| Comments: | I salute you for your work Mr. Seinfield, i been a truly
fan of King Crimson since the first time i listened to it. Epitaph and Moonchild still captivate me every time i listen to it because of the words on it. Your lyrics are a precious gift for a music lover and player like me! There's some artists that cannot be imitated or copied by anyone, you're a member of that club. Matt S - Quebec, Canada |

| Comments: | I would like to share a story with you..
When I was 9 years old and living on a sail boat with my mother father and sister, I used to have reoccurring nightmares from listening to the crimson king. The nightmare back in those days, and due because I was only 9 years old, were simple but frightening. The dream was that covered myself with my bed sheet in my bedroom while I could hear a Fox slowly walking around in my bedroom with a heavy breathing sound searching for me. I have not had that dream in over 10 years, nor have I even heard the music from the CK. I am 22 years old now, and for some reason remembered the tune from "I TALK TO THE WIND". I downloaded the song, and played it last night while I was about to go to sleep. Sure enough, I had a nightmare.. not the same as I did when I was 9 years old, this nightmare was much more complex and dark, but it had the same effect. I woke at 4am with sweat beads running down my face. The power of music to revive memories and dreams long forgotten puts me in awe. I am so disappointed that music has turned into a frenzy of young girls in skirts and vehicles with 20 inch rims. In any case, peace and love to all who remember. Brian Desmot |

