Legend, mastermind, cosmic, weird as fuck. These are just a few of the gazillion words I could use to describe King Crimson leader Robert Fripp. Of course, this is in all due respect since he truly is a one of kind individual. Is he human? That has yet to be decided but regardless, he is an amazing musician who changed the world of music for the better part of 50 years. This week, King Crimson’s official site announced that Robert Fripp would be visiting North America for a speaking tour of select cities.
The following dates have been confirmed for Robert Fripp and David Singleton’s speaking tour of Canada and the US later in the year. Likely topics that will be explored during their time on stage will include: Where does Music come from? What does it take to survive the music business? When does the impossible become possible? Can Music change the world? Why did Fripp put on a tutu and dance to Swan Lake at the end of his garden? Who is The Vicar?
