This podcast episode is Part Three of my recent interview with legendary drummer Bill Bruford. In this segment we talk more about Robert Fripp; how Jon Anderson differs from his public persona; why every band needs its Jon Anderson or Robert Fripp; the loose accounting methods of the Seventies rock industry; auditing and royalty collection; whether the early progressive rock pioneers realized at the time how much artistic freedom they had; and tenacity vs. talent in dictating the career of a musician.
Stay tuned for Part Four, which I will post on Thursday.
