Anyone who has ever been in a band, knows that it's hard to get everyones schedules together. It must be 10 times harder when you don't live in the same countries and some of your members have other bands and projects. Since Robert has been involved with bands for years I can't imagine this is the first time a sheduling problem has occured. It makes me think something else is the problem and this incident is just becoming the scapegoat. But if not and that's all it takes for Robert to give up that's pretty pitiful.

The story as posted on this blog is off the mark. I've been a longtime fan of KC and Fripp, but he has just gotten too strange, too into himself aned his mind. He has disappeared up his ass with his philosophizing. I loved seeing KC in New York this past summer, but Fripp's hiding behind the electronics rack was just frigging bizarre. One of his previous collaborators appeared at Yale last year with a student orchestra and the head of the classical guitar department and we had the pleasure of meeting him after the performance. I asked him if he woiuld work with him again. His answer was an emphatic "NO! Fripp is an odd character, difficult to work with." I say let him whine in his blog and do whatevever he wants. If KC appears again (which wouldn't surprise me if it did for another brief stint later in the year) or not - so what. Move on, make music. Adrian is thriving and if Fripp has no interest in developing new material, so be it. We figured this would be the last hurrah and if it is, that's fine with us. There are too many interesting people for Adrian to work with to bother appeasing Fripp. Frankly, I don’t give a ****. The story as posted on this blog is off the mark.

I did nothing to warrant this punishment and more importantly: I WILL NOT BE SEEN AS THE ONE WHO ENDED KING CRIMSON. it is not true and it's not fair. I'm waiting... adrian belew dude, you have been drinking the kool-aid.