| Comments: | When the black dog howls at my door you have no idea, as indeed you should not, that it is often most amazing glowful to read the charming, calm, quiet comments posted here regarding my early works and of course Jon's exploration and vast illustration of them. Thank you. Blessings, *PjS*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If I actually kept a diary. (i.e. apart from my lyrics) 2 weeks ago it might have said. Recently returned from 3 days of happy madness in London. Thursday- I did a BBC2 interview for "I Love Xmas". A program to be shown on Xmas eve. I rambled for more than an hour which should mean at least 3 minutes of my ho, ho waffle is aired. The questions were wide ranging and well researched but I had to keep remembering to include them in front of my answers. . . Q: So Peter who are the 'they' that said "There would be snow at Christmas and peace on earth? A: (2nd take) - "Sometimes people wonder why the song IBIFC starts the way it does with the lines...etc etc. and perhaps to find the reason you have to hear the last line of the song, which I think people often miss, as the 60 piece orchestra and 30 piece choir reach a vast musical crescendo of hope for the future. And the line is, "The Christmas we get we deserve...." as in, 'the government we get ..' and all of those gray figures who again and again convince us to keep on dreaming while their actions continually erode our innocence and grind down our amazement. . ." Or words to that effect ... somewhere else I recall saying something about the song was written in many layers and is actually all rather confusing. But, If you look at it closely; Christmas is a very confusing Festival. There was much more. Think I did OK. At least Amnesty get some dosh - Which is nice. & I get an unedited copy of me at my oft noted, ahem, supercallmehalfamysticendlessrambalacious. No time to be nervous...late, walked straight in and sat on the blue chair beneath the 'tell us all' lights! You see, my best friend Nick visited, dragged and drove me from my seaside womb (to break a mounting 21st Thyroid Man phobia!). To do the above, appear at Sid's book signing and not the least see his new restaurant in which I have, I am sure wisely, invested a few hard earned pounds of my pension. The journey should have been a calm two and a half hourish drive. Hah! It was four and a half hours of storm, rain, roaring monster trucks, jams and one lane///three lane conesville hell. I have always been a very nervous passenger. You understand now why the interview was in comparison relatively unstressed. One more thing. Nick, in need of brunch, suggested that we stop briefly somewhere, as he put it. 'clean and cheerful', for a bite to eat. Which we did. MacDonalds are not famous for their charitable deeds. So it was pleasing, as I prodded my food, to notice they, at least it so appears, employ the sight-impaired to design & decorate their furniture. ***** On Friday - I signed hundreds of a new bio/book . . *In the Court Of King Crimson* (+ albums, CD's, ...etc) with its author, Mr. Sid Smith, and four other distinguished exish members of said infamous ensemble (plus a near as... P. Giles). We sat around a small table, in a hot, claustrophobic nook of Helter Skelter's book shop.Though JW since he arrived late, for he had been rehearsing, had to stand as he scribbled. No chair for him! Nor as such for the many kind and patient souls who queued for our all too brief attention. I say that but since I was a 'surprise' signer . . .although a couple of people had copies of my old book ...hmm... very confusing? If smiles and bright eyes speak louder than words, despite the discomfort, the shop was bathed in a beaming uproar. To be sat at the table was a privilege. I am sure you could see, despite my constant flow of bad jokes, the other chaps were also very happy and I hope if you were there, and are reading this, you were as well. Yes its hard to tell with Sid ;-) at least so he says in his diary. Now comes the curse of the follow up! I apologise if I seemed to flee a bit rapidly.. I was rather overwhelmed, in need of some air and ... well.. Phew. ***** Although I wouldn't tell Sid directly, since he is but an enormous Geordie Jongleur, the book is actually rather good. There is even a photo of myself and dear Stephanie on our wedding day, with whom plus others Sat'y night I ate, as you do, a fine curry. The restaurant menu was eight pages long. The 'menus' in Sid's book are very much longer. As I read its initial chapters I experienced a familiar thought. Namely, that metaphorical or not, trousers with elastic waist bands are an excellent invention. ***** Ironically and sadly in passing I mention that George Harrison was often a patron of 'Vijays', our chosen eaterie. - "May his curly slippers rest forever on some comfy footstool in the shining, peaceful place which he was absolutely, beauteously sure, would be his next, "its alright...", destination. Now he has heard the dark-hooded conductor, lean on his scythe and murmur ,"THANK YOU MR. HARRISON, ER, GEORGE. THAT COMPLETES YOUR CURRENT MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. PLEASE CHANGE HERE FOR NEW HEAVEN. OH LOOK, I HATE TO ASK, BUT I WONDER WOULD YOU MIND JUST SIGNING MY COPY OF *All Things Must Pass* ITS ALWAYS BEEN A PARTICULAR FAVORITE OF MINE." (apologies to Terry Pratchett) - What? OK. The restaurant is in Willesden Lane on a corner 100 yds from Kilburn High Rd . .The food is from Southern India. No tandori but magic Masala Dosas. Suggest booking which even though we did, we still had the mild torture of watching others eating for1 hour. ***** During and in between all the above were chance meetings with friends old & new. Fires rekindled, sins forgiven, dreams replenished, memories rewound, cars in wild weather, callers cut off, Sum Dim Places visited, and the longest list of Fawlty Flaws ever complied about a, so called, five star hotel. Including the shower that was not, as I thought, off, but still running with liquid ice... catching my back and as I leapt 3 foot, thrusting out the flailing hand, sprayed the whole 5* bathroom. The mini bar full of lukewarm beer & yea no bottle opener. The air conditioning control, with numerals, that having stretched on a chair to read, were Illegible. Leaving me to guess whether in five minutes, I would be the occupant of a pink curtained sauna or bit player in a cheap remake of Scott of the Antarctic. The list goes on, but I not. This here epistle is a big thank you to many people and some in particular who in their different ways, gave and took, to and from, knowingly and/or not, over 3 important extraordinary days and nights. And finaly it is also my pleasure to sign off with the hope that YOU receive er, somewhat more than "The Christmas That You Deserve." :-) . Hasta La Futura, Peter.

| Comments: | Always loved your work what else could I say that has'nt been told to you. Those first four albums take me places. A medevial stting for the first. Ancient Greece and a Pirate ship for the second. an eatern feel for the third. Except for the Bolaro's tale in which I used to feel I was in a black -n- white playing jazz in New york to the sadness of the insane clown of Big Top. And finally somehere remote in the late 19th century with the right girl for islands. I once painted a fiery comet set to Sailers Tail using of course Napthal Crimson. Well thats it hope ypour doing well. Sincerly Eric J olague |

| Comments: | Saw KC in Glasgow's Green's Playhouse when I was 14 and was only feet away from Mr Sinfield who was in box on the right of the circle operating lights etc. I love all the early stuff and it has survived the test of time. Lizard is probably my favourite album, with Cirkus my fav track. Is Stillusion, which I suspect is the re-release of the original 70's album on CD, readily available? I have not seen it in any Glasgow record shops.
All the best Peter Brian |

What do you think about the statements that claim a relationship between Frederick II and KC? Is it true that the primary impetus for your vision was to clarify the boudaries and functions of insight and imagination.i.e. imagination with a lowercase i. |

| Comments: | I was searching for some KC/Fripp related material and decided to check this site - much to my surprise I discovered that you're (the site at least) based in Aldeborough! I lived there in the latter half of 1976 - lived in a house called "Stanny." Pretty posh. I was a waiter at the White Lion, too!
Anyway, I remain a fan and am glad to see you're still going strong in this time when magic is becoming so increasingly scarce. Carry on...and give my regards to the Life Boat! Michael Townsend Portland, Maine USA |

| Comments: | Well Peter I must say when I read the lyrics to Crt of the Crms Kng and 21 st szh schoid man.. In light of these ghastly WTO bombings...did you you have prophetic dreams?are you related to any past shamans who could look in the future thru sleeping visions.
IMO it seems you were seeing forward to these days of.. happy family one hand clap..only the hand holds a hand grenade now. Peter your work has always been a great inspiration to me...so my friend, I live about 20 miles from ground zero and I plan on sharing your words, with folks who are taking this as if this is just another day, in a bit rumpled and dusty New York...not seeing, they have to crawl a cracked and broken path. Well I hope we can make it, and sit back and laugh, but I fear tomorow the world will be crying...I can here the weeping of the lost souls as far as 20 miles away the silence of the dead is deafening. thank you for streching my young brain many moons ago.

| Comments: | After all the years, I find myself returning to some quiet, gentler days of a quieter, gentler youth. I found a great deal of comfort & youthful awe of the world in your works of that time. As an impressionable young lad they will always be with me.
I find the balm that I need by returning to those times, music and lyrics of "Peace-An End." I wish more impressionable young men and elderly gents would take the time to listen to this tune. It always did me some good. Sorry it took 30 years, but thank you Mr. Sinfield. Dan Turner Conyers, Georgia-USA |

Where is the art in music now? Must I look to the past to find creative, exciting, thinking music? |

| Comments: | Greetings to Peter, Jon and to all Dreambook Readers:
I hope everyone is enjoying good health and is able to make the most of it. I'm pleased you added a discussion forum; I'll need to learn how best to make use of the editing possibilities the forum offers. In the meantime, I invite you all to read "the very long post" (diatribe, actually); and related correction located in the forum section on the newly launched "Ladies of the Lake" website(homepages.about.com/valseven/ladiesofthelake). I hope that my comments contribute to the overall discussion found on this website, and I welcome any additional comments, either by e-mail or through the forum or guestbook (please note that e-mail is subject to accidental deletion!) Peter, you seem to lead an interesting and rather introspective life (sure beats the heck out of defending the Empire, eh?). As you know, this isn't the first time I've contacted you. This time, however, I seasoned my words with the savory herb of good will and I hope the results therewith are more to your liking. Bridgebuilding, anyone? (I always wanted to learn how to play bridge)....... |

Yes Joanna, daughter of Robin and Jackie. It was a wonderful surprise and she certainly is a special lady. I love the site and send you my very best wishes. |

| Comments: | Hmmm... What can I write here? That I've been a fan for years? Nah... I only have In The Court Of The Crimson King and Brain Salad Surgery. That I'm a fan of your lyrics? I do find them interesting but as I said to one reporter that was asking if I wrote lyrics or music first: Music always comes first. I don't see why lyricists get 50% of the songs rights. If words were as important as the music, we would hear poems on the radio. What draws your attention toward a song? The music first, always. If the tune is good then we listen to the lyrics, hoping that the bastard can write something coherent. Peter Sinfield, you are a great poet. King Crimson's music without your words would be meaningless but still pleasant! Peter Sinfield, you're one crazy guy! I might go oout and buy more of your work. I think I just became a fan. |

