@crazyedd123 The book talks a lot about Fripp. It's really a great book. Smith lays every phase of KC out clearly, with all the major players' perspectives.

@hiddenfire65 Ah, thanks for that, I may have to buy this book. I sometimes wonder if Fripp has any form of mental disorder; if you watch him in interviews he has a very unusual way of speaking and has a very 'intense' air about him.
Plus, being left-handed may have made things difficult for him. It's not as bad nowadays but, back then it was still considered an oddity, probably why Fripp loves Hendrix so much.

@crazyedd123 Smith's book sheds light on his childhood. His parents would leave he and his sister to fend for themselves frequently. There was an absence of parental affection, and at school he was a bit "mean" at times.

@hiddenfire65 What do you mean about his 'difficult childhood?' It might shed some light on why Fripp can be abit 'odd.'
-
@dantean He's a solitary guy whose original band deserted him, and who spent his career trying to make the original band's legacy continue. Yeah he's a control freak, and yeah he rationalizes it in different ways than most people, but if you combine his difficult childhood with the trauamatic event of the original band quitting, this is what you get.

@hiddenfire65 I've always thought Fripp had a mistaken view of himself as NOT an asshole. Asshole is not the worst thing in the world to be (I'm one), but with Bob you somehow get the idea he'd be offended if you told him he's always behaved as if "King Crimson" were never really anything more to him than "Fripp and Friends," or, worse, "Fripp and Others."

Grazie del commento. Ti invidio comunque l’aver vissuto quell’epoca che, sebbene difficile e ricca di contrasti, trovo più viva e stimolante dell’attuale.
