It could've been an '80s teen movie. Loner art class introvert Fripp finally steps out of his shell and befriends popular Andy, whose band has all the girls swooning for their blond locks. They hang out after school, find surprising items their record collections have in common, and get around to some light petting (ie, they turn on the tape machine). Of course, the reality blurs these caricatures (they're both total dorks, as were the Police and King Crimson overall), but the narrative is appealing enough. Nothing earth-shattering about their early-'80s collaboration, but their little guitar bromance actually yielded some nice sketches under the guise of musical R&D. As partnerships go, it was a short-lived dalliance. Oh well, they could've made a nice couple. Andy Summers & Robert Fripp - Hardy Country
