What I am really curious about is what made Pinder pack it in after
reaching such a high note in 72.I wonder if some of that creative liberty

I asked Ian McDonald why he left King Crimson and he couldn't give me an answer that really meant anything. It was sort of sad. I wonder where they would have gone if the band had stayed intact for a few more albums.
