If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

A video of Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band (Gary Lucas (guitar), Jeff Tepper (guitar), Rick Snyder (bass), Cliff Martinez (drums);) performing 'Ice Cream for Crow' from the album of the same name (1982). The clip was rejected by MTV USA as "too weird" upon release, now it is in the Permanent Film and Video Collection of the Museum of Modern Art, NYC.
The video features some of Don Van Vliet's abstract abstract expressionist paintings. By 1985 Van Vliet's work was showing in the most prestigious galleries of Soho. Don Van Vliet died in december 2010 at 69 of multiple sclerosis.
Of all the bands that launched alternative rock, the Magic Band was the one truly opposite to the music of the regime of surf, Merseybeat, and teen idols.
