 ==Frank Zappa about Glen van Vliet==
 From [[The Real Frank Zappa Book]]: ''"I spent more time with Don (Captain Beefheart) Van Vliet when I was in high school than after he got into 'show business.' He dropped out during his senior year, because his Dad, who was a Helms Bread truck driver, had a heart attack and 'Vliet' (as he was known then) took over his route for a while -- but most of the time he just stayed home from school. His girlfriend, Laurie, lived in the house with him, along with his Mom (Sue), his Dad (Glen), [[Aunt Ione]] and [[Uncle Alan]]. Granny Annie lived across the street."''
