WHOOPS! Several letter-writers have informed me that I forgot to state where those "interesting articles" on King Crimson could be found. They are in this month's MUSICIAN magazine, the one with Peter Wolf (ex-J. Geils) on the cover. The articles include interviews with individual members of the band, discussing their problems in relating to each other in a musical ensemble. (Especially prominent in the discussions are Robert Fripp's feelings on his position in a band that he reformed and was supposed to be the "leader" of, and Bill Bruford's desire to be more than a drummer who just "keeps the beat", much to the chagrin of the other band members who apparently need for him to do so [so much so that Tony Levin supposedly programmed a DrumTrax machine to take on tour with them, and that the track "Sleepless" was re-edited by the band to put Bruford's snare hits on the beat].) Did anyone catch the Crimson MTV concert? (Of course, I missed it.) (I didn't double post to net.music.classical because I assumed that no one there would be interested in hearing about top 40 pop music like King Crimson. Their loss...) -- "So, it was all a dream!" --Mr. Pither "No, dear, this is the dream; you're still in the cell." --his mother Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr
