It's Your Favorite Foreign Movie
When Daryl Hall met Robert Fripp.
I don't hate Hall and Oates with the Steely Dan-level hate some do.

I own, if saving cassette tapes too brittle to play on machines that no longer exist, Steely Dan albums.
Dr Z - sorry for not discing, we've been hiking, getting fit for vacation, weekday soon - asks annually if I'd like to go to the yearly Steely Dan show at Jiffy Lube Pavilion in Gainesville Virginia fully aware I'll say fuck no.
I don't often hear a Hall and Oates song but most of the standards I don't mind when I do.
Overheard conversation in staff lounge yesterday morning: I was at the Hall and Oates concert last night at Verizon Center, so I thought of when Daryl Hall met Robert Fripp.
Hall and Oates were good, but Tears for Fears was incredible.
I don't hate Tears for Fears with the Steely Dan/Hall and Oates-level hate some do.
Last evening 6/27/17 @ 7:08 PM EDT Brian Eno tweeted link to article on Fripp, which mentioned when Daryl Hall met Robert Fripp.
Serendipity. Blessed.
Fripp may or not have ever met Fagan, but no known recordings exist. Imagine Fripp's Peg guitar solo.

ReplyDeleteSome band called Guster did an Live from Daryl's House gig that featured Babs & Babs with a frippet in the middle. I loved it at the time simply because. It's not exactly sacre... ligious: https://youtu.be/uGC12rmS30g

ReplyDeleteFoiled again by deletion!
DeleteLast comment to previous comment. To this one: Yes, they are... several of them. They even managed to do a great version with Smokey of his biggest hit just after his telling the tale about how sick he was of it.
