Actually Fripp can be quite personable. I remember when the League of
Gentlemen played in East Lansing. While we were waiting outside for the
doors to open, Fripp was walking along the queque, looking for people
trying to smuggle in recording equipment. He spotted one fan who was
holding a philosophy text and immediately struck up a conversation about
the book with the fan, who was sweating bullets because he had hollowed
out the book to hide his tape recorder and was afraid Fripp was going to
grab the book and look up a favorite passage.
