Forgotten

Robert Fripp is fighting to be recognised for the greatest guitar feedback of all time:

Fripp wrote in his post, “The dispute centres on the refusal of PPL and the David Bowie estate to acknowledge that [Fripp’s] contribution to the ‘Heroes’ and ‘Scary Monsters’ albums is that of a Featured Player. This accreditation as a Featured Player is supported by Brian Eno, Tony Visconti, David Bowie himself (although the terminology was not then in use), and the Court Of Public Opinion over four decades..."

Meanwhile at Vulture Rachel Handler has interviewed the wonderful Fiona Apple:

You've always been good at that — controlling your own narrative. How did you develop that power?

I don't even think it's a power. I do think I've always had it. It's honestly a direct result of me never getting people's phone numbers and never getting chummy with a lot of people. So then people don't think of me to call up and badger to come out and do stuff. So I never go out and do stuff, because it's never expected. My family hasn't seen me at Christmas celebrations for years and years. So I just don't get invited anymore. [Laughs.] I mean, that's an exaggeration. 

I assumed in the beginning I could do whatever I want. If you're just doing that from the beginning, and don't have any doubt about it, then that's how it goes. I had no idea I was setting my own narrative by not acting a certain way or taking anybody's advice.

Full fantastic interview is here.
