DARYL HALL, the blond keyboardist of Hall and Oates, momentarily broke loose in the summer of 1977 from the laid-back, blue-eyed soul image he had built with the duo, and surreptitiously recorded an album under the production of Robert Fripp, a well-known avant-garde musician. RCA, Hall's record company, refused to release the album because it feared that the record would shatter Hall's commercially successful, syrupy facade.

...Songs like "Girl of my Dreams" by Bram Tchaikovsky, "Starry Eyes" by the Records, or "Let Me Into Your Life" by the Beat may have been simple and innocent but they were fun to listen to. Hooks aren't absolutely necessary, but unless you're Eno, Ferry or Fripp their absence usually makes music unpalatable. The few songs that do have hooks, "Kid," "Tatooed Love Boys" and "Mystery Achievement," are catchy enough to be enjoyable, but not enjoyable enough to balance the irritating, tuneless quality of the rest...

And a Paul Rever look-alioke claimed he owned a bar in Baltimore's equivalent to Boston's Combat Zone. Martin Slobodkin '41, premier Boston socialite, and Boston Globe gossip columnist Bill Fripp served as judges for several costume contests...
...going to be laid down early in the evening and could result in a lot of sore hands. As an added attraction, ex-Procol Harum guitarist Robin Trower will be performing. Trower has been recently reported to be taking guitar lessons from none other than King Crimson mastermind, Robert Fripp. Trower claims certain prescribed guitar exercises that Fripp has given him have changed his life. Trower's metamorphosis can be appraised November...
