Anyone old enough to remember Frank Zappa will know that he declared this band "Captain Beefheart" to be cool. Millions of people then bought Beefheart's albums and declared that they loved their music. Only cooooool people would get it, squares wouldn't understand it, right?

Listen to this and tell me what you think, only the truly cool will like it.

NOBODY can tell me they enjoy that noise. I think Zappa was just seeing how stupid and sheep-like the public was, kept it secret as his little joke on the world.

I liked some of Zappa's stuff, some I didn't. Beefheart is just aggravating noise.
