The day the music died.

[WinterDeere]

I tend to agree. You might as well use AI to write new music; it's just as wrong

Some guys wanting to go do some live dates and play the songs they wrote is the same as using AI to write new music? How so?

I'm not sure how I feel about this new idea of them leaning on guest musicians to play some of the ancilliary parts for which they've classically used sequencers and other electronics triggered by the band themselves. But the organization and structuring around all of that production is what always prevented them from easily changing up the set and being more spontaneous, so there's a trade-off.

Well, I guess it's Nights in White Satin for John Lodge of The Moody Blues.

When I was a kid I really liked their music and my aunt asked what she could get me for Christmas.
She got me (I think) days of future past.
And then again the next Christmas.
And then again the next Christmas.
Until finally my cousin (her daughter) told her the one album doesn't change every year

You're probably dating a great number of us just by mentioning those names.

My Ma said as a wittle kid I would start to do the twist whenever Chubby Checker came on the radio.
She had no idea where I had seen it.
Movies were The Apartment (I was a bit young for that) and Thunder Road.

My Mom had heard of "The Graduate"...but couldn't get my Dad to take her to see it. So it was little 11 year old me and her.

I don't think we lasted 30 minutes! She couldn't get me out of that theater fast enough!!!

 

[Fuddyduddy1952]

About that age my parents took me to see "Tom Jones", 1963 movie...that and about the time James Bond 007 movies first started coming out which I saw with friends.
I saw the entire Tom Jones although my Mother seemed "uneasy".

First theater film I remember going to see is the Sound of Music in 1965.

We were not a movie going family… funny the things kids remember…

John Lodge died. 82!!
Founding and lead member of the Moody Blues

Justin is the only one left from the classic band.

John was the second bass player. Moodies formed in '64; Justin and John joined in '66. They replaced Denny Laine and Clint Warwick. Graham and Denny originally wanted Lodge as bass player, but he declined so he could finish school.

The Moodies are my wifes all time favorite band. Had seen them 10 or 11 times since '93. They always did a consistently great show!

I was so excited to hear that we were going to watch a cowboy movie in a brand new theater AND it was in color.! It was in Omaha, which took about 3 hours to get there in a '55 ford.

So by the time we got there, this little boy was tired but came alive when I saw the marquee. When the movie started, there was some singing. But that was alright, Roy Rodgers and Dale Evens sang some too.

But every time the show got exciting, they ruined it by singing.
I never grew like that movie Oooooklahoma.

We couldn't afford indoor theatres when I was growing up. We went to the outdoor theatres when it was $1 a car load. My folks got their money's worth as there were six of us in that '57 Plymouth station wagon.

Before the movie began, we kids would always head to the front where the swings and playground equipment were. When the lights went out, we'd go to the benches in front or back to the car if it was cold.

I never went to a Drive In movie until I started to drive.
And then I saw few of the movies.

I remember a couple of girls I dated in H.S. that said they weren't allowed to go to drive-in movies. Not much privacy there anyway.

That's why you park down by the lake and watch the submarine races.

There was a story in the local newspaper well after my Drive In time.
An amorous couple got carried away in the front seat.
Somehow they got knotted up in the steering wheel.
After the movies ended the fire department had to come out and take the steering wheel off.
There was a picture on the front page of a fireman holding up a blanket trying to protect their modesty.
I still can't figure out how they got that twisted up and believe me, I did some twisting.
