Wolves of the Calla - Spoiler Wanted

[junediamanti]

This is to those who have read it already....

As a sixties/seventies kind of kiddy one of the big things that 
fascinates me in the Dark Tower series is this Crimson King thing...

The first album I ever bought -saving up out of my own money was:  
In the Court of the Crimson King - by King Crimson (1969).  Uber 
prog rock album.  And as a matter of fact, it's playing now, but not 
the same record as I bought way back when.

So, does anyone know, did Steve mean the same thing - has he 
publicly acknowledged a debt to Robert Fripp, Ian Mcdonald, Michael 
Giles and Peter Sinfield, et al, and does the new book mention the 
Crimson King at all?  

I know the Crimson King might just be "It" but as soon as I heard 
the first reference, I was smitten.
