Do the MB's use these chat rooms?

P-l-e-a-z! I got to thinking that maybe the real Moody Blues read the messages in these chat rooms. Course, maybe there's a gazillion sites and they couldn't possibly gab in them all, especially when they are on
tour.It's a delicious thought tho..hmmmmm!

LOL, it would be nice to think so!

I don't think they read any of the Chat Rooms, barely spending time at their own. The MB Forum here is a new venture, only recently added to the magazine of forums running through my Starship Titanic account.

The Lyrics Site is an older venture, originally started by me ('Lemonade Pop') at the now defunct The Music Vine.I was rather unimpressed with other lyrics sites, finding them either/all inaccurate, too gimmicky, or too full of opinion to be of real working interest. So I started my own Lyrics Site, deliberately simple, no opinion, and nothing about me. To my surprise, it quickly became the Internet's No. 1 site, which it still is.

So now I have added a Chat Forum to it, because I wanted something different from the big, intimidating Bulletin Boards that exist out there. These seem quickly to get bogged down in internal politics, bickering, in voting on who has the nicest smile, and so on. People coming new to them find topics with 300 replies, which the BB is very proud of, but which a newcomers finds just impossible to start into. So the Chat Forum here is deliberately lighter and faster, and I am quite happy for it to take a year to become successful. if I have five people chatting amiably here about The Moody Blues who have never chatted anywhere else on the Internet, I will judge that a success.

So, you see, Milliways is not an MB forum. It is The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe, something which only readers of Douglas Adams (author of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy) might understand.

Each forum has a fairly distinctive 'atmosphere' to it, and by that I include Blondie's forums (The Steam Room and The Galaxy Café) and Ed's forum (The Blue Shed). Milliways was built really as an experiment to see what could be done within the limitations of Network54's chat engine. It is a full-scale graphics test You are, of course, welcome in all of them.

This ain't the best number
I ever wrote
But I wrote it for you
And you alone.
Now these aren't the best words
That I ever spoke,
But I'll say them to you
And you alone.

Thousands of people
Dream songs every night
And these worn-out chords
Go on working for me
Still you keep on asking me
"Where is the Eden that we've dreamed of,
So many times we've been denied"
But we can say we're in love,
Oh yes. Oh yes.

Now thousands of people
Dream songs every night
But these worn-out chords
Go on working for me
But still you keep on asking me
"Where is the Eden that we've dreamed of,
So many times we've been denied"
But we can say we're in love,
Oh yes. Oh yes.

Justin could never have written this to me. He must have written to Moody Blue Blondie. Besides, everybody's told me the Moody Blues don't chat here.

Love Life! Live Love!

Guitars screaming ...

June 30 2003, 3:32 AM 

"Tried to sleep,
Woke up dreaming,
Guitars screaming
In the night.
Heard a voice.
Did you hear it?
Don't be afraid,
We'll be alright,
It's just a songwriter."
