Don't take what you saw in that movie too seriously. As having worked on The Home of The Brave, I will tell you a secret: They were all props. The concert was totally staged. Audience? Paid extras. Most of the audio had been recorded before a single image went to celuloid. Good movie? You bet, I loved it. Angry that although I worked for free as an intern and got not a mention on fhe credits? Sure was. Hell, getting to bullshit with Adrian Belew on a daily basis sure is sweet, though. Adrian is truely a nice guy, as were most of the musicians. My one regret was that I was young and spent most of the time stymied. On the down side, I hate most of her new album (some loop content, as usual). Couldn't get Bright Red out of my CD player, but half the songs on Life on a String are unlistenable to me. Sigh. That's just me though, as I hated most of Strange Angels, and others here liked it and didn't like Bright Red. I'm going to take the stuff I like from both albums and make one good one called Strange String. BTW, while were're on the King Crimson topic, I LOVE Level Five and also their "techno" album bpm&m. (loop content on both) bpm&m is worth it for the cartoons on the linernotes alone. Behind the CD is an illustration of a VERY "fly" Robert Fripp. You'll have to get it to see what I mean. VERY funny.
