Graeme Edge, the Drummer and last original member of The Moody Blues, has passed from cancer at the age of 80. This is sad, I’ve always loved their music as well as the live in person appearances, seen them many times. Link | ||

Sad to hear  The Moody Blues is perhaps my all-time favorite band. "America is at that awkward stage.

First vinyl album I ever bought for myself was The Best of the Moody Blues. Wore the grooves out on that album. ___________________ Company, villainous company hath been the spoil of me. | |||

Interesting that Edge is termed the “last original member” of the Moody Blues. If Justin Hayward and John Lodge weren’t “original members,” they were certainly present for the glory years. RIP Graeme Edge _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

A thousand years ago I was a kid at Chicago's Electric Playground, Moody Blues and Wishbone Ash led the bill. As WB played, I bumped into Ray Thomas as he walked the floor, probably my first brush with greatness. The Moody Blues inhabited their own special world at that time, underappreciated IMO. RIP Graeme Edge. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

RIP Graeme. The Moody Blues were one of my favorite bands. Glad I got too see them play a couple of times over the years. _________________________ 2nd Amendment Defender The Second Amendment is not about hunting or sport shooting. | |||

Probably the lyrics to Late Lament is probably, Edge's best obituary: Breathe deep the gathering gloom. Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament. Another day's useless energy is spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one; Lonely man cries for love and has none. New mother picks up and suckles her son. Senior citizens wish they were young. Cold-hearted orb that rules the night. Removes the colours from our sight. Red is grey is yellow white. But we decide which is right. And which is an illusion. __________________________ "We're after men - and I wish to God I was with them.

Bummer. RIP Graeme. "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead." Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock "If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it." Clarence Worley | |||
