look at what this asshole said about the Moody Blues!

[Johnny]

I was checking out a site at http://fairplayreviews.com & the asshole
who runs it said that the Moody Blues are a bunch of old farts &
should retire from making music! He said that Moody Blues fans are
little better than stamp collectors and Justin Hayward is a neurotic
asshole. What a fucktwit

Always some idiot has to comment that has no business doing so...but it
seems they HAVE retired from making music...for quite a while they have been
just playing music...not that that is bad mind you. But we need some new
music from them!

Off subject...but if you want to listen to some good interviews of some
good bands try my old friend Red Beards site here:
http://www.inthestudio.net/

Back in the early/mid 70's he was a "DJ" on one of our local FM stations
WCCC. I met him while I was selling HiFi equipment here in CT and he got me
into a lot of good concerts for free, with great seats and back stage
passes. Unfortunately he has not done a Moody interview..I'm going to email
him soon and see if he can do one.
Take Care,
Bob
