Fripp's 9/11 prophecy?
Robert Fripp was living in Manhattan during the timeframe noted below. Was what he said prophetic? He was only 20 years (to the day) off the mark.
"By September 11, 1978, Fripp considered himself prepared to launch a new phase of his career. On that date he began what he dubbed “The Drive to 1981,” which he was to describe as “A campaign on three levels: firstly, in the marketplace but not governed by the values of the marketplace; secondly, as a means of examining and presenting a number of ideas which are close to my heart; thirdly, as a personal discipline.” (Liner notes to God Save the Queen) The end of the Drive to 1981 was timed to coincide with an event of astrological significance, an alignment of the planets to take place on September 11, 1981, at which time, Fripp evidently believed, mankind was in for an awakening of apocalyptic import." (Schruers, Fred. “Robert Fripp’s Public Exposure: The Return to ‘An Intelligent Way of Listening.’“ RS 296 (July 26 1979): 16.) - Eric Tamm, "Robert Fripp, From King Crimson to Guitar Craft," Faber & Faber, Boston & London, 1990
