king crimson

let us speak once more of prog, and then we will do so no longer. i was always real divided about this band, altho i had friends whose opinions i respected who dug 'em beyond all reason. i will say this: that i like the red alb (to which this toon was the title track) unreservedly, and this version by the "two-of-everything" '90s lineup -- including a longhaired adrian belew (who looked like a scrub when i saw him twice with fz in the '70s but here appears to be having enough fun for both himself and robert fripp while doing interesting thangs w/whammy bar 'n' feedback) and a very dapper bill bruford (whom i saw kicking it around with allan holdsworth in u.k. scant weeks after arriving in tejas) -- is mighty fine.
