I might add that unlike Yes, The Dooby Brothers, The Eagles and the Who
(Whose concert I just went to this week - It was great - they did all of
Quadrophenia.) The Moody Blues are still writing and recording NEW music.
My tuppence is that the Moody Blues are better now than they ever were in
the 60's.
Obligatory lbc content: Andy's right (and I guess that means so is Robson)
I prefer leaving the Triumph name to history. There's a certain purity
to it that I think would be lost in reviving the marque. Let's leave that
kind of crass commercialism to MGs. (Quick, where did I leave my nomex?)
Just kidding, Roger.
cheers
Rik
