Wooooow....
I'm pretty sure this story was about Captain Beefheart (if not perhaps it was Zappa, but... pretty sure it was Beefheart) - He was auditioning this young hotshot avant-garde guitarist one day in the studio. The guitarist asked him what to play: Beefheart walked over, crumpled up a sheet of paper slowly, and said "...play that." and walked away.

There will never be another like him.
3 of my favorite albums of all time:
Trout Mask Replica
Shiny Beast
Doc at the Radar Station
Saw him live in 1980 at the Public Theater in NYC w/ Blood Ulmer opening. One of the greatest shows I've ever seen.
