Hmmm! Not too sure if that's fagot or faggot. Everyone should realise that King Crimson are British and both fagot and faggot have no connection to the derogatory US/Canadian usage. Fagot can be a bundle of sticks (so health food fagot could be an unpleasant allusion to a bundle of dried grass). Faggot is also a type of meatball from pork shoulder and liver. That would make the description effectively a "health food meatball". Of course, it could refer to both (Fripp is a smart cookie and well educated as well). If you called someone a "faggot" in the UK, they might get mad at you if you were from North america, but most likely they they'd be puzzled why you referred to them as a meatball. |
