RE: Fripper Gear Trivia

[stanitarium@earthlink.net]

apropos nothing-that one guy http://www.that1guy.com/ was opening up for 
Mermen and we were talking gear-he had a whammy pedal and an eclipse among 
a myriad of gear-he said and i quote: he liked how the whammy tracked 
better than the eclipse-and he didnt like that cause it cost so much.

"Jealousy is a terrible thing Bill ;-)"

I would love to own one eventide signal processor. just one, and  It would 
be an eclipse but it won't happen anytime soon :-) Of course I have a bit 
of gear envy. Doesn't everyone?  I don't really begrudge Mister Fripp his 
tools, he's  earned them or gets them. The few times I've been given stuff 
by manufacturers, I haven't exactly said no....... and who knows for sure, 
perhaps Eventide saw this as a big photo op gig and provided all the gear, 
perhaps he rented it from SIR? And also I realize as successful as he has 
been, he may still be needing to work and that a lot of musicians of that 
level of fame aren't exactly able to sit back and enjoy the good life like 
we all imagine they do. I do feel like western culture particularly here 
in America has gotten far too materialistic, and I'm just as guilty as the 
next person of desiring more and better tools, so Robert if you are 
reading this, its not you I'm railing against, its the wide spread greed 
in western civilization. Bobby Baby i'm not hate'n the player, i'm hate'n 
the Game!  So gimme one of those Goddamn ultra harmonizers will 
ya?????????Bill
