The All Things Beefheart Thread

perhaps.

perhaps.

      Oh, what a word. Strangely, I've taken to employing the word 'possibly' at any given opportunity. It's driving them all fucking mad. Perhaps.

                Or possibly, even.

[Bluesberry]

my gawd ice cream for crow.

thats so real it hurts.......my mind is not programmed to hear such beauty...........it has to come in from one side, sneak up and WHAM..............then I understand...for a minute or two........but alas it is gone again.......lets hear that one again..........

[Bluesberry]

and here I was tonight trying to write down lyrics for a song.....and now watching all this Beefheart.......I am f&cked now.............my brain has a wedge in it now.........

[Oldrottenhead]

my brain has a wedge in it now.........

there is your first line right there.

[taffsdad]

And is this line available for any passing thought to use as inspiration for song like creation.....If I learn by my mistakes I must be  A Geniieus.....

[T.C. Elliott]

Use it. Abuse it. Be creative. That's my motto (or it might be now that I thought of it.) We should have a "first line" challenge. Post the first line and then see how many different songs we can get from it. That would be a great line to use.

We should have a "first line" challenge. Post the first line and then see how many different songs we can get from it.

         That's a cool idea...

                                  First Line Fest anyone?

                                                                     henwrench

[T.C. Elliott]

Yeah. Either have a couple of first lines to choose from or post a new one a month in (so as to provide more options in the fest) or have a Famous First Line Fest where the challenge is to take the first line from an existing song and write a different song using it as your first line.
