@[neotemplar:27239] Fingers reaching, Fingers freaking. Jump at a scream. Goodnight, honey. You're all alone, Baby, breathing. They come better looking, But they don't come madder. |

Contrary to CrimsonKarl's certainty, the text on the Sinfield site is not definitive. The commentary about Frederick II is not Sinfield's own explication, but consists rather of admitted speculations by the Web site's creator. Sinfield himself has said that the Crimson King is synonymous with Beelzebub, and that's the only word we have from "the horse's mouth", so far as I know. If anyone is aware of further remarks on the subject by Sinfield himself, then that would be a worthwhile addition to these comments. I should add that Beelzebub, or "Lord of the Flies", is not Satan, it is true, but it is the name of a demon, and a name that in later years became closely associated with Satan. By contrast, Robert Fripp's Gurdjieff-inspired mistranslation of "Beelzebub" as "the man with the aim" is ridiculous. It means "Lord of the Flies", period. Fripp, who seems to have become rather "Xtian friendly" as the years have passed, may not care for the demonic association, and thus may want to throw everyone off the scent, or even go into denial on the subject, but the association remains, nonetheless. |
