Amazing!!! I screwed up my courage and went up to talk to Fripp (who was like a major god to me then----he's still kind of a minor deity to this day) and waited until everyone talked to him and approached him. I had studied with Gregory Bateson in college and his name came up and we ended up having this pretty long conversation about Summerhill and alternative education. He was really nice and genuinely seemed to care about what I had to say. I was impressed by his 'realness' (he, after all, was a god :-). ah............as Bill McNeil would say in News Radio, "Good times....good times? Rick Walker (loop.pool)
