John Lodge is still with the group. He joined the group in May of 1966.
Graeme Edge said about John,
"John writes specialist kind of songs, we call him "Rocker" in the band. And he's the guy who always comes up with the "Ride My See Saw" and he always...he always manages. Although he does write very good ballads and very meaningful songs as well, he's the guy who can come up with "Sitting at the Wheel", and do it with conviction."
By the way, I don't think anyone is too old or too young to enjoy the Moody Blues.
