Captain Beefheart
Nick Tosches, Fusion, 19 March 1971
"The Chatanooga Choo-Choo careens headlong into the hub of an exploding galaxy. The cadavers of 19 raped and strangled astronauts float de-pants'd, froggish in the zero-g, midbrains housing alien logic radio-waves. A jukebox wafts by, 'beedle um bum.' And 7 light years away a dainty earthling peeks over a grassy knoll and screams. Drink up."
– Edna St. Vincent Millay
