Bernardine Evaristo
“She slipped free crusty pies filled with apple-flavored lumps of sugar to the runaway rent boys she befriended who operated around the station
With no idea that in years to come she’d be attending their funerals
They didn’t realize unprotected sex meant a dance with death
Nobody did”
Bernardine Evaristo, Girl, Woman, Other

Lester Bangs
“Like almost all of Beefheart's recorded work, it was not even "ahead" of its time in 1969. Then and now, it stands outside time, trends, fads, hypes, the rise and fall of whole genres eclectic as walking Christmas trees, constituting a genre unto itself: truly, a musical Monolith if ever there was one.”
Lester Bangs
