The Boffomundo Show
United States
Приєднався 19 бер 2006
The Boffomundo Show (and it's spawn) existed in the early daze of cable TV from 1979-92. Producer/hosts, Ron Curtiss and Aaron Weiner interviewed such luminarys like Robert Fripp (King Crimson), Phil Collins & John Goodsall (Genesis & Brand X) R.I.P., guitarist Al Di Meola (Return to Forever), Bernardo Lanzetti (PFM), bass/vocalist John Wetton R.I.P. (King Crimson, U.K., Asia), the late Fumio Miyashta (Far East Family Band). 1982's incarnation, called In The Mode featured Adrian Belew (King Crimson) and guitarist Larry Carlton; while Total Sound, which ran from 1990-92, included an interview & performance from Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson, U.K.), Fire Merchants with the late, great John Goodsall and legendary L.A. band Caterwaul. A book (Robert Fripp interview) and record album (music from Fumio Miyashta) are available. Special thanks to the memory of Antony Harrington, who provided many of the amazing guests we were honored to the interview.
Who Did The Theme Music For The Boffomundo Show?
The most frequently asked question.
Arti + Mestieri (Arts & Crafts) were an Italian prog band. The theme song is called Nove Lune Dopo, from the 1975 album, Giro di valzer per domani (Waltz Tour Tomorrow). In the video I mistakenly said Mescal was the tune. A fan wrote back to correct my error. Their previous album, Tilt from 1974 is more hard edged and equally brilliant.

John Wetton discusses the politics of the band U.K. and the struggles in keeping the original band together. Our time spent with him was not only revelatory, but we were impressed by his honesty, charm and good humor. To lose John so close to his astral twin, Greg Lake is eerie, given the connections the two shared. Together with Chris Squire, John Entwistle and Jack Bruce, the booming bass ton...

John Wetton (King Crimson, U.K., Asia): The Complete Boffomundo Interview
One interviewer back in '73 suddenly watched in horror and disbelief as Mr. Fripp put his hand on the interviewer's typewritten sheets with notes and questions, slid them towards him, and started reading from them with mechanical voice. It went on for ages like some kind of nightmare, leaving the interviewer gasping for air and feeling utterly humiliated. But in the end he realized this was just Robert Fripp being Robert Fripp
23:04 "Bill's not a great jazz drummer either..." "Do you enjoy his albums?" "No, not really..." Ouch! 🙂
I wonder why this was filmed or taped in black and white in 1979. Strange. Also, Robert Fripp is dressed very conservatively for 1979 -- no polyester leisure suit, no shirt with a gigantic collar, no bell-bottom pants, no gold chains, just a suit that would have looked completely normal in the 1950s.
Soooooooo boring. Naval gazing.
The stoned artist look
What a gentleman
John pulls no punches, love it. So much great information, telling BB he is out of UK because "remember that conversation"..so good. Thx @boffomundo for this piece of music history. rip JW
Soon after UK would fold and Asia was born
thanks for thé tip, réal good fusion band, I like the way italians use harmony, there is something unique about it 🎼✌️🎼
UNBELIEVABLE that they didnt like one of the greatest songs ever made!!!
Arti e Mestieri nove lune dopo
Geez... Adrian Belew's candor is soooo refreshing. He is careful here to not denigrate other types and industries of music; he maintains a positively grateful and humble sense of self-awareness that holds his ego in check. That is admirable, truly. I'll add that the interviewer has an enjoyable register throughout the interview. I enjoyed this interview over other interviews with Belew at this time.
Intro is Nove Lune Dopo by Arti e Mestieri. ua-cam.com/video/ee9rkldjR3Q/v-deo.html
Robert was getting kind of esoteric. A little too much for me tbh. But I love him just the same.
I am 72. I have always been interested with Robert's music, but I have never seen this interview before. I like him even more after seeing this. I would love to talk with him about whatever came up. After all, what else does one talk about? 🙂
and it only got extremely weirder
Now...who did the theme music to In The Mode? Haha
Chris Hauter from a local prog band Mantaray composed the piece for our theme song. Thanks for asking.
@@TheBoffomundoShow thank you very much for answering!! Do you happen to know if a full version exists somewhere?
