We Will Rock You

     This is Part Two of my recent interview with legendary Yes/King Crimson/Earthworks drummer Bill Bruford. In this segment we discuss the mythos of sex, drugs and rock and roll vs. the working musician’s view of the business; back room deal making and influence trading and how that helped launch the career of Yes; payola and how it has evolved into “independent record promotion”; personality clashes in bands and whether that conflict is healthy or unhealthy; differences in Yes and how they affected the band; and Robert Fripp.

     Stay tuned for Part Three, which I will post Monday.
