The Moody Blues: A Question of Balance; Listening To Richard Brautigan; Aretha Franklin: Spirit In The Dark

MOODY BLUES' Question of Balance (Threshold, THS3)
I first heard of the Moody Blues early this year about five minutes before I was scheduled to interview them. A writer friend of mine called me up and confessed that he had somehow been coerced into the interview by the overzealous agents of some wily record company. He further disclosed that he knew nothing about the group and had little interest in them. Being unwilling to admit that I knew even less, I consented to go along.
