Robert Fripp is one of the contributors to David Bowie - Five Years screening at 9.20 p.m. on BBC2 tonight.
Digital Spy lists Robert Fripp as one of the reasons as to why David Bowie - Five Years is a must-watch show. "Of all the guys and girls we hear from, The Elephant Man director Jack Hofsiss and Carlos Alomar ("This was the whitest man I'd ever seen!") certainly deserve special mention, but the complete standout is King Crimson's Robert Fripp. There's nothing quite like a guitar legend who looks (and sounds) like a retired bank manager, calmly swearing as he recalls Bowie and Brian Eno asking him to play some "hairy rock 'n' roll" on "Heroes". "What is the difference between pop and rock and roll?" Fripp says gently. "You might get f**ked." Blimey!" You can read the other reasons to watch the show here.
