Always nice when you play something of substance or beauty at an open mike and someone shouts out the band or artist, it proves there are like minded people out there who can decide for themselves what quality and beauty is without the insensate inculcation of rubbish that passes for art on the radioNO. Now I have to look up "Too much Time". Oh and here's one for you Richie Sambora's "All that really matters" I will play this soon as I have the mid section down.

Dean Smith’s solo exceptionally lyrical, massively underrated. A masterful performance in lyrical simplicity. Including Beefhearts cockup on the harmonica!! I’m so taken by it that I’ve stuck this song in my set list……and it won’t be shifted. Sheer brilliance!

Thanks youtube algorithm. The most normalish sounding Beefheart song I have heard in a while. Probably a good one for that point in the evening where the drugs have kicked in hard and now you're just starting to get into that mellow groove, but you still want to punch anyone who puts on a garth brooks song.

I guess this is the most avant garde thing he could possibly do, compared to most of what I've heard from him. awesome! who else could make normalness weird? brilliant.
