Reviews
Perhaps I shouldn't review this book as I gave up reading it after three chapters. It's basically a succession of interviews by friends and contemporaries of Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart. The book quickly gets bogged down in debates about whether a band folded up in 1962 or 1963, or whether somebody played bass before moving to guitar. Tedious stuff, which would benefit from editing. Mike Barnes's Captain Beefheart: The Biography is much better.
