Absolute Genius Sadly Missed When He Gave Up The Music
Unless you need to buy a tv licence for the specific purpose of watching this, then it IS free. Marginal cost = zero.
That is like saying that everything you watch on Netflix is free because you only pay the subscription.
Not free, need to pay for electricity/tv.
No. It's like saying something on Netflix is free for you if you are already paying the subscription. And in this instance, as most of the population actually do have a tv licence, it is free to them.
So are we going to factor in the running costs of every deal? No? Thought not. You'd have to say no deal would be free on this site because of the cost of using your computer/phone to find it.
Early stuff mainly. Safe as milk Strictly personal (loved the pic in the fold out. Weird and wonderful just like Beefheart himself) - and Trout Mask Replica his pièce de résistance
Sad loss. A REAL music legend original unlike 98% of so-called musicians
There's no doubt he was an extremely talented guy. I found it weird he was known for odd psychedlic tinged music as well as R&B albums that sound like Howlin' Wolf. As well as being an accomplished musician, he was a successful painter too. The amazing Ry Cooder played on some of his stuff as well.
Yes He was a genius and very original. Ry cooder was also mentioned together with Zappa by Don's biographer in the programme. This still remains my Fave Zappa Album and track for all time.It's the original mix and Beefheart is in great form on this.
I did not know that this was a collaboration between the two of them. Will check it out, although I have never been able to get into Zappa - except 'My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama' of course.
Hot Rats 1970 would be a good place to start
It remains for me his best album by far.
The first three tracks are incredible
