RIP Captain Beefheart
Wednesday 22nd December, 2010 8:26AM
A legendary figure in rock 'n roll, Don Van Vliet, better known as Captain Beefheart, has passed away at the age of 69.
After several line-up changes Vliet formed Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band in 1964 and released Safe as Milk and the legendary double LP Trout Mask Replica on Frank Zappa's Straight Records.
Moving easily between twisted, surreal musicality and more conventional forms of rock and roll, Beefheart retired in 1982.
