i was going to go see him when he came around milwaukee but didnt for some reason.  He sounds like a pretty crazy dude, straight up plucked out of the 60s

I have a couple of his albums. Really good music! 
He is actually a good artist too. When I was down in San Francisco I saw some of his work at the Modern Art Museum.

Love these lyrics...

Some people ride the wave of generosity
Some people ride the wave of mediocrity
Me I ride the wave of never gonna drown

Now some people ride the cat when asleep or when awake
Some people ride a cat for riding a cat’s sake
Me I ride this cat cause its claws have got my eyes
I’ll get ‘em back in a few more tries

Some people ride the books that tenderize their names
Some people ride the books that bastardize our claims
Me I ride the book that’s sifting in the sand
Aw, some day I’ll understand

Some people ride the songs that stay inside our souls
Some people ride the songs that really ain’t songs at all
Me I ride the song that ends right when it starts
They’ll split before they part
Oh they’ll split before they part
