 9. HOW DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & THE MAGIC BAND,
 ANDWAS  THERE A PARTICULAR SONG THAT MADE YOU SEE THE LIGHT?:
 A letter in the NME in praise of SAFE AS MILK. I think this was late 1967.
I didn't hear any of it until YELLOW BRICK ROAD came out on 45.
 I think they played it on Saturday Club or something. The song that really convinced me was
BEATLE BONES 'N' SMOKIN' STONES.
