Ray Thomas has Passed

This is sad ,Raywas one of the founding members . What I can’t get my head around is these great musicians , are going to be inducted in the a Rock & Roll hall of fame next month. I am beyond 
pissed off. How many truly crap punk bands are in there years ago. these True talented men were ground breaking .back in the 60s classical and Rock merging together was unheard of .                                     The Great album Days of future passed, and Timeless Nights in white satin .Ray will not be there to be inducted which is sad., groups like what the clash ,fix iggy pop.  Before these guys ?  Are they Fkg Deaf.
who the hell does the voting ,certainly not us as a rule.
going back even Black Sabbath was denied ,being truly the first great Heavy metal band . They are in now but Ozzy said to hell with the idiots that have no class or taste. I second that sentiment.
The Moody Blues will always be Classics in my Music Library !!

So many adolescent memories...  RIP.

And The Tide Rushes In

RIP  Ray

This Is The Moody Blues playing tonight!

Watching and Waiting

I grew up on Lou Reed, EL&P, Allman Brothers, Beatles, Stones, CCR, countless other "classic" rock. 

Loved them all. 

But when the sun was down, and it was time to quietly listen to music, It was most often Moody Blues playing through my first decent stereo. I read the liner notes and lyrics and thought about the music and really listened. 

Thank you Ray. RIP

The sad thing about the passing of Ray Thomas is that the Moodies were going to be inducted in the Rock Hall of Fame in the next entry class. I have been cursing the HoF for years for their failure to honor such a great band, while enshrining far lesser acts. The Moody Blues have been my favorite band, providing many more hours of listening enjoyment over the course of my lifetime. The passing of Ray Thomas is a stark reminder of my own mortality, which grows ever closer to the end. RIP, Ray, RIP.
