Imagine.... it is 1967... some 45 years ago...


Imagine.... it is 1967... some 45 years ago...
You pick up a 33 1/3 lp at the record store... not a 45 rpm record... a 12 inch record with lots of songs to listen to...
One in particular "Nights in White Satin" was longer than the abbreviated one played on the radio.. then "Tuesday Afternoon" and thus begins a trip through life "Days of Future Passed" sheer profundity...
As they celebrate 45 years of music the Moody Blues came through Atlanta last night... the Fabulous Fox theatre... a depression era rococo Moroccan splendid venue replete with false blue twilight sky overhead and twinkling stars... outdoors indoors... and a well done show of such memories from "Days of Passed Futures"...
Graeme Edge came forward for '"Higher and Higher" as always to climb to tranquility reaching for the moon as in 1969, then to explain that considering he took Viagra that nothing has changed at 70 years of age... since Woodstock... landing on the moon... and the Viagra side effects...
it's still sex, drugs and rock and roll.. . .
