Hurrah, we have a new topic series which will gives us a lot of pleasure! The coming month, all the prog stars you know will have their own "miserable git" topic. Of course in the section where they belong: the prog music lounge. Other suggestions: Is Rogger Waters a miserable git? Is Peter Gabriel a miserable gut? Is Fish a miserable twit?

"Is Bob Fripp a miserable git?"
Answer: Yes. But so was Beethoven. So what? The music's what matters!  ------------- [IMG]http://www.herring.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DRMkillb.JPG"> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4816930.stm - Right the Copyright Wrongs (Bill Thompson's BBC blog - essential reading!) |

Bob is his nickname Lindsay, we of course mean Robert (or Rob) Fripp
but Bob is another shortened version of Robert..., don't ask why, it
just is. Like Bob Dylan for instance. Robert Zimmerman being his real name of course. -------------

Robert - Bob - what's the problem with that? And isn't Bob Dylan American? 
If you Americans think we English have crazy names, look at some of your own! (And note I am English but I use an American name. Confused? Not half!) ------------- [IMG]http://www.herring.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DRMkillb.JPG"> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4816930.stm - Right the Copyright Wrongs (Bill Thompson's BBC blog - essential reading!) |

| Are malicious threads like this one, that attack respected, accomplished musicians actually started by bitter, failed musicians who are jealous of the achievements of others? And by the way, all the bands who aren't among my personal favorites are terribly OVERRATED!!!!! |

Fan of the Blues Brothers then Elwood? Maybe you're also a fan of Jimmy Herring? Indeed, Bob Dylan is most definitely American. I prefer more miserable artists anyhow, it brings out their best side. Imagine if Peter Hammill was cheerful all his life, he'd write upbeat pop songs, good upbeat pop songs mind, like Sunshine. It just wouldn't be the same. -------------

Another really dumb post. Whoever started this is the true "miserable git". Robert Fripp is a genius, and one of the biggest contributers to prog. music and its history. He's also very smart, and a funny guy. And...he's got a cool wife (singer Toyah Wilcox). http://www.robertfrippunplugged.com/ - http://www.robertfrippunplugged.com/ http://www.toyahwillcox.com/ - http://www.toyahwillcox.com/

Rob Fripp is miserable and it shows in his guitar playing. Someone please explain the meaning of the word melody to him if you ever meet

Elwood, Jimmy Herring is an amazing guitarist who is currently playing
in "Jazz Is Dead" a jazz band who plays jazz versions of Grateful Dead
tunes. This band featured for one album Billy Cobham on
drums. Jimmy Herring has also played with Allman Brothers Band
and Aquarium Rescue Unit. That probably does not interest you whatsoever, oh well. -------------

Tommy, If you want to hear melody from Fripp, just listen to his solo album Exposure. There's tons of melody on it. Otherwise, if you can't handle Fripp's advanced level of melody, then go and listen to Mariah Carey or Madonna. Simple music for simple minds.
