used to be able to recite his lyrics from memory...

I did a photo collage project on the lyrics to "Epitaph" in high school (and got an A on it!).  RIP.  He did interesting work with King Crimson in that magical era.

"I Talk to the Wind" was my motto at the one party I went to in HS. 21st Century Schizoid man constantly ran through mt mind whenever i spoke to the neurosurgeon who removed my tumor this summer with a DaVinci Robot. I was lucky it was benign. "Epitaph" should be the theme song for the next four years...RIP, Mr Sinfield

RIP Pete

found his book of whimsical lyrics/poetry sometime in the mid 70s (well after I had been exposed to KC)
