6 degrees of Fripp...hmm...how about this?  Metallica...Kirk Hammet grew 
up in the same area as Primus' Les Claypool, who headed up a band called 
the Flying Frog Brigade, to which one Adrian Belew has perfomed live 
onstage with Les, Adrian has worked with Fripp in King Crimson...that's 
only 3 degrees.  But I was trying to go the route where I connect Adrian 
to the Talking Heads, which for some reason, I thought Brian Eno produced 
one of their albums, but I could be mistaken, Now Brian Eno as we know, 
produced a solo Fripp album that saw use of Frippertronics.  Isn't that an 
early form of looping?  So would it stand to reason that Looping is 
actually a one man Prog band?  Wait, what did I just type?
