D.G.M. Press Release 3.8.05 (NOT TRUE)

It is with great sadness that we report that Mr. Robert Fripp (STILL LIVING) , the founder and benefactor of DGM was rushed to the Central Manchester Hospital (GOOGLED IT) in England at approxiamately 2:15 p.m. (A MADE UP TIME) suffering from horrible chest pain(HE'S NOT IN PAIN, HE'S FINE).  Despite the doctors' best efforts, Mr. Fripp was taken from us far to soon(LIES) at 2:53 p.m.(MADE UP TIME) as the result of a heart attack. He was 59 years old.(AGE TO DATE)  The musical community and DGM will forever mourn the loss of this Fallen Angel(SONG TITLE ON RED).  His last words were directed to the progressive rock community, in which his soulful expression of music was always accepted with much love:

"Queen is progressive rock"(QUEEN IS NOW ON ProgArchives)

Lest we forget a dying (STILL LIVING)man's wish:

Robert Fripp: 16 May 1946 - 3 August 2005(TODAY'S DATE)

It is with great sadness that we report the sad demise of a ProgArchives member called Tiresias, murdered by an irate King Crimson fan.

You should be banned for that kind of crass idiocy.  I don't find it funny in the least.  IMO

Ha. At least that post got me. One other person I had followed though the media died just a litte time ago in unexpected way. And I haven't done much surfing, so I wasn't aware of such jokes as this. Congratulations to you!

Black humour -> After all, I think Fripp would be much happier dead. He would personally get rid of all his fans, which seem to bring an unbearable agony to his elevated soul.  He's also religious, so he would go to heaven.

You see, the problem is that I clicked on that, read it, and was immediately shocked to the point where I didn't even think about scrolling down.  I then emailed several Fripp loving friends and was unwittingly ensnared in your stupid, tasteless "joke."  I just don't think you can take into account the various ways something like that is going to be viewed and how people are going to react.  I found it so shocking that I immediately clicked out and began to search for news of it.  It would never have occurred to me that someone on this site would make a joke about the death of a prog giant, especially Fripp.  Whatever.

You know what is the ugly thing that can happen out of this?
That someday,I hope not before the next 30 years pass,Fripp will eventually end his mission on Earth and on the announcement of his death,we will say "Yeah,right,don't fool me twice"...

And that would be sad for such a person like Fripp...
