No, that's fairly classic Beefheart.

Zappa liked him, so that means he was a weird, cranky, smartass bastard.

Zappa was a real musician, whatever one thinks of his music. I'm not clear that Beefheart was anything more than weird, cranky, and smartass.

Music is art, and art is fundamentally an emotional experience. You clearly got lost at "If you're guilty of thinking, you're out".

Feelings are certainly part part of it, and hard to teach, so I appreciate the Captain's efforts. But music is also largely engineering and math, and it won't sound good if you haven't done a lot of intellectual homework (although plenty of good artists will claim otherwise, because claims like that are appealing).
