Was just surfing the net and banged into a piece of archival beauty – some dude named Rick McGrath's (God bless him) interview with the one and only Don Van Vliet - titled A Candid Conversation With Beef The Chief.
A highly recommended read offering an oceanic view on Captain Beefheart “the player” and Frank Zappa “the worker”. Check out this link The Don Van Vliet Interview... or click on this safe as milk link and THANK ME.
Cheers...
