robert fripp fans out there?

[Zoot Allures]

He has retired but he was great


In the dream I fall into the sleepless sea
with a swell of panic and pain
my veins are aching for the distant reef
in the crush of emotional waves...

alright, get a hold of yourself
an' don't fight it, it's over your head
it's alright, the rumble in your ears
it's alright to feel a little fear
an' don't fight it, it's over your head
it's alright, you wake up in your bed...

silhouettes like shivering ancient feelings
they cover my foreign floors and walls
submarines are lurking in my foggy ceiling
they keep me sleepless at night...

hey, can you picture the sight
the figures on the beach in the searing night
and the roaring hurt of my silent fight...
can you pull me out
of this sleepless night
can you pull me out?...

He walked off the stage in the middle of a song during KC's last visit here at Sony Centre a couple of years ago. I think somebody took a pic.

 

[Boss Nass]

Met him a couple of times, he and my brother are good friends.

 

[Robert Mugabe]

Seems like Adrian Belew should get some kind of passing mention. if that's him.

Fripp is awesome.... didn't know he was packing it in. Glad I caught KC last year at Massey!

Robert Fripp is a genius, he's responsible for arguably David Bowie's best album: Scary Monsters.

But he was an abrasive personality, ELP would not have been possible if Greg Lake saw that he didn't have a future with King Crimson. On the flipside Bill Bruford gave up a lucrative gig with Yes, to work with him.

Awesome drumming!
