R.I.P. Captain Beefheart

[Doraemon666]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12024652 wow what a shock,i still cant believe it really,but what can i say,the man was a true original and a musicain and artist that was truly and still is ahead of his time,his youthful and complex attitude towards music not only thrilled but also confused people lol even to this day i still find new things every time i listen to his music,even now some of his music still makes me sit there and scratch my head thinking what the hell but that is what was great about him he kept on pushing himself and his auidence to places totally unknown,a true great is now gone and will be sadly missed and i can honestly say he was one of a kind and the world will never see another like him again.R.I.P. Captian your music and art will live on forever.

Have to be honest, I'd never heard of him.

Is there anything of his I would "know" but perhaps not know it was him?
