Nothing he did was a mistake, there were no accidents in his music. Only sheer invention, passion� dear god, why does the world keep losing such important people? Who will fill their shoes? My heart is heavy for you, Don Van Vliet!" Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase Captain Beefheart CDs Captain Beefheart MP3 Downloads |
