Fascinating interview. What I love about Don van Vliet is he sees the world differently than most everyone else. His observations are unique, his way of explaining the imbalance of nature, for example (the Hopi word is koyaanisqatsi). The way he talks about the world is just as unique as his music and lyrics. His poem that was recited about the desert was really profound.
I heard this show live when I was 15 in suburban Philly, I was a regular listener of Meatball Fulton on WXPN and this is why I've been a lifelong Beefheart fan.
Lol, it was recorded during Apollo 11’s landing on the moon. The first time humans ever went to the moon. And this interview was recorded during it. Don and Meatball just talking about stuff and chilling. Mind boggling 🤯
Damn, Cap actually makes sense. Trying to put a square in a circle among the war just ends up with the men lying in their deathbeds. It's true, it didn't solve anything. Either that or I'm just trying to get something outta him lmao
dude... guy was into acid since the beat era. probably done speed as well since it was very popular before LSD took over in Cali. For Frank Zappa, i might believe that he wasn't using anything, but Magic Band and him especially were heavy into it.
Jeff presumably is Jeff 'F-umbo' Bruschele? After the thirty-first "you know what I mean?" I wish someone would, Mark Lamarr-style, reply "I cannot stress how much I don't know what you mean". Obvious fib - re how long Bill and Mark had been playing music.

He talked about "drugs being poison". But something tells me he made exceptions. He definitely smoked cigarettes at some point in his career. I'd be surprised if he never used psychedelics.
No, it's recently (2000's or so) come out that he used psychedelics, smoked pot and did cocaine/speed...all at various and/or different points in his career. Though by "rock & roll" standards, he was FAR from a "druggie."
Manson was a product of abuse. A psychopath created. Beefheart was more of a coddled, undiagnosed autistic or something. He had a narcissistic streak but was fairly harmless.
Holy shit this interview is gold I'm saving this for later
Man. Bh was a total goober. And I love him for that
Amazing interview the captain sounds delighted and the interviewers can’t get enough of him
"I don't read books, because they are squares."

Wish I could hear it better. Maybe I'll need to listen more than once.
The eagle may well have landed that day but the ET being inteviewed was non the less remarkable , RIP DVV .
This guy was other worldly.
I have much more respect for this gentleman than for many artists who are much better known than his Magic Band
John, this is truly aesthetically pleasing!

This rare gem was recorded just days after the release of trout mask replica
"I believe in circles. I have 2 believe that or I'd fall apart!" 💙😅💙
Damn, I wish they would've got this on film.
Be thankful that this amazing interview was captured at all, but yes, it would be even more amazing if it was captured on film
Historical
There was a Moon landing ? Wow, interesting..
now this interview is the real deal 😋

'...do you know what I mean....'
Silent sorrow in empty boats
Never done narcotics, but is cannabis considered a narcotic? He sounds high as a kite here.

...evil is a loss of clarity
If evil wasn't a separate concept altogether it wouldn't require a different word to describe it.
is that why military dictatorships are better organised than hippy communes?
@@sashasilin3463 organization/order intrinsically are artificial for the fact that they bruise humanity's collective soul; therefore are evil.

He really used no narcotics?
He talked about "drugs being poison". But something tells me he made exceptions. He definitely smoked cigarettes at some point in his career. I'd be surprised if he never used psychedelics.
He was dropped into a cauldron of acid as a baby and was never allowed to touch it again
No, it's recently (2000's or so) come out that he used psychedelics, smoked pot and did cocaine/speed...all at various and/or different points in his career. Though by "rock & roll" standards, he was FAR from a "druggie."
Surely there would be drugs, as in most of us and we are not artists
I know that he probably did later in his career, and he certainly drank and smoked cigarettes.
Far out
Caption boreal the black white one
He sounds like he is manic.
To you.
hmm charlie manson was busy round this time
drumier I wonder what he would’ve thought of Beefheart’s music
Peconie Murlmander your guess is as good as mine.
Manson was a product of abuse. A psychopath created. Beefheart was more of a coddled, undiagnosed autistic or something. He had a narcissistic streak but was fairly harmless.
@@presence5426
I don't think he was autistic I feel it's more likely he was schizophrenic
@@PeconieMurlmander he would have a party and invite him probably