Very interesting in-depth interview because John Wetton spoke in an eloquent tone. RIP
Saw the original lineup with Chester Thompson at the MUSIC MACHINE in West Los Angeles in 1989 Rest In Peace John & Doug 💔😓💔
Fav band of all time
I had a 74 Camaro in the early 80s, and an underdash 4-track pioneer/Craig 4-track player, that I converted to play at 7.5 IPS... people would ride an ignorant of what the deck was would say "oh wow! An 8-track?" I'd say yeah. It was in the car when I got it. I've never tried it. I think there's a few tapes in the glove box. One of them was a copy of lone rhino... that I copied at half speed on to ampex 406 studio master tape... the player was hooked to a quartet of Jensen triaxes, and dual JBL D140S, in a vented enclosure, that brought the 250-20hz into the car, with a duo of early mono block amps from craico, and the sound from Rhino would flood the car... like a pair of 300 watt headphones... like the sky cracked open and the future of music and fidelity had leaked into that pathetic muscle car... and I'd pull the tape out "yeah, sounds like ****!" Toss it out the window to shocked gasps... lolol.
It's so odd that I never knew who this mysterious enigma named Fripp was, from the albums. I had heard that he performed separate from the band, obscured with electronics, with a deficit of light on him... now he has weekly comedic segments with his wife and all these vintage interviews pop onto my screen. Still quite the enigma. Lol
King Crimson is just King Crimson .nothing more nothing less....they are and were perfect just the way they were and are nothing more nothing less They are King Crimson how lucky we are to have had such visionary musicians grace the musical universe...
"I met this band with enormous tits which was Brand X"! Love as always Phil. .........Genesis, probably the best band in the world, ever.
15:10 for my own reference
looks like he had a lucky escape from becoming a Philosopher -!
I only knew of Robert Fripp through looking for new import records by my once favorite band, Frankie goes to Hollywood, and coming up empty. I’ve always associated his name with repeated frustration and disappointment.
I just looked up Fripp and Trevor Horn. Good God. It comes full circle: ua-cam.com/video/UoenuxR78mE/v-deo.htmlsi=hzMkYI-gFzZMRBwe
extreme talent and such a nice guy!
The UK albums are amazing. So glad i discovered them as a teenager
Muy bueno nunca lo había escuchado gracias por compartir excelente musica
such a "complete" KNOB......elitist snobbery only a Brit could pull off. ♠
from the way you talk to your pfp its obvious youre just way too stupid to understand any of this, its not elitist or snobby at all - youre just a child frustrated that you cant understand any english higher level than basic
The difference is a basic seriousness about growth and development... a desire for progress...
Love the set. This show was the first to do the retro 70's look! :) Also love Adrian Belew.
一个迷茫的天才
Geeks rule.
Na, Bobby was at that time chasing the blond girls, and he wanted them all for himself.
No "progressive" band would ever like the progressive label. Never heard any of these bands accepting the definition. Genesis hated it (quite rghtly so, they were much more complete). Yes didn't like it and often diverted from "prog". ELP felt they were much better than that. King Crimson? They tried anything but "prog"... only minor bands felt they liked that label.
Sundown dazzling day Gold through my eyes✨
I enjoy seeing stuff like this, but it also makes me sad to realise John is gone and Phil cannot play anymore. Makes me feel extremely mortal.
This is so odd…it feels like a modern spoof but its real…
I am listening to Giro di Valzer Domani on Apple Music!! The song is shown as Nove Lune Dopo. This album is fantastic. Stumbled on The Boffomundo Show by accident as it popped up in my UA-cam feed. Great stuff and as a bonus I discovered Arti + Mestieri. Thanks.
Thanks, now I know.
Always great to see you !
Nice video, I always wondered "why?"
Thanks for posting this! Does anyone know what music was used for the credits sequences? It sounds intriguing.
Does anyone know who played the music for there intro in 1979 shows . I love the style .
What a boring old weirdo bastard.
Wow that's all a bit advanced for the late 70s 😅
I'm always amazed to see how unpolished some of these 70s musicians are. Of course, Brand X and John Goodsall didn't make it big, but Phil, of course, was huge in the 80s. Also, I had no idea that Phil had to audition for Brand X. I would have thought it was more just a matter of him finding time. I also have no idea what The Boffomundo Show is.
