You have had all that money can give you, but that wasn't enough. You became a thrill-seeker. Kill for the thrill. This thrill-seeking became the one great thing in your life, planning one thrill on another until the murder. Kill for the love of killing. Kill for the thrill. The thrill-seeker comes from all walks of life. He comes from the home, a home where the parents are too busy to treat their children with respect.

Movie Review: “In the Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson at 50”

Without explicitly saying so, “In the Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson at 50” paints the band as the Chinese Communist Party Congress and founder and leader Robert Fripp as a kind of Xi Jinping.

Like Xi, Fripp rules this band with a geopolitical iron fret hand and recruits and dismisses musicians - more than 20 in 50-plus years - to suit his current whims.

Some - like guitarist Adrian Belew, who believed he had a partnership with Fripp and blames his hair loss on the band - feel spurned.

Others - like bassist Trey Gunn - left of their own accord, saying membership in Crimson is like having “a low-grade infection.”

“I would be very unhappy in that new band.”

Fripp is happy with what he calls “the final incarnation of King Crimson,” but says the others between 1969 and 2013 were “wretched.”

The whole, sordid tale is there in Toby Amies’ film which distills a half-century of the band down to 85 minutes and follows it to its final 2021 concert in Japan.

The movie recently streamed and will be available on home video - along with a soundtrack album - Nov. 11. The LP will come in handy, for while “Court” features plenty of archival and contemporary footage, there are no complete songs.

Keeping with the unfree-society theme of the band, current members speak warily on camera - sometimes under Fripp’s watchful ears and eyes - and only Jakko Jakszyk (a super-fan who once had a dog called “Fripp”) and Bill Rieflin, who was ravaged with stage-4 colon cancer during the filming while on tour, seem to have attained most-favored-player status.

“I’m so tired,” are Rieflin’s poignant, final words in the film.

“Bill is an ongoing member of King Crimson from a way away,” Fripp says as the band carries on after Rieflin’s death as a seven-piece.

The film is not particularly entertaining, though it is entirely engaging, with the taciturn Fripp, who frequently disparages Amies’ questions and declares the whole endeavor a waste, at the dictatorial helm; and deep thinking, philosophically speaking musicians such as Mel Collins, Bill Bruford and Ian McDonald waxing philosophical in dignified English accents making for something that rolls more like a history film than a rock-umentary.

And because of that, Krim-fanatic nun in ankle socks and sandals seems perfectly normal. But of course, none of this is normal.

[mitjalovse]

The final LPs that were not intended as such rarely give us a glimpse into a potential departure that is just around the corner, they are basically understood as business as usual. For instance, R.E.M. shocked me with their decision to stop. While they apparently did plan to end with Collapse Into Now – they said so themselves – , one could foresee a future, where they continue to release their records at the elder statesmen everyone's familiar with, yet few pay attention to. To be honest, R.E.M. were like this for the last couple of albums, yet they still had a cachet of their past. However, they always seemed like a band on the constant move, so the last phase probably suffocated them – were the times actually telling them to quit?

TA: What's this, what did I miss?

RF: Everything. You missed everything. There was a determining, critical and pivotal scene in which the history, the origins and the future of King Crimson were presented, and you were not there. Thus rendering this DVD ineffectual and of little use or interest to all.

TA: Thanks.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Trey Anastasio, Basia, BBC Radio 1 (1967), Monica Bellucci, singer-songwriter Derek Buckwalter, Jill Corey, Marion Cotillard, Angie Dickinson, The Flintstones (1960 A.D.), Éamonn Ó Gallchobhair, Miki Howard, Cissy Houston, Deborah Kerr, music aficionado Robert Lapolt, Héctor Lavoe, John Lombardo (10,000 Maniacs—good to have met you), Ben Lovett (Mumford & Sons), Félix Luna, Frankie Lyman, Dewey Martin (Buffalo Springfield), Johnny Mathis, Marilyn McCoo, David Oistrakh, vocalist Tim Oliver, Sylvia Peterson (Chiffons), the 1935 premiere of Gershwin’s PORGY & BESS, Buddy Rich, Bill Rieflin (King Crimson), Rumi, Shaan, Marty Stuart (good to have met you), The Supremes’s 1968 “Love Child” single, Robby Takac (Goo Goo Dolls), Biggie Tembo, Elie Wiesel, Jack Wild, Barry Williams, Frank Zincavage (Romeo Void), and the iconic singer-songwriter, poet, and auteur of glam rock, Marc Bolan. He was the face of T. Rex, and his songwriting was an artful, impulsive mash of campy kitsch and cosmic medievalism, glitter, and psychedelia. Davy Jones (Monkees) was a big fan, and he and I went through a phase of studying Bolan’s music. Here’s Davy doing a cover of Bolan’s “Jeepster.” Marc left us too soon, but we thank you for the hours of joy you gave to us.
