Jakko singing Adrian songs. Hmmmmmmmmm.

I read a recent interview with Adrian where he described being fired by Fripp via email. Cold.

That said, I wish they would play a show closer to home.sad

Fripp posted those emails, wasn't as bad as it sounded....   as he wanted to go back to the 70's material.  Got to meet Adrian, Tony, etc, at the "meet and greet" at the Aladdin in Portland (OR) several years ago, great guys (funny stories).  I had tickets to the tues show in Seattle, but was forced to sell (health, $, and a 5 hour drive just to get there).

Tony Levin took a few pics of us, outside and inside the Aladdin a few years ago, our new professional photographer, LOL;
