Woulda been more fitting if he passed on Tuesday afternoon, no? 

Love the Moody Blues, tho - pretty baroque and bombastic sh1t, if that is one's bag.

Very sad as I'm a HUGE fan of the Moody Blues, albeit the period with Justin Hayward as their lead singer (who replaced Pinder).

Absolutely despise knights in white satin.

Cool.

I think we all can agree on despising the KKK. 

... but what does that have to do with the Moodys?

Prog Rock sucks.  Once upon a time is a good song.  RIP

Not a huge Prog Rock fan but it sucks? Care to unpack that a little? Who else sucks that falls in that genre?

Yes

Big fan of their music, but I saw them in Worcester MA in the late 80s and it was probably the worst concert I've ever seen.  Just boring, no energy.

Thems fighting words.   

They were in my Mount Rushmore of favorite bands in the late 70s moving into the 80s.  Although I was hugely disappointed with 90210

I can’t stand them. I’m just not into that kind of rock.  I like power pop a lot more. But being raised on AOR radio, I always felt a letdown after hearing the Stones or Petty and bands like that and then hearing the artsy stuff.

Yes, Kansas, Moody Blues. And mind your manners if you want to have a discussion.

I love love love that song. But what does unrequited love have to do with the KKK?

People like to fake sadness for someone who died even though they at the time of learning they are dead didn't know if they were alive or dead for the past 20 years.

That's what your wife said after I tongue punched her mud chute and worriedly sought assurances that you wouldn't come home early from your KKK meeting.

Twenty-six words do not qualify as a ramble, boyo.
