I thought at first this post was a joke. But I fear it isn't.

[GregK]

They un-retire.

I thought it was a joke also. Fripp has his nose in the air so much, that he hasn't seen his shoes in ages.

Edit for spelling

I understand Sonny Rollins voice is featured on 'The Simpson's' Tonight.

I'm looking forward to Peter Brötzmann taking over as host on Gardener's World while Monty is on holiday. Though I have visions of a flame thrower and radical redesigning of the long borders.

Raising money for charity, nothing wrong with that.

[JSngry]

And TV game shows, nothing wrong with them either.

Seriously.

If they take his picture, will he leave?

Marvellous!

They were living in Broad Chalke, not far farom Salisbury until recently (not sure if they are still there). The house previously owned by Cecil Beaton !

Fripp hides his location as 'Bredenborough'.

Though he seems happy to share the minutiae of his everyday life on line:

Maybe you recognise the street there, Sidewinder. Then we can all call round for tea.

He originates from Wimborne Minster.

'Bredenborough' must be code for Salisbury. I recognise the photos of the town centre ! He must still live in Broad Chalke or there-abouts.

Next time I am in the Salisbury Waitrose/John Lewis I'll look out for Toyah pushing a cart.

Fripp is a very Dorset name, so no suprise with origination from Wimborne Minster.

Screened tonight, available in the UK on ITV Player for a month. I actually was quite pleasantly surprised by this show. Bob is clearly a very devoted husband and indeed they are a very devoted couple. His rather endearing west country burr reminded me of the short spoken interludes he recited on Giles, Giles and Fripp's (The Cheerful Insanity of).

My wife saw this last night, at her friend's. I asked her about Robert Fripp and she didn't know who she was and didn't take any notice of the other contestants because her friend's cousin, Gabby Logan (a TV sports presenter), and her husband (Scottish rugby player), were on and my wife and her friend were gossiping about Gabby all the time she wasn't on.

I thought we didn't make distinctions between "art" and "entertainment", Bev?

[A Lark Ascending]

I wasn't aware I had.

I've always found Fripp's music first rate entertainment. Hope I've never described it as art!

Just because he looks like an OAP, is married to Toyah and his sartorial sense seems off the pegg at M&S, doesn't mean he's totally devoid of his muse. But in saying that, I haven't followed his work since the 80s.

I caught an interview with David Byrne the other day, he's gone old too: a puffy grey face and almost a double chin on his neck. But he definitely still has something creative to give.
