 A 1984 KC story December 9, 2008
Written by JPrisco
It was 1984, and New Wave was king of the airwaves, so "Sleepless" had gotten some fair coverage on the radio station dedicated to that genre. Consequently the Berkeley Greek Theater was about half-full of pastel-hued princesses and princes who clearly had no inkling of the band’s past catalogue; it seems they also hadn’t yet heard side two of their little yellow cassettes. Afterward, these numerous shell-shocked exitees stopped at a fast-food joint on University Avenue, where one young female stood a long time with eyes fixed on the floor. Finally she put her semi-catatonia into words: "I don’t think I like King Crimson ..."
Like the Desiderata in 1970, this may not have much to do with the current item for sale, but it seems like an appropriate story to share here. Happy holiday season everyone!
