        I suspect it's more like the other way around. "Built for 
        Comfort" is an old old blues song. There's a decent 
        version by Howlin' Wolf on the _London Howlin Wolf 
        Sessions_ album on Chess that he did with members of 
        Traffic, the Rolling Stones, Cream, etc. It's actually a 
        pretty good album. 
 
        ObProg: Howlin' Wolf is the blues singer that Captain 
        Beefheart sounds most like. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
