got to the mid-50s and that was a heat wave my friends.\u00a0 Right now we are in a warm hotel room in Asheville, North Carolina and there are cars running off the roads out there as I type these words.<\/p>\n<p>After Carrie and I checked in to our hotel, we went walking around and it was spitting snow in this mountain town.\u00a0 It is a beautiful place, I would suggest a visit to anyone.\u00a0 That big house is not far, the Biltmore Estate, and the Asheville Tourists play baseball in the summer and there are more unique eateries here than you can begin to name.\u00a0 Carrie and I settled on pizza after a wandering period.\u00a0 We ate slowly and watched football on a large television and just enjoyed each other&#8217;s company and occasionally enjoyed the particular sound of a young man&#8217;s unique, genuine laughter sitting near us.<\/p>\n<p>After our meal we went out to discover a light glaze of ice EVERYWHERE!\u00a0 Our hotel was two blocks&#8230;uphill.\u00a0 Where we could find dirt, we walked on it.\u00a0 Where we could find a crack in the sidewalk, we hoped for traction from it.\u00a0 In a town that had always been kind to us, we were wondering if we would make it up the hill without the aid of an ambulance.\u00a0 We lived to tell the story.\u00a0 I was worried.<\/p>\n<p>It was the year in microcosm out there.\u00a0 Never quite knowing what we were going to get and hoping and praying we would live through it.\u00a0 I am glad this night will be over and a new year will begin tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>These photos we from the sound side of Topsail Island at the end of the day yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/speaktherights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4160px) 100vw, 4160px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a mess.\u00a0 I knew it before the latest news.\u00a0 On December 13th The Moody Blues&#8217; nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was confirmed into Induction status and the ceremony is to be held April 14th in Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p>The Moodies had never been nominated before, even though they had been eligible for induction since 1989 and had never gotten so much as a smell before this year.\u00a0 Well, they got their nomination&#8230;and then they got more than what they had bargained for.\u00a0 In it&#8217;s pathetic infinite wisdom, just before Christmas, the Hall of Fame included Denny Laine to the line-up of members of the band to be inducted.\u00a0 That is a problem.<\/p>\n<p>Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Ray Thomas, Mike Pinder, and Graeme Edge were the first group of guys called The Moody Blues.\u00a0 They lasted from 1964 to 1966.\u00a0 Denny and Clint left.\u00a0 The other three recruited Justin Hayward and John Lodge in the fall of 1966.\u00a0 They released the classic Days of Future Passed album in 1967 and released six more albums through 1972.\u00a0 These are called the Moodies&#8217; core 7 albums.\u00a0 In 1978 Mike Pinder left the band.\u00a0 In 2002 Ray Thomas retired.\u00a0 But, those five guys belong to the classic Moody Blues line-up.\u00a0 I won&#8217;t argue that.\u00a0 I never saw Mike Pinder play with them.<\/p>\n<p>So the classic five member line-up finds out they are being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.\u00a0 Fine.\u00a0 Then the Hall higher-ups decide Denny Laine, who never played with Justin Hayward and John Lodge in the group, is to be included.\u00a0 Hogwash.\u00a0 The only hit song that old Moody Blues recorded was the single &#8220;Go Now&#8221; (a song written by someone else)\u00a0 and that is exactly what Denny Laine did.\u00a0 He left leaving the door open for Justin and John to join and the band changed their image and the way they approached music and starting writing their own songs&#8230;the songs The Moody Blues are famous for.\u00a0 You know&#8230;Nights in White Satin, Tuesday Afternoon, Question, Ride My See-Saw, I&#8217;m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band),\u00a0 Your Wildest Dreams, The Voice, I Know You&#8217;re Out There Somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>The real Moody Blues have had a career longer than 50 years of making great music.\u00a0 Denny Laine wasn&#8217;t around long enough to buy a new pair of shoes.\u00a0 But&#8230;Denny Laine did play in Wings with Sir Paul McCartney and that in itself holds more influence than the the two measly meaningless years he had playing with Ray, Mike, and Graeme.\u00a0 Graeme has said as much as that the &#8220;Go Now&#8221; Moody Blues were not the real Moody Blues.<\/p>\n<p>So on April 14th it is going to be odd there with Justin Hayward standing near to Denny Laine fifty-two years later and having never shared a stage before as band mates.\u00a0 I suppose the real question is: How dumb is that.\u00a0 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Dumb&#8230;that is how dumb.<\/p>\n<p>But that is where we are these days.\u00a0 This is the dumb age.\u00a0 Just watch the television news channels.\u00a0 But, if you do that, I suppose that means you have taken sides.<\/p>\n<p>I never expected to see such a divided country in my lifetime.\u00a0 Me, a life-long Republican, I am embarrassed by what I see out of the GOP these days.<\/p>\n<p>The problem, I think, is we are dealing with a leadership crisis.\u00a0 It won&#8217;t get better for a long time.\u00a0 The generation nearly two decades behind me, I will be fifty in March, will be the next group ready lead with brain cells in tact.<\/p>\n<p>The children of the Summer of Love are in charge now and they are as lost now as they were then.\u00a0 They argued in 1967 and they still argue and their vitriol has permeated and poisoned our country in the process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/speaktherights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/44.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2956\"
