Captain Beefheart 

Captain Beefheart (aka Don Van Vliet) and The Magic Band produced what is commonly regarded by critics and fans as one of rock's few truly original bodies of work. Combining elements of free jazz, blues and rock, they produced something distinctly different from anything which had ever been heard before, and heavily influenced a wide range of later musicians such as Tom Waits, PJ Harvey and John Lydon.

In the words of Frank Zappa, "Listen, be quiet and pay attention to this man's music, because if you don't, you might miss something important and we wouldn't want that to happen to you. You need all the friends you can get."

Quite simply the most original and greatest musician of the last 100 years.
You've never heard of Beefheart? You must be fucking lame.

Captain Beef

A drinking game of Italian origin. Basically you sit in a circle around a table...everyone has a beer. You basically have to say "I am Captain Beef", tap each hand on the top of the table then on the bottom, tap your glass, stand up, and drink a sip. Then do the same thing with each motion repeated twice ("I am Captain Beef Beef", etc.). Finally do the same thing again, repeated 3 times. If you screw up, finish your beer and get a new one. If you finish the cycle, the next person has to do it. It's really a pretty shitty drinking game, but what can you really expect from those damn Europeans?
We played Captain Beef for 5 hours and after about 4 hours Johnny screwed up once and had to drink. It was hilarious. Or maybe it would have been, but I was too sober. Just shoot me.
