Great to read my brother Robert Fripp’s quotes. Did you know he is as good a public speaker as he is a guitarist? He will be in the USA in November speaking in Seattle, LA and Phoenix. Sister to Robert….Patricia Fripp
For some odd reason, my early impression was that he was stuffy and overly intellectual (in addition to being an amazing musician). Au contrare. He’s also a pretty funny guy. Not to mention low key. Check out some of the talks on his site.
