Happy Birthday ROBERT FRIPP!!

Wow, what a week, eh? Yesterday was Brian Eno's birthday and today is the birthday of one of the other most powerful musicians that have forged my taste in music; Robert Fripp - creator, and sustainer of King Crimson, but also the destroyer of mediocrity in music across all spectrums. I have been listening to Robert's music (the first album of his I actually remember owning was NO PUSSYFOOTING) since about 1978. It was shortly after that when I was introduced to the full body of King Crimson by the wisest and most knowledgeable music fan-friend of my early years, Stuart Hensley Oates. But I have never tired of King Crimson's music and still listen to it regularly today. In fact, I don't think a day goes by in which I do not listen to even a little bit of King Crimson. It is complicated and dark music that transports my mind and soul to depths or wonderment like no other music can. Long Live Robert Fripp! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Fripp http://www.elepha...
