Open Letter to Robert Fripp
posted by John @ 9:06 AM

Mr. Fripp:

Say it ain't so, Bob...say it ain't so.  It has recently come to my attention that you have been vacationing in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.  When I say Pacific Northwest, I really mean Redmond, WA.  And, when I say vacationing, I really mean visiting Microsoft's campus to collaborate with them on audio for Windows Vista.  When I said audio, I mean random system sounds.

This may sound like the whimpering of a devoted fan, one that feels that his idol should be encased in lucite and remain the musician and artist he loves, and in some ways it is, but please reconsider getting involved with system sounds.  Hordes of people will be exposed to your skill and talent -- not a bad thing -- except those hordes will never explore your previous work.  Forever more, you will be "the guy that did the Vista beeps".

If you're short on cash, I'd be happy to start a collection.  If you want more noteriety, there are options...like threatening the president, streaking in a World Cup match, wearing a rainbow wig at the Super Bowl, editing your own Wikipedia entry...you get the picture.

Your number one fan,

John

Hey, just do what all number one fans do. Wait until he has a car accident near your somewhat secluded home, kidnap him, and hobble him with a sledgehammer.

Aaargh!

Good image, Robert Fripp, streaking at a world cup match (avec guitar), whilst playing Hall of the Mountain King as Brian Eno body tackles the police to give him sprinting room. :)

Hey Martin!

Speaking of Eno, he has a new record out. He was also interviewed in the last issue of Mix magazine.
