Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I Love You, You Big Dummy Comments

    Genius. I heard him at a battle of the bands in Granada Hills, California in 1965. His band won. That was the beginning of the "psychedelic era" LSD legal for another two years.

    The man was a genius. I saw him first time in 1965 at a battle of the bands in Granada Hills, California. He was the strangest musician I had ever seen for the time (early Sunset Strip era). His band won. They went on to have a hit in LA the next year "Ditty Wa Ditty". The psychedelic era had begun. Alot of "White Lightening" being passed around summer '66 as The Grateful Dead were in town trying to get a record deal. Was not illegal until late October. Was being handed out like candy. This was the Laural Canyon period. Many great bands in those canyons.

    Was this song written for, by or about DON RICKELS? Is it a tribute to the late entertainer known affectionately as
    "Mr Warmth?"
    Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
    But of course! The good Captain was a soothsayer, a futurist-
    He wrote this song for Donald Trump and his regime (erra, administration) and their GOPenis
    political party.
    Who knew?
    You said it, erra, sang it all
    Captain Beefheart- and those big eyed beans from Venus!
