Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Safe as Milk

THE REVIEW

A journalist to the Captain: "Where does the name Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band come from?"

"The Great Gnome of Rock & Roll gave us two options: Captain Beefheart & The Warts or Ethel Higgenbaum & Her Magic Band. We combined them. And now we can't wait for Ethel Higgenbaum & The Warts to record an album"

It was 1964 when a 33-year-old child had just refused a cup of healthy American milk from his mother to drink a pint of equally healthy American whiskey. In the middle of the night, the reckless child was seized by terrible bouts of vomiting. Suddenly, he remembered having swallowed, following the advice of a great Indian chief, a rag doll, a toaster, a pincushion, a My Little Pony, and a 16-car electric train excluding the locomotive, to which he was very attached.
It didn't take long to realize that the objects he had ingested, with the patient work of the healthy American alcohol, had magically transformed into five drunk hobos. "Perfect!" exclaimed the 33-year-old child, who did not hold back any further. He constructed a perfect paper boat with a sheet of American newspaper, gently placed it on his vomit, and invited his new crew to board. Then, with a strong headache but with a proud chest, he said: "I will lead you to waters safe as milk". And that's how SAFE AS MILK was born.

My opinion, although tragically biased by the affection I hold for Our guys, is to behave in front of such musicians as a 33-year-old child with a clear conscience would behave in front of the bouncy ball dispenser outside the bar.

Insert the coin and eagerly wait for a little universe to descend…
