad for one who's been singled out as you know a BIG INFLUENCER of specific rock genres. All these great guys work "underground" for sure......

This from good friend RW....
This one was in yesterday's Times; I think his passing is probably receiving more attention in L.A. than in many other places. I still think
that the Cromelin obit I copied you was the best-written piece yet, but this is pretty cool, too. I love that his tip for guitarists is to
listen to the birds; think about some of the sounds that Hendrix got---absolutely bird-like at times. Definitely post this, if you'd like.

again...
"Where man can stand by another man
Without an ego flyin'
With no man lyin'
'N no one dyin' by an earthly hand"...
But you know my friend these days it's apparently asking too much...
