My dad told me to listen to Trout Mask Replica when I was in high school, and I found his copy in our basement. My mom saw it laying around, and hid it in the middle of all my dad's other albums, just randomly sticking it somewhere. She said that she always hated that album, and that's why she made my dad keep it in the basement.
Squiggles, that's funny--my mother introduced me to Beefheart, via Safe as Milk which she described as one of her favorite albums. It took me a while to warm up to it, because she mentioned his (then) affiliations with Zappa, who at the time I couldn't stand. I've come to appreciate some Zappa a little bit, but man oh man, Beefheart.
Fuck.
