Mellotronists

> I had a much more pleasant experience about 15 years ago when I boarded a 
small commuter flight to Jamestown and had Chic Corea sit down right next to 
me. He had no problems answer questions and conducting a very interesting 
conversation for about an hour... What a nice, open person he is

Yeah, but so what?  So the above fits right in to your expectations of how 
someone should be... the inference being that Fripp is not nice, closed and is 
somehow wrong for not taking a fan's expectations into account. Well, if that 
doesn't work for him  then it doesn't work for him and at least he's had the 
grace to advise people well enough in advance.  

Actually, in my experience, Robert is a warm, charming, polite and cuddlesome 
fellow with a large smidgeon of humour thrown in for good measure and plays a 
mean Mellotron which, after all, is what this site is about.
