Wow, that's pretty shocking. He wasn't that old at all either

I'll be sure to listen to Trout Mask Replica in honor of him later today... Rest in peace.

I heard this on NPR on the way home from work.

Truely a visionary, RIP.

Sad news that such a powerful force in music has gone.

Today on Youtube someone posted the line "Quietly the rain played down on the last of ashes", which made me think how,in fact, Beefheart`s lyrics were usually bursting with colour, life and strange possibilities.

"He don`t bow to bad water, He don`t pussy-foot around" -that,for me, is the Captain.

One of my favorite Beefheart quotes:

I'm not a rock star. I'm a soft person. I'm not a rock.

The Captain changed the course of my musical life. <3

I never really liked your music, Beefheart, but I don't think you had to die for it.
May you rest in peace.

Listened to him all of last night. Really is a sad loss.
