Damn it...RIP, The Indian of the Group.
I know he said not to, but I'm going to be sad for a little while anyway.

Man that sucks! I feel like Jimmy and the rest of the original MOI never got the respect they deserved from the Zappas.

I saw The Grandmothers once (Jimmy, Bunk Gardner, Don Preston) in a small club and it was amazingly, heartwarmingly awesome. RIP Jimmy.

my enduring memory of him is from that BBC Captain Beefheart documentary, dispensing his geezerly words of wisdom about the Zappa/Beefheart relationship.
RIP.

He was ripping on about how Frank was good, but Beefheart was the real avant garde.
RIP Jimmy - I hope you finally get paid.

I recall one hellish college job as a telemarketer in the Metroplex area, being forced to cold-call unsuspecting folks. for some reason, I would change my name and a couple of times, I introduced myself as Jimmy Carl Black.

Fuck. I played We're Only in it For the Money for the first time in years on Saturday night. I hope that wasn't what killed him.

If you played the version with the re-recorded bass and drum tracks, it did.

Fuck, way to go, dude. I bet you step on all the cracks in the sidewalk too.

Ha, I worked telemarketing and did this, too, working my way through the whole Mothers line-up!

RIP. I liked that album of Beefheart covers he did with Eugene Chadbourne. Maybe I'll listen to that in his honor.
