When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once. Milarepa “Just as it is known t hat an image of one's face is seen d epending on a mirror b ut does not really exist as a face, s o the conception of "I" exist d ependent on mind and body, b ut like the image of a face t he "I" does not at all exist as its own reality." Nagarjuna "Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible. Nagarjuna
I'm with you in regards to the Moody Blues, RN. No so much with you when it comes to Jethro Tull or Led Zeppelin... but the Moody Blues? Hell, yes. "Tuesday Afternoon" is one of my favorite songs.
ReplyDeleteThere are few that aren't very worthy by the MB.
DeleteRN: The associated poem is great too. That album is one of the best of all time.
ReplyDeleteThis includes "Tuesday Afternoon"... Check out this video
One of my favorites as well.
DeleteTull and the Moody Blues both deserve to be in the Hall of Fame and certainly way ahead of such miserable acts as Madonna, ABBA, the Bee Gees, Kiss, etc..............My favorite Moody Blues song? I'm going to have to go with "The Story in Your Eyes".
ReplyDeleteYes they do. I was a Jethro Tull fan the first time I heard them. Every so often I take that stroll down memory lane and listen to them for an hour or so. Ian Anderson rocks.
DeleteI have so many favorites by them. All pretty much pre-"Octave". Everything after seems just an imitation or tribute band.
