Unlikely

At the end of an audition for a new guitarist for my band in the early 1990s, the candidate (whose name shall remain confidential) turned to me and commented: “You look like him, you do.” In the absence of any prior reference to anyone who might be described as ‘him’ I asked ‘Who?’ The reply nonplussed me. “That Robert Fripp”. This was the first time the ex-King Crimson leader had been mentioned during our meeting, and ‘that’ suggested that not only we, but people in general, had been talking about him, and for quite a long time. The aspiring axe-wielder didn’t get the job. Still, I can see the resemblance.
