Okay, first things first... DON'T TELL ME HIS NAME! Hold on, lemme try this again... DON'T JUST TELL ME HIS NAME!!! Okay, there we go. Basically, I've forgotten the name of the bass player from King Crimson. Bass player/singer for King Crimson (heh). Also, bass player/singer for Asia. Also, bass player (for a little while) for Family. I COULD look it up...if I wanted to be a quitter. But I don't. Instead, gimme some kind of hint, something to let it JUST sink in, so I can leave the head slapping/embarrassed memories resurgences up to myself. This has been plaguing me for two weeks. Two...bleedin'...weeks. I feel silly. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we...

He wasn't in Boston too, was he? This is MADDENING. I can almost see his name in my mind's eye...perhaps I could just slip a small peek at the Larks Tongues in Aspic liner notes...it wouldn't kill me... ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight.

Nah. I mean, I'm on THE INTERNET, perhaps the most powerful resource for research since the Library at Alexandria burned down...if I wanted to know like that, hell, I'd just mosey on over to the top ten albums at this very site. Red is probably, what, number seven?

I understand exactly what you mean. There are times a name is on the tip of my tongue, and instead of looking it up, I'd rather sit and nearly wet on myself just trying to figure it out.

That's the situation I've been in for almost two weeks...I mean, it's been off and on, I ain't wet myself over it yet, but I'm hoping this thread will whip me into shape but quick!

JOHN MOTHER FARTIN' WETTON!!! I just crept into bed, and started running through first names and attaching last names to them. I eventually settled onto John...then started adding not-weird-but-not-normal names for the last bit, and then it hit me. And I actually got out of bed to post this. Watch me be wrong. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we... Gotta stick together." -I. Anderson |

Heh. Unfortunately, I see that now, in hindsight. I'm not the brightest iceberg in the ocean liner. Valiant effort though. Perhaps if I'd been paying better attention, I'd still be in bed right now. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight.
