There's a Fripp interview at http://et.stok.co.uk/articles/163-25.html
during his Frippertronics tour era where he touches briefly on the
'subject' :)
---
RG: Do you feel that what you're doing now is rock 'n' roll?
RF: Some of it is finding that. Rock 'n' roll is characterized by an
energy which works from below the navel. Some Frippertronics has
that. Funny enough, it's generally only the women that recognize
it. 'Cause it's not often crass and straightforeward. (RF makes
loud drunken animal noises)
RG: More sensual?
RF: Well, it varies, doesn't it? But the point is that generally men
come up and say, "What a remarkably good idea that was, stacking
those fourths one on top of the other. Oh, remarkable. Remarkable
parallell modulation there. Yes, very good, very good." Women come
up and sort of, "Hmmm! Yes!" (warmly). I've had more propositions
from Frippertronics in three months, two months in America, than I
had in six years of rock 'n' roll with Crimson. Yeah, really
astounding.
RG: So how does that affect you? How do you respond?
RF: Oh, generally go home and go to bed and pack my suitcase to be
getting up and in a fit state to go on the road the next day.
That's what I generally do. I see to business.
