Can I be one of the first to wish a very happy birthday to the nude Christmas tree wrestler hisself. Happy forthcoming birthday Adrian, thanks for all the presents!
Happy almost birthday to you... Happy almost birthday tooooo youuuuuu... Happy almost birthday to Adriannnnnn Happy almost birthday tooooo youuuuuuuuuu!
Yep. a happy birthday wish for tomorrow from me too. Every December 23rd, your birthday always pops up in my mental datebook. Once i memorize stuff like that... that's it.
I remember seeing your name, Adrian, for the first time on that album. Then, I distinctly remember, when I heard a radio commercial for Crim's Displine album and the announcer was reeling off the names of the members ... "They're back! Robert Fripp, Bill Bruford, Adrian Belew, and Tony Levin ..." I remember thinking, I KNOW that name Adrian Belew! And I checked back on Sheik Yerbouti and thought that was SO cool. (I was a total Crim-head ... I had never heard of Tony Levin, though.) I ran to Peaches (a precursor of Tower Records) and bought Discipline and listened to it that night about 20 times in a row.
So beautiful he was.
ReplyDeleteAnd on the winter solstice, no less.... Everyone should spin a song in his honor today!
ReplyDeleteFunny, Ike Willis is playing here tonight. Adrian, did you play with Ike or did you guys miss each other by moments?

ReplyDeleteAs for Frank... he's the only Frank Zappa I never met... so far.
