70's saving graces

[Jay Herzog]

	While so called "prog rock" like King Crimson was always 
	slagged by the Rolling Stone (the mag, not the band) mentality,
	I think the work of Fripp and Co. holds up rather well. Anything's
	better than those mellow California cocaine cowboys. I read an 
	interview that Fripp did with Joe Strummer of the Clash years ago
	where Joe recalls with pleasure seeing King Crimson in the early
	70's. And yes, one of Crimson's more extreme guitar workouts would
	be an excellent accompaniment to Gravity's Rainbow (I nominate
	Lark's Tongue in Aspic).
