The Spontaneous Emergence of Captain Beefheart II

Aaaah. My little H.o.p. says that he’s going to “do a comedy musical about a man with a fish head who runs around bumping into stuff”. And he doesn’t even know about Captain Beefheart. The above idea followed after his talking about the musical he was going to do about a banshee and a yeti.
