Text from back cover:
"Some YoYo Stuff" is an observation of the observations of DON VAN VLIET and documented on film by ANTON CORBIJN

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART is no more - he came home in 1982, hung up his microphone and grabbed his paint brush. He then dusted off his real name, Don Van Vliet, and has been doing very well since, thank you. That much you might know without watching this incredible piece of film, but what else are you aware of?

There is very little information about him from 1982 onwards and Anton Corbijn's short b/w film from 1993 is a unique opportunity to see and hear the wonderful DON VAN VLIET. This man is one of the most influential, misunderstood, talked about, admired, copied, treasured, loved artists of the last 50 years and yet he is a mystery.

This film will reveal his thoughts on many subjects and still keep the enigma alive. We'll see director DAVID LYNCH asking two questions, we'll see his mother SUE VLIET walking around and finding a spot for Don and we'll see ANTON CORBIJN explaining why he made this film in the first place.

If you like CAPTAIN BEEFHEART you will be amazed and if you love DON VAN VLIET you will love him even more after seeing this film.
