Yep. One of my all time favorite TV moments was watching the Captain
play "Hot Head" on SNL. (The next year, SNL hosted Fear, who instigated
a riot.) The last two records contain a lot of skronky, FUN music.
Having said that, _Lick My Decals Off Baby_ remains my favorite
Beefheart record, and I wish it would come back into print so I could
have a digital copy of "I Love You, You Big Dummy".
