THE DEVIL’S TRIANGLE
One of the things that turned me off about King Crimson’s second album, In the Wake of Poseidon was the three-part song, “The Devil’s Triangle” toward the end. I was growing weary of the Satanic streak in rock music, and this just seemed to be more of it, though there were few if any lyrics. It was a long time before I realized that the Devil’s Triangle is another name for the mysterious Bermuda Triangle out in the Atlantic Ocean, not anything to do with Satan. The music was even included in a documentary about the Bermuda Triangle many years later.
