Moody Blues drop the suits after a brutal roast and swerve into psychedelia
John Lodge, bassist and singer, navigates the Moody Blues away from their fading R&B cabaret act and into a newly shifting psychedelic terrain, following a brutal dressing-room critique that slices through group delusion like a dull club knife.
Hayward remembers the insult vividly; Thomas cries, Edge concedes their mediocrity, and from the ruins of blue-suited revues emerges a band ready to orchestrate its stylistic detour—less punchline, more paradigm shift.
