I was always intrigued by how Fripp was the prog guy that managed to stay cool in the New Wave era. Hooking up with Bowie certainly helped him out.
Now Annie Clarke references King Crimson (Belew, Fripp and the earlier stuff which I think yu can hear in her writing), Jethro Tull, all sorts of stuff in interviews, so I guess it's cool again?

Ha, synchronicity. Just started reading Lucy Green’s book How Popular Musicians Learn (on my courses reading list) foreword by Fripp.
Lucy Green’s books are good btw, she’s on a mission to try and introduce some of what we do (improv, songwriting, learning by ear) into the general (is classical) musical pedagogy.
My tutors seem to be big Green fans...
Which is interesting cos Fripp was importing things the other way...

Fripp is a guitarist with tremendous originality and creativity. I believe he is one of those musicians that can't be compared with anyone.

Love Fripp and KC!
Of course, this is what he's been up to lately:

I knew before I clicked “play” that I shouldn’t click “play”, but I clicked “play”, anyway.
And here I have held Fripp in such high regard for decades. It’s a shame.

I'm partial to this era:

I remember seeing KC at a club in New Haven and people were trying to dance to a non-4/4 song. Everyone was hopping to the extra beats. It was awesome.
