So long Cpt. Beefheart

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Shine on you crazy bastard. The second-best band I was ever in had a guitar player heavily influenced by Beefheart. I'm sure they're in mourning in Gun Barrel City tonight.


And yes, that's a real place, where the guitar player was from. It is also the best name ever for a city.

Sad news. :(

Very sad news - but he will live on ....
