...it's fairly easy. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who'd more overrated. If you've heard Beefheart, Partch, & Jimmy Scott you've pretty much heard his whole bag of tricks, and his lyrics are inane, beat-inspired laundry lists of "weird" things/situations. His main appeal seems to be to yuppies looking for something quirky and intellectual to have in their collections to freak out their friends and look smart. That so many people with otherwise fine tastes buy in to it is a mystery to me.
No offense...
