Don't know if anyone here is familiar with the mans work but i thought that for those of you that are, it's only fair you have an outlet for your grief, musical legend died today at 69 years of age after a long battle with fumconbie locisis, numtigum balosis, multiple sclerosis.

I'm a massive Zappa fan and as a result stumbled across Captain Beefheart's work a few years ago. Genuinely gutted by this news.

Oh Captain my Captain. I've only just heard and already left a long rambling tribute of sorts on the Grauniad site. Grief stricken is probably too strong for someone I never knew but I am gutted. Loved the Good Captain. As Jimmy Carl Black once said, "Zappa was good but if you wanted the real thing you went to Captain Beefheart", I think meaning that he was a true original, an outsider maverick who created something unique. Genuine avante garde and a terrific blues yelper as well.There I go again. I could go on for pages. Loved the man and his work both visual and sonic. RIP Don Van Vliet.
