   My first exposure to King Crimson was in my teens, so basically around the early 1980s. I know their earlier work, as well as some of their later work, but this period holds a special place in my heart.

   Hope the week is going well for those in the Frogpond. I’m here sporadically. Local electoral issues and so on have had me a bit preoccupied. Glad to have that over with.

   Then there is this fucking guy. I have been listening to him my whole life, and still his voice shocks me.

     The perfectly realized expression of an elemental emotional state:

     Stark, terrifying and gorgeous.

       It very well might be my favorite song ever. I’ve listened to it hundreds of times, and if it pops up on shuffle, I hit replay every single time. I posted Crying because to me it’s a better example of his actual voice, but Running Scared is probably a better example of his skill. That’s just me, I ain’t no expert.
