Re: Frippertronics and Soundscapes

Not that I don't believe that Robert Fripp is totally nuts (love his 
music btw) having watched him hide in the shadows at almost every show. 
  Christ, I saw them in Buffalo NY for the first US show (Thrak) they 
had done in 5 years or something and he was invisible.  Hidden in 
darkness.  Now, I payed a decent amount of money to *see* King Crimson. 
  I didn't see Robert Fripp until the end where Adrian Belew (possibly 
one of the most easy going and patent men I've had the honor to meet) 
literally PULLED Robert out of his hidey-hole and made him take a bow 
with the band.  Now, IMO, that is being down right rude to your fans 
for no reason.  If you don't want to be seen in a live show, don't play 
one.

Should I have sued Robert for denying me the ability to view his person 
when that was in fact what I paid to do?  Probably, but the courts are 
flooded with stupid lawsuits.  Instead I use it as a funny story I can 
tell on the LD mailing list.  A fair trade?  Maybe not, but welcome to 
my United States of Whatever.
