NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT [Episode #478 ~ 01-10-26]
Pictured: Captain Beefheart (r.) & His Magic Band.
“How did the name ‘Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band’ come about?”
“The Great Gnome of Rock’N’ Roll gave us a choice of two names: Captain Beefheart and The Warts, and Ethel Higgenbaum and Her Magic Band. We just combined them. I can’t wait until Ethel Higgenbaum and The Warts cut a record,” said Alex.
“We feel very fortunate that we are associated with A&M,” said Beefheart. “Our music is down home Chicago type country blues and we work well together.”
“What is the trend in popular music as Beefheart sees it?”
“The Supremes may want to change their name to Ethel Higgenbaum and the Warts if Motown goes out of style.”
“Thank you, Captain Beefheart.”
— from KFWB Hitline (1966), quoted in Mike Barnes’ Captain Beefheart.
