"Henry Cow always wanted to push itself, so sometimes we would write music that we couldn't actually play – I found that very encouraging." - Lindsay Cooper, 1998
"I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip." - Roger Waters, 2014
"I'm a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities." - David Bowie, 1973
Adrian Belew quipped on Facebook that this must be his replacement in KC.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Haha! Nice one, Ade.
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
Could someone explain to a non-American who this guy is ?

He's the Quarterback of the Alabama University College Football team. They are known as The Crimson Tide. Alabama have won two National Titles recently which is a pretty big deal in the USA as College Football regularly gets 100,000+ crowds for games and is nationally televised.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Perhaps that new KC lineup of eight (wasn't it?) will sell some 20 more copies or gig tickets on this alone.

A cool collectible would be this magazine signed by members of King Crimson.
I'm waiting for one of you to photoshop Fripp's head on his shoulders.
And I'm waiting to see when Fripp threatens to sue them
I wonder how many SI readers even know what King Crimson references? It's a clever play on words no matter what. BTW, does anyone know why Alabama is called the Crimson Tide? I have no idea. Works well as a line in a Steely Dan song though. OK, now I have Decon Blue running through my brain....
Google is your friend
The name "Crimson Tide" is supposed to have first been used by Hugh Roberts, former sports editor of the Birmingham Age-Herald. He used "Crimson Tide" in describing an Alabama-Auburn game played in Birmingham in 1907, the last football contest between the two schools until 1948 when the series was resumed. The game was played in a sea of mud and Auburn was a heavy favorite to win.
But, evidently, the "Thin Red Line" played a great game in the red mud and held Auburn to a 6-6 tie, thus gaining the name "Crimson Tide." Zipp Newman, former sports editor of the Birmingham News, probably popularized the name more than any other writer.
