Interview with Bill Bruford (Part Two)
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.

Hi Hugh:
If you click on the link that says “Listen to the Interview” instead of the player, it gives you the option to either stream the interview or save it to your computer. You can also search iTunes Podcasts for we Will Rock You and if you subscribe, you can automatically get new podcasts when they post to iTunes.
Thanks, I hope all is well.
