Musician noted for his being an original member of the 1960s band the Moody Blues, John Lodge, died early today at the age of 82. His connections had announced the death through social media, including Facebook, where I first heard of his passing.
The band remained a favorite over the decades, long after their heyday.
Snip:
Lodge featured on some of the band’s best-known work, including the psychedelic Days of Future Passed in 1967, regarded as one of rock’s first concept albums, and its followup, In Search of the Lost Chord in 1968, on which the band move further towards experimentation.
Between 1969 and 1972 he featured on the albums On the Threshold of a Dream, To Our Children’s Children’s Children, A Question of Balance, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour and Seventh Sojourn, on which the band fully embraced prog rock.
His family said: “He was never happier than being on stage. He was just a singer in a rock’n’roll band and he adored performing with his band and son-in-law, Jon, and being able to continue sharing this music with his fans.

Mae West once said, "It's better to be looked over than to be overlooked." Donald Trump has never experienced the former unless by people who need their eyes checked, but he certainly experienced the latter when he wasn't even close to being in the running for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump was bitching about it for weeks not only as a diversionary tactic, but he is still mad that Barack Obama received one. He is still furious over that press corps dinner of years ago when Obama gently roasted him.

A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of his then or then-former mother-in-law back in 1981.

The DNA profile from that towel was uploaded to the Combined DNA Index System and matched a known offender: 73-year-old Danny Dupree, King’s former son-in-law. He was arrested two weeks ago on a capital murder charge.
“We met the victim's daughter, and she's an only child, and she was very grateful,” Isom said. “This was something that was very traumatic for her, obviously, and changed her entire life.”
This is the second case Isom and Detective David Grubbs have solved in the past year since the pair began meticulously reviewing 3,000 to 4,000 cold cases, some dating back as far as 50 years.
