Bill Bruford is playing in San Francisco next week (with someone from Yes
whose name I don't remember, sorry).

I'd heard that Fripp has given up on King Crimson again.  Of the new Crimson
work, Discipline was good, Beat was ok, but the most recent album was fairly
hopeless, so I'm glad they're not trying for a fourth.

I have some of the early Crimson albums -- I agree that Islands and Larks
Tongues in Aspic are good.  Some of the sounds in the latter are similar
to Beat, in particular 'Book of Saturdays' reminds me of 'Heartbeat' (or is it
'Two Hands'?  I haven't listened to any Crimson for a while).  
The best way to listen to the more recent Crimson work, though, is *not*
to compare it to the old.
