zijn muziek. Vaag herkenbaar, rommelig, gekleurd en met een herkenbare stijl. Zie de Paintings sectie op de fansite the Radar

Een niet zo serieus overzicht van 5 pagina's van webcomic Scary go Round start hier. But after not bein' asked to sing on "We Are The World", he invented the beloved bunny "Miffy".

En voor degene die een teringhekel aan die zut hebben is er de mening van Peter Hook, ex-New Order and Joy Division. Trout Mask was highly regarded by post-punk bands because of its idiosyncratic approach to rhythm and song construction - but those bands were full of shit, weren't they?

Jaren later werd ik nog eens bedankt door iemand die door mij toen Beefheart had ontdekt.
"Van Vliet wanted the whole band to "live" the Trout Mask Replica album. The group rehearsed Van Vliet's difficult compositions for eight months, living communally in Van Vliet's home in the Woodland Hills suburb of Los Angeles. Drummer John French described the situation as "cultlike" and a visiting friend said "the environment in that house was positively Manson-esque." By all accounts their circumstances were dire. With no income other than welfare and contributions from relatives the group survived on a bare subsistence diet, and were even arrested for shoplifting food (with Zappa bailing them out). A friend of Van Vliet's who visited the house described their appearance as "cadaverous" and that "they all looked in poor health." Band members were restricted from leaving the house and practiced for 14 or more hours a day. When the time finally arrived to record, the band was able to knock out the pieces flawlessly and this led to a very brief recording process."
