The man with the woman head
Polynesian wallpaper made the face stand out, a mixture of Oriental and early vaudeville jazz poofter, forming a hard, beetle-like triangular chin much like a praying mantis. Smoky razor-cut, low on the ear neck profile. The face the color of a nicotine-stained hand. Dark circles collected under the wrinkled, folded eyes, map-like from too much turquoise eyepaint. He showed his old tongue through ill-fitting wooden teeth, stained from too much opium, chipped from the years. The feet, brown wrinkles above straw loafers. A piece of cocoanut in a pink seashell caught the tongue and knotted into thin white strings. Charcoal grey Eisenhower jacket zipped and tucked into a lotus green ascot. A coil of ashes collected on the white-on-yellow dacs. Four slender bones with rings and nails endured the weight of a hard fast black rubber cigarette holder. I could just make out Ace as he carried the tray and mouthed, "You cheap son of a bitch" as a straw fell out of a Coke, cartwheeled into the gutter. So this was a drive-in restaurant in Hollywood, So this was a drive-in restaurant in Hollywood, So this was a drive-in restaurant in Hollywood. |

Mere Man (Son of Mirror Man)
Captain Beefheart was a true inovator. Amazing to listen to his music and realize when he recorded it. And DVV was a real crackpot - in a good way.

I don't think there was ever anybody like him in the rock world. He was a terrible businessman, but utterly uncompromising when it came to his music. He knew what he wanted, and let nothing or nobody get in his way. What especially struck me was that they recorded Trout Mask Replica in 4 1/2 hours. They were such a tight, well-rehearsed band, they pretty much recorded it all live in the studio. Nobody else does that then or now. Most musicians just aren't good enough or disciplined enough to do it.

Bummer! I go way back with the Captain...
Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee The pond shined dry like a ladies compact Lilies leaped like flat green hearts with white hearts Squirting yellow pollen...cocks... Ferns ran like cool spades.. fossils. ..away from rocks Bees echoed dark carbon hums that dashed in nothing Gnats fucked my ears 'n nostrils Hit my brain like hones 'n numbed t' nothing Wings stuck on liquid bones Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee The moon poured hollow down my milky leg Splashed still ‘n moved The wind peed down the willows 'n pricked the needle vine The monkey moved a fur shadow... its soot tail curled in twos Its lips smiled needles.. its eyes rolled loose Her throat broke open... glistened in the dew Red berries dangled like a dream of rubies too Snot muscles ran down her ivory chin 'n tooth within A locket... a pin held fast to then, my love, my pocket deep within 'N senses dangled the chain that clasped me to her then The messenger spoke the wind that blows between our time I sensed you then 'n whispers spin 'n flow in silver dust Around the pointed pin Sent to nothing God, please fuck my mind for good Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee Oh fuck that thing.. .fuck that poem...eyes crawl out with maggots White cloth bones pile up light thrown blades Rags ‘n skull.. scoops soil cracks.. .drain screams.. please Take my hand 'n join me... too soon its clutches gleams Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee Death be damned... life http://www.beefheart.com/index.html Doc At The Radar Station is excellent. Bongo Fury is one of my favorites too. |
