When you hear Frank break down and do the guitar solo at the end of Muffin Man. Oh my god. It send chills up my spine just thinking about it! Oh, and what's with the map of Texas? Man get with the program. Put a picture of you car up there. That Texas thing must be embarrasing.

Yep, I've got an extensive collection of Beefheart stuff - I think I have all of his domestic albums, plus a few imports, plus some other stuff. One of the few truly unique musicians to appear on the pop/rock scene in the latter half of the 20th century. Most people have never heard of him, but check out how many musicians have been heavily influenced by him. I've just started listening to Howling Wolf, and I realize where Van Vliet got his singing style. Got to meet him (DVV) once, have an autgraphed piece of his art work.
Yes, Bong Fury has Muffin Man, which is a great cut. I've got a vinyl of it. Recorded at the now extinct Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin.
Hey, you dissing my home state? I'm only embarrassed when I think of some of the recent crop of politicians it has produced.
Besides, I don't have a picture of my car.