Continued success to you and your work.. |

| Comments: | mr. sinfield
the origin of the crimson king had been a mystery to me until yesterday. thanks to you an added dimension of western nature has been clarified. bil 'sabab in its arabic meaning signifies "in the cause of". what cause or aim you had in mind? i would ask you. king crimson played for me in the terrible and deadly nights of fighting in Lebanon, 1975-1978. for me it is associated with western explosives power, used against the east. contrary and similarly to the times of king Richard II. under the same sky, the same sun the same moon. i shall enjoy reading all you have on the site. thanks for sharing your knowledge this way. opening up our hearts for compassion is the best gift anyone can give or get. dreams are thoughts that were sleeping and have woken up. thank you. |

| Comments: | King Crimson's album, 'Lizard' was and still is one of my
favourite song cycles, even though I had no idea about the genesis of the lyrics. Now, after reading these wonderfully researched and crossreferenced notes, I feel like a fan reborn! Kudos to all involved for renewing my faith, both in the written word, and in the power of music to change one's state. 'Lizard', in particular, stands as a testament to the magickal pairing of Robert Fripp and Peter Sinfield. Long may they live in our hearts and minds. |

| Comments: | Allow me to punctuate my point with the image of Alexander
cutting the knot. Song that can be cut is not song, but mere myth. Indeed, our poetry cuts the knot. Wittgenstein said, "I want to let the fly out of the bottle." Here our song begins. |

| Comments: | Hmm. Lots of fun speculating and developing creative
exegesis but Jung is a fraud at the end of the day, folks. Sorry, it's just that there is real stuff to learn. Leave the hocus pocus to the sleepy head, but wake up wake up when the alarm goes tic tac in the morning. The Crimson King is the sun. When we wake up he is there, his court is the light of the living day, it's not so bad unless it's not day after all and you're still reading by moonlight. It's a lot like Poe's Masque of the Red Death. The red death is the flesh and blood that "congeals" round our astral faces when we awaken each morning in our bodies, or the red acne we get on our faces when we go through puberty - another rude awakening. Anyhow, read my book, CRITICAL SYNOPTICS (try the linkto view the pretty cover and a blurbbbb) and I shall teach you much more interesting and magical things than Herr Jung could ever offer. |

| Comments: | I've been enjoying Jon's site for some months now and
have talked with him regarding the synchronous interplay between Peter's lyrics and the life of Frederick II. However, my research indicates to me that there was perhaps a slightly greater element of humour in the court of the crimson king. On my homepage I will elaborate. |

| Comments: | I enjoy(ed) this website very much, it is my first time to visit. Having listened to the Lizard album many times, I enjoy all the
refernces here that illuminate these series of albums that I have almost readily at hand in Memory. I enjoy the writings of Ousensky and of Rumi (where I can find them). and appreciate aditional texts that I have not contemplated. much praise to the work represented here and I hope yo visit again. I am glad that Peter Sinfield work can now be explored outside therealm of the pop and rock charts where I initially discovered his King Crimson Work. Thank You. myron blakely |

| Comments: | Bravo..... Enjoyed your playful posting on DGM. I've looked
over this site very thouroughly time and again and I really enjoy it. Why dont you write Bob and the boys a tune or two? Would you consider being interviewed via 10 e-mailed questions for an article about you in Recordhead.net? Perhaps a photo? You can advertise or sell anything you want on my site in exchange for answering 10 (soft) questions! Sincerely.....Rick Whitehurst somewhere in California. |

| Comment: ìThe reason is obvious - words make you think thoughts. Music makes you feel a feeling. But a song makes you feel a thought. Thatís the great advantage to feel the thought. You rarely feel a thought with just dialogue itself. And thatís why song is the most powerful weapon there is. You can teach more through song and you can rouse more through song than all the prose in the world or all the poemsî. Yip Harwood | |

| Comment: I note Peter was "whelmed" rather than committing himself to "under..." or "over...". Me, too. Fascinating drivel! The point about the lyrics is that they're evocative, not some sort of code hiding some mysterious "real" message. They suggest all sorts of interpretations. I've always heard them as surrealist lyrics using romantic fantasy images. But that's just me. boogie on down... | |

| Comment: as an unrepentant devotee of Sinfield's wordsmithing for well nigh 25 years and counting, I have often found myself at a loss trying to describe and explain my fascination with the man's words and ideas...often being greeted with skepticsm and/or complete ignorance. Imagine my delight to have found a site like this, which not only collects and enlightens, but opens up a whole new world of which I was totally unaware, or ignorant, if you will. A million million thanks for this site, and the read | |
