for pointing out how silly I am.
really folks, this is nothing more than a tiny misunderstanding
between life-long friends. it happens to everyone.
last night, without saying anything to me,
my wise wife martha left a book in my reading place.
she knew I would wake up before everyone
and likely I would read for a while.
the book she left was
"Don't Sweat The Small Stuff...
and it's all small stuff" by Richard Carlson.
the title says it all.
I give the blogger the benefit of a doubt.
he shouldn't have used the term "unethical"
but was by his own admission "in despair".
I'm sorry for my overreaction to his overreaction.
by the way, there is nothing in the world
wrong between me and robert.
never was.
but thanks to all of you who expressed your support.
it is uplifting to know so many people care.
now...back to life.
You are a great person, Adrian.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad that a KC option still exists. hoo-ray!
ReplyDeleteAs for Adrian being a great person, well, I wouldn't know.
Misguided liberal, yes. Great musician, yes.
:P
That's a fantastic outlook on it all Mr. Belew. I'm glad you're in a "better place" mind-wise now. Best of luck to you in the rest of the new year, Alex.
ReplyDeletedid you finish writing the book yet ?
ReplyDeletesorry , Pt2 .
These things do happen allright, I was in a band that broke up over a misinterpretation of an email between band members, could've put the fire out with a simple phone call in the first place! No need to apologize for your over-reaction, we love your passion, we can hear it in your guitar playing...rock on Mr B.
ReplyDeletecheers andy from OZ
Adrian,
ReplyDeletePlease consider using Penston's image as your next album sleeve. "Unethical Management Practices" is surely a title ripe for the picking now.
And thanks for signing your own leg for me the other week at The Vanguard.
Now, as Barry said...
ONWARD! Good chap, the future beckons!
Cheers,
Owen
Thank god you got your sensibilities back. I was just about to write you off as another rock star having a hissy fit. You artistes with your artistic temperaments...what are you like??? :-)
ReplyDeleteplease understand this once and forever:
ReplyDeleterobert is THE DECIDER.
there will be NO new krimson music
until he decides there will be.
there will be NO krimson concerts
until he decides there should be.
there will only be releases of archival material,
because he has decided that.
the Power Trio will be touring again
in April and as always I will be
available for signatures and conversation.
please save your breath and mine
and delete the questions about
krimson touring, new krimson records, etc.
if you must know more, go to the source. DGM.
cheers,
adrian
you are a most generous artist with you r time and music. i have been a fan since 1981 and have never been less than thrilled with your musical output. i have seen all your tours and have always felt your joy of performing shines thru to all who witness it. have a happy new year and i'll see you at the next l.a. area show. a devoted belew fan

Hakuna matata!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Happy New Year to you and the Mrs.
xoxo
Maybe this'll sound corny to some, but by sharing this little tidbit you have - with a big nod to Martha and the late Mr. Carlson - rejuvenated in me what I need. The title really does say it all. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAdrian-In my mind at least, I could never see what all the fuss was over. I've always understood that KC was a 'RF thing' from the beginning. It's good to see you set the record straight. I'd love to see the Trio in Toronto this year. I'd love to see the Bears as well. KC would be a lot of fun too. The bottom line being, it's about the music. Sometimes so-called fans lose perspective. It's not always what we think we need, it's about what the artist(s) want to do. I for one look forward to seeing you live again!
ReplyDeleteCheers

I still think it would be a great idea to write that book. At least, once E is released.
ReplyDeleteAde,
ReplyDeleteHurrah for your wife. Don't let that stop you from writing the book, though.
Dan Anderson
I echo the others who say "Please write a book!"
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to read it!
Forget the book. I want you to release your own range of chocolate snacks.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm, Belewbelicious!
I was reading your post, where you say:
ReplyDelete"please understand this once and forever:

and earlier:
"really folks, this is nothing more than a tiny misunderstanding
between life-long friends. it happens to everyone."
Interesting how a tiny misunderstanding between life-long friends can lead to a decision that has a shattering effect on the life of a band! Not to mention the fans. (I used the word "decision" here because I understand that only the DECIDER could have made this decision.)
I'm still hoping (probably against all odds) that KC will go out with a bang rather than a whimper.
That picture is Hilarious! you got to admit - it's quite a laugh.
