Talk:Doc at the Radar Station

Removed: Open up another case of the punks

"Despite Beefheart's own protests that he found the New Wave music of the time uninterestingly derivative of his own work ("Why should I look through my own vomit?" [1]), punk rock and new wave musicians such as Devo, Pere Ubu and Public Image Ltd acknowledged their debt to his work of a decade previous. The 39-year-old Beefheart--his age being a detail commented upon in the reviews on the right hand side of this page--belied this debt in his lyrics for "Ashtray Heart":

Another day, another way

Somebody's had too much to think

Open up another case of the punks"

Apart from the fact that I disagree with this reading ('case of the punks' refers specifically to a pack of cigarettes, the song uses colorful poetic language to compare smoking/burning/consuming cigarettes to romantic mistreatment, and the dialog portrayed appears as being one-to-one, i.e. man/woman; I think interpreting it as Beefheart addressing those who he'd influenced is overreaching - there may be a wry double-entendre there, but it's just that, nothing more) it's not the place of this article to suggest or ratify any particular interpretation.Anazgnos 18:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Striking album cover"

Doesn't sound very neutral to me.

I agree. It's a purely subjective claim and should be removed --IRONY-POLICE (talk) 01:04, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, i'm going to go ahead and change this --IRONY-POLICE (talk) 16:03, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
