bae: come over

me: i can’t, i’m recording close to the edge

bae: king crimson needs a new drummer

me:

"Well, I found Fripp extremely annoying and irritating. We went to his flat one day and it was like there was a line painted on the floor, an invisible line but it was definitely there. And one side was his half of the room and the other side was his girlfriend's and all his books were fanatically placed and I think they had plastic covers on them. He was just so meticulous it would drive me nuts!"

"I just found him like an old man. He would just practise for 29 hours a day and I always thought he was a robot rather than a musician. He was determined to be technically good but he never played with any soul, I don't think - it never touched my soul, put it that way. It wasn't his age, it was his mannerisms and the way he was. I suppose some people are born at 40 aren't they, you know what I mean?"

~ Charlotte Bates, Ian McDonald's girlfriend in the 1960s/1970s

This is so funny I need to repost this.

“Fripp was stunned, I know - he was heartbroken about it and I’m sure he still is, deep down. He probably hasn’t forgiven me for doing that … everyone was stunned.”

~ Ian McDonald discussing his departure from King Crimson

“I am no longer heartbroken, and haven’t been for many years; probably, since 1972. I have long since forgiven Ian, so long that I can’t remember when. Since we recognise in others what we know most deeply in ourselves: perhaps Ian is heartbroken, deep down?”
