Fripp rules. Anyone heard "The Power to Believe" yet? Appropriate cover art.

I'm glad someone else knows of him. He's actually relevent to this list, viz.: There exists a "King Crimson collector's club" wherein, for $$ up front, you receive CDs in the future which are put together from concert tapes, which he judges to be not worth releasing otherwise. (Some have *awful* audio quality but of interest to fans, some are as high quality as modern studio work but are live performances.) This is different from the Foobar Record Club where the albums already exist. The KCCC is based entirely on reputation. He also leaves the copyrights with the artists, rather than publishers, and has written several rants on this :-) "Contrary to common practice within the music and record industry, both artists own the copyright in their work. " in his own words. (Albeit this is a mere biz model choice, and all are free to implement their own policies, although RF frames it morally.)
