“He was like the scout on a wagon train..he was the one who goes ahead and shows the way. He was a demanding bandleader, a transcendental composer (with emphasis on the dental), up there with Ornette (Coleman), Sun Ra, and Miles (Davis). He drew in the air with a burnt stick. He described the indescribable. He’s an underground stream and a big yellow blimp.”

“I will miss talking to him on the phone. We would describe what we saw out of our windows. He was a rememberer. He was the only one who thought to bring matches. He’s the alpha and the omega. The high water mark”.

“He’s gone and he won’t be back”.

Tom Waits on Captain Beefheart.


“I think most people try to get others to see through their eyes.”

“Van Gogh made paintings so beautiful, that when I got out of the museum, I said: ‘The sun disappoints me.’”


“When I see a dolphin, I know it’s just as smart as I am.”
