I completely agree with this. Fripp continues to produce different and
interesting music even after having worked all these years at it. It's 
refreshing
to see someone that's not content to sit on their laurels and rehash their 
former
glory (or worse yet, to keep playing the same old tired material from 
20-30 years
ago). It might be what the audience wants (or thinks they want), but I 
can't
imagine it would be satisfying to the musician.
