“The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear, tomorrow, I'll be crying
Yes, I fear, tomorrow, I'll be crying
Yes, I fear, tomorrow, I'll be crying
Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known
Knowledge is a deadly friend
If no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind, I see
Is in the hands of fools
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl, a cracked and broken path
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear, tomorrow, I'll be crying
Yes, I fear, tomorrow, I'll be crying
Yes, I fear, tomorrow, I'll be crying
Crying, crying
Yes, I fear, tomorrow, I'll be crying
Yes, I fear, tomorrow, I'll be crying
Yes, I fear, tomorrow, I'll be crying
Crying”

You'd think that with all the badass female characters in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure the series would be more popular today. Also HOLY CRAP PLANET WAVES IS AN UNDERRATED FIGHT.
(underrated much like Vento Aureo. where dat anime teaser at)
i spent way too long trying to think of an album thatd make a good portmanteau but nothing worked. cat (its like lizard but its a cat now)
King Crimson at Hotel New Otani Garden in Tokyo; December 1st., 1981 (featuring Robert Fripp, Tony Levin, Adrian Belew & Bill Bruford) (Pt. 2 of 2…)
"So why in 1974, returning from life on the road since 1969, did I wish to leave it behind? Because it was utterly mad. Utterly mad. You can say to the other members of the band, 'Come on, this is mad.' And they say, 'But we're going to be as successful as Pink Floyd in Europe next year," which is also true. My concern was that the creative impulse is acting through KC. The actual behaviour, the actual life of the band was going to go off course. It hadn't gone off course but it was being set up to do that."
"I suggested [Ian McDonald to replace me] to David Enthoven, whose comment was 'We're not interested in King Crimson without you'. So at that point I let go of it. I called up Bill and John and said it's over. This is not a discussion. For me there was nothing to discuss: I was going and I'd done what I could to keep it going."
~ Robert Fripp
"The confidence level after Central Park was phenomenal both from band and public. When I came back and we started recording Red I was full of optimism."
"I think some people are as wary of success as they are of failure. There were two of us champing at the bit to make the band as successful as possible because we could see what was possible, what we could do. What was on the horizon for us was really close and tangible. And one third of the band was going 'hang on a minute'.
"The more popular the band is, the less control there is. There you have a fairly big factor in the demise of the band. It's a pity because the chemistry was incredible. Ian McDonald was tantalisingly close to rejoining or at least touring with the band and that would have been the icing on the cake for me."
~ John Wetton
"John tended to say that after Central Park and making Red we were on the way up and the next thing would've been fantastic. Me? I have no idea. I wasn't looking that far ahead. I was just trying to get through Red, which was hard work. I think we were all exhausted. None of us had any idea how tiring all this was... I think Robert had spotted this that Crimson was not the kind of band that should go on and on. We would've inevitably blown up had it carried on."
"I look back on it now with a great deal of fondness. It's very easy with this distance and all this scholarly enquiry to nit-pick but we should not forget that it was a blast! It was, excuse the language, fucking great!"
~ Bill Bruford
now I wrote a whole thing about King Crimson's Frame by Frame for my professor to change the assignment... *eye twitches*
I came across this version a while back and it's quite lovely. John Wetton may be no Greg Lake, but he can still hold his own on one of my fav King Crimson songs :)
Bill Bruford pointing out his UNAUTHORIZED King Crimson tie.
Robert Fripp speaking of his "closest to a really close personal friend", David Cross.

Anyways, remember when KC only made Adrian's version available on a 4-CD box set (£45.90 for a used one)? God, I hope nothing bad happens to it!
PLEASE LOOK AT THIS VIDEO OF ADRIAN BELEW FUCKING AROUND WITH A GUITAR SYNTHESIZER SO HARD THAT IT STARTS TO BECOME SENTIENT AND HE APPEARS MILDLY CONCERNED
David Cross because I love him. This is probably going to be the most down bad thing I'll post cause... uh... his shirt's unbuttoned like Wetton's in that one picture. Enjoy! 🤠
Here. The iconic "I'm their musical barometer" interview.
