Yeah, some people really want to stay out of the limelight... quite literally, in this case. And looks like he largely succeeded - I would describe myself as fairly familiar with rock music, and I have heard of most of the acts he has collaborated with, but the name Robert Fripp didn't ring a bell...
But if you wanted proof that the kind of toxicity we see on the Internet nowadays did exist before (but wasn't available for everyone to see and amplify), this "fan" letter is a very good example!
- pimeys 6y agoIf you were ever into prog rock while young, his band King Crimson basically defined the genre and later on moved it to different directions very succesfully.
- frereubu 6y agoI've known about Robert Fripp for quite a while, since I bought an album he made with Andy Summers, the guitarist from The Police, in 1984. But it was only last year that I discovered he played the solo guitar line on the David Bowie track Heroes and produced / played on an album by Daryl Hall. He really does get everywhere for someone who's remained relatively unknown as a personality.
