anymore.

What?  RF hasn't played any of the cutting-edge pieces from "The League of
Gentlemen" since touring 70 venues with that band in 1980 or 81.  I 
remember
being at the show in Asbury Park's Fast Lane and thinking, "This is
IMPORTANT!" - and I'm sorry there weren't any more works in that regard.  I
also remember the crap corporate rock that was being foisted on people back
then, and still think of TLoG as a gem in the midst of it.  I guess it 
ain't
for everyone, judging by the above.

Even without the multiple collisions I had with Mr Fripp that night, I say
that it was a breath of fresh air, and I'm sorry there isn't more of it.
