I have a Moody Blues-related story I'd like to share.
This past Christmas my Dad and I were driving back to my house after visiting relatives. I was listening to my iPod and wasn't paying attention to the classic rock station my Dad was listening to. Suddenly, I became aware that my Dad was very, very angry about something. I took off my headphones and was greeted with this: "What the fuck is this? This isn't rock, this is just pussy crap. Fuck this radio station, they keep playing all this artsy-fartsy bullshit. You hear this, Drew? [sarcasm on] Isn't this the greatest fucking song you've ever heard? ROCK ON DUDE!" [/sarcasm]
I was just like...sure Dad, yeah I agree, chill out.
I had never heard of The Moody Blues before, and I still have no idea what they sound like because my Dad was too busy blowing a gasket about how much he hated it, and I couldn't hear the song over him yelling. I don't know what the song was either, maybe you guys could help me identify it. He kept mentioning how the song started out with some "queer ass narration" followed by "some fucking gay classical stuff" after which the guitars entered and it became a "normal song." Kind of vague, but does anyone know what song it might have been? I'm curious and would like to listen to it.
