looks like you are off your meds again, aren't you? You are not only a kook,
but you prove time & time again that you are a MAJOR kook! I also think you
are an unstable, dangerous individual. Even I wouldn't be so idiotic as to
challenge something that happens off the internet into a duel in real life.
It's so exhilirating and delicious to see you dig your own hole. This is
entertainment!
You think you are a Moody Blues fan, but let me tell ya that you are among the
worst kind in all of fandom. You're a loon that adds new meaning to the word
"fanatic". It's just a rock 'n' roll band, stoopid.
You are so desperate, Brice, to finally get the upper hand just once. .
Besides, in any joust we've had on this NG, I've put you to shame. If only
you had more intelligence, you would be able to rise to the occassion instead
of resorting to outbursts of delusion and rage.

Don't be so presumptuous, pal. You don't know a thing about me, or what I'm
capable of. All you know about is your own pathetic life.
But I have a challenge for you, my friend. Why don't you try posting like a
sane person for once instead of babbling lyrics? Maybe the sane posters

This is your problem, and this is where you need your wake up call. This isn't
the real world. It's the damn internet. If you get so seriously bent out of
shape over something that happens online to the point that it affects your
life, then you need to get out more..
Really, I have no need to keep pointing out to everyone what kind of moody
loonie you are. You do just find by yourself.

Don't sell yourself short, Ty, you can be just as idiotic as the next

I, for one, would never attempt to do battle with Ty. No offense, Ty,
but you're a bit kooky. I don't fight no kooky people.

I must agree once again with Ty. He may have finally figured this

It sure took him long enough. Do you think he'll stop reporting me to my ISP?

I got a quick peek at the bird in the bird house....she looks very plain. She
was bringing food to her young. A Wren maybe?.... Not a Starling or a
Woodpecker. Last week we found a woodpecker In our house he'd come in thru the

He's one tough bird my guess is he had to fight for it.

I forget who it was in real life the picture on the AQOB cover had
been compared to.
I'm guessing but wasn't the likeness on the cover similar to that of
an English economics professor or someone in a similar position?
I'm trying to recall if the MBs were actually sued over that picture
or if the MBs merely had to alter the album cover?
Didn't the band change the cover more than once (twice maybe)?
Anyway, maybe the FAQ knows for sure. I'm sure I read about this
on one fan's website (impressive as the site was I don't have a link).

One of my favorite listened to tunes today was:
The Spirit by The Moody Blues
From the site
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/1962/album1.htm
found on this, a most excellent source;
http://www.frisk.org/rgs/mb.html
4.6 What's the story behind the alteration of covers for A
Question of Balance?
Cover artist Phil Travers originally included a small painting
of a man named Blashford Snell within the collage of A Question of
Balance. Snell was a well-known British explorer and children's
advocate, and the painting on AQoB was inspired by a photograph, which
appeared in National Geographic.
The original album image was of Snell wearing a pith helmet,
holding a pistol and pointing it at an elephant. After the album was
released, Snell sued Decca Records and the Moodies over the image,
which he said was "a source of constant embarrassment over being on
the cover." Travers, with the direction of Decca, changed the image of
Snell to that of a man without a pith helmet holding the pistol
(although some altered versions have a black box over the eyes).
Unfortunately, Decca only printed up new covers within England and not
abroad.
So Snell filed suit again against Decca and the Moodies. All
future copies of A Question of Balance (vinyl, cassette and CD) are
supposed to be printed with the altered version.
Though, when Mobile Fidelity released their version of AQoB,
it had the original version of the cover. When asked about it, they
said since the Threshold CD remastered version had the original cover,
they [Mobile Fidelity] felt it was OK to do the same.
And there you have it.
I remember reading that before but it's nice to review occasionally.
Actually, I kind of knew the man featured on the album cover was
not an English economics professor but be darned if I could recall.
Oh well, I know now. :)

I imagine the original oil painting would be worth a few bucks.
I wonder where some of the other original cover art is hidden?

Anyone know the name of the music used for Monty Python?

I guess the covers for Long Distance Voyager and The Present
were based on painting by two different artists so those might be
somewhat easier to locate. The covers Phil Travers did might be
a bit more difficult to find.
I wonder if John Lodge has the original artwork Roger Dean did
for his solo album Natural Avenue?
If I were to browse the net just to find a nice bitmap for a few of
those covers to, let's say, use on my desktop I might have more
luck but I notice some scans of the artwork on some sites look a
bit messy (clarity and color can be a bit off sometimes). Don't get
me wrong because I'm not out to blame the webmasters. I guess
that's just the scanners work sometimes. Maybe it has something
to do with the format in which images are saved (jpeg or gif), but
then again I'm not exactly what you'd call an expert in the field.

I do seem to recall a tune with a similar name by an old 80s band
called Men Without Hats but I have a hunch it's not by them.

That's the band. I watched VH1's One Hit Wonders yesterday
and they it was....the video for Safety Dance.
I had heard a newsperson say, "Better do a Safety Dance" once.
So is that a phrase meaning something other than just this band doing
a song????
I wanna know!!!! I looked it up online best I could and got nothing.

Well I'll be darned!!! iirc, they were based in Montreal and it occurs
to me they had another hit called Where Do The Boys Go too (but
it may not have been big in other countries...I don't know for sure.

I'm not sure of what that could have meant, moody, but the next time
