Never heard of the book and BIG thanks for bringing it to my attention. Smile
 
Speaking of Captain Beefheart, How could I forget about The Residents?!

I have a somewhat large interest in artists and bands like this. I am a huge fan of Captain Beefheart, Wesley Willis, Jandek, The Shaggs, Frank Zappa, Little Fyodor, Philemon Arthur and the Dung and, if I may say so myself, The Residents, Snakefinger and Renaldo & The Loaf.

I can't stand Fischer's vocals, they are so annoying. Never could get into him.
