That and Whiter Shade….
Both epic 60s rock ballads
Love both
Hate to bring up tripping but man moody blues were the best cooling off music when on the downward slope after the peak
Usually so soothing after that “work” as Bob Weir described it recently lol
“Timothy Learys dead no no he’s outside looking in”
Leary was a punani obsessed flake honestly who mooched off gullible rich women
I was more a Kesey and the pranksters sort
Anyhow Moody Blues
The thinking man’s band
“That and Whiter Shade...”
My theory regarding Whiter Shade of Pale is that Gary Brooker had some lyrics but was stuck for a melody.
So he thought to himself, “What the hell. Bach can’t sue me if I rip off Air on a G String. So here we go...”
Music from the Moody Blues often wafted from dorm rooms, a clear indication that a dormmate was entertaining a coed. This was 73+76. Didn't apply to me, though. I was not very confident with women.
That changed 180 de grees after a couple years in Germany. 2+ years as a Platoon Leader was a definite confidence builer. Didn't get much help from the Moody Blues, but from Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits. The woman I was dating simply loved Dire Straits.
