You took our 288...and I would have had it and answered yer question "HOOOOOOOOO's Adrian BlOOOOOOOOO" much sooner except, I went to pull the car back into the garage...had my daughter cleaning it for her "manual labor punishment" (part of a long list of manual labor for the yungin's indescritions)...and umm, well, she'd decided that she wanted to have the radio on, and well, then she got a little warm in the sun on this beautiful day and she added the a/c...all while the car wasn't running....soooooo, ummm, I had to get my neighbor to give me a "jump" (this is the DemocRat one ...see, have to be nice at least for these kinds of favors)....and while the car was running and juicing up I decided to try and push out the dent that a valet put in my bumper and claimed he didn't and the boss told me not to get it fixed on the count of we're gettin' new fangled company cars, but it's buggin' me...so...meanwhile, back at the "Mud Farm" you were snagging 'Ole 88 & my "288" post....tsk tsk tsk!!!

Now for the question of Adrian Belew ('scuse me whilst I pick myself up off the floor from laughing)...and you claim to be a musician...hehehe...I would bet that CM knows who he is!!!! However..since I gots to *edjukate* ya'.....

Almost anyone who has listened to music since the late '70s has Probably heard Adrian in one role or another. It could have been with Frank Zappa, David Byrne, Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Herbie Hancock or Riuichi Sakamoto in the '70s into the '80s. It might have been in some elevator or chi-chi restaurant where they were playing "You Can Call Me Al", "Boy in the Bubble" or something else from Graceland.

You might have thought that you heard him in the original King Crimson on "In The Court of the Crimson King", but you didn't. He was listening as a fan then, and didn't become a Crim until 1981. If you were one of the 3 million plus who saw the Bowie "Sound+Vision Tour" in 1990, Adrian was the guy with the ponytail. If you're Generation X, you probably heard his sensational guitar solos on NIN or Crash Test Dummies, his song-writing in "Fantasy" by Mariah or his production, guitar and cello playing on "Flood" by Jars of Clay.

A multi-instrumentalist (he started on drums and is in the Guitar Gallery of Greats), consummate arranger and gold record producer, #1 songwriter and terrific vocalist, Adrian Belew is the frontman for the current Crimson Kings.

He's done songs with David Bowie & others.....Just go check out his page, will ya'???? Yer missin out on some kick a$$ music!!!!
