Read a Chunk of the Un-Produced Captain Beefheart Film Script

This weekend, the legendary avant-garde bluesman Don Van Vleit, better known as Captain Beefheart, passed away . While his distortion-soaked, eccentric take on rhythm and blues was often cinematic in its own right, Beefheart almost had a brush with acting as well. In the early 60s, inspired by the success of films like Easy Rider , Frank Zappa and Beefheart holed up and worked on a script for a film called Captain Beefheart vs. The Grunt People . The script was never produced, but a huge chunk of it is available online and it’s every bit as fun and weird as fans would hope.
