# there's an uncomfortable scene
in a Beefheart biography I've read (soz, don't remember which one) where CB turns up at Zappa's studio while he's trying to work,
and CB is practically starving, and starts intoning 'Ain't No Santa Claus On The Evening Stage' over and over again until Zappa gives him some money to make him go away.
If it was me, I'd make 'Ice Cream For Crow' in revenge.

# [Its difficult to differentiate mental illness,
from years of unparallelled creative activity, (combined with psychoactive drug use).

It was MrHorrible wot made me listen to a later rendition of Orange Claw Hammer. A great bit of Zappa Guitar, and BH poetry. However it is obvious that beefheart isn't mentally with it before the performance...]

# heh!
I'm living the dream myself at the minute.
Mental, reclusive and, at the same time as being mental and reclusive, trying to tell a town what's happening in the town for a living.
If I was someone else, this'd be a bottomless mineshaft of hilarity.

Damn, forgot to misspell 'the'.

But my heart belongs to-
