The Captain Beefheart connection

Ok, officially put me down as someone who would vote for Jon Huntsman for President if he ever made it out of the Republican primary. It's not because of his politics, although he did criticize Obama's stimulus package as being too small, and he just tweeted this:

To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy.

It's because of his awesome taste in music.

After a tweet suggesting the "call me crazy" line had attracted "lots of new followers," Huntsman wrote, "I wonder if a tweet where I admit how much I like Captain Beefheart will make the followers skyrocket even more!" He then linked to a youtube video of "The Cap and his Magic Band playing their oh-so-conventional sound to a bunch of hip crowd members on a beach."
