How do I get through that?

The Captain

“A transistor radio playing Howlin Wolf at full volume placed in a wok and set on a gas burner.”

From the London Review Of Books blog – www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2010/12/22/jeremy-harding/dust-storm-over-the-dales

Read Phil Cope’s Beefheart tribute at www.bcbradio.co.uk/musicblog/?p=3782

Phil says it all so we don’t have to.

Another Beefheartian thought from our friend Alastair in San Fran :

“My friend Tinker put his finger on the emotion last night. Unlike Jagger, Madonna and others (we WISH would go away), Beefheart vanished from the public eye thirty years ago so his death brought us back to an emotional state approximating our feelings for him when we were young.”

The long-running and bounteous Captain Beefheart Radar Station website has lots of interesting tributes on its blog. None more touching than that from Mr Radar Station, Graham Johnston, on 17 December – http://blog.beefheart.com/2010/12/don-van-vliet-1941-2010.html

This week’s Beefheart album is Safe As Milk – S.A.M. info from the Radar Station at www.beefheart.com/datharp/albums/official/sam.htm

Next week Strictly Personal is the featured Beefheart album on Blowin.
