I also prefer On Tomorrow as an instrumental.
Beatle Bones 'n' Smokin Stones is one of his best tracks though.
Is Beefheart one of the discographies that you're doing? It's also funny that you decided to review him on his birthday.

Beefheart is one yes, as per your request. You can see the entire list on Page 311. Re his birthday, odd indeed. I simply ran a RNG from 1 to 40 and came up with 4, which is his discog. Didn't know it was his birthday. Just time to move on so I decided to select a new discog (actually did that yesterday but did not have time to listen to
SP until today).

I have, yes. If you check the main list anything marked in purple has been reviewed previously.
SAM is one of those, and a few others too. You'll find I couldn't actually continue to hate the guy, even after the initial trauma of
TMR.
