Yeah, I like Captain Beefheart.  One of my favorite artists.  And some
of the more bizarre music I have.

Did anyone catch a group that was on New Wave Theatre about a year ago
that was a direct clone of Beefheart?  The leaders name was 'Zoots' or
something like that (I couldn't understand the announcer) and they did
a number called 'Heart Attack'.  They were OBVIOUSLY imitation Beefheart
as anyone who is familiar with him would attest.  The band even LOOKED
similar to the 'beat' type look the Magic Band had in the late 60's, early
70's, ala Trout Mask or Lick my Decals off.
