Toby Amies has succeeded in making a-grown-up film about working players of a certain age - living, dying, laughing, playing and rocking out! What Toby has not done is tell me what King Crimson is. But, that I already know. Perhaps some of those who have been touched by King Crimson and its music already know, too. Even so, it is unlikely that they have had an introduction to the mechanics of the process. And here is one excellent introduction.~ Robert Fripp
