Graeme Edge, the lone original member of The Moody Blues, has died. He was 80.
Frontman Justin Hayward confirmed the news in a Facebook post on the band's account, saying that “Graeme’s sound and personality is present in everything we did together and thankfully that will live on.”
Edge’s cause of death on Thursday has not yet been confirmed.
The drummer of the band, renowned for its sweeping ‘60s and ‘70s symphonic prog-rock hits “Nights in White Satin,” “Tuesday Afternoon” and “I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band),” co-founded the group in 1964 in Birmingham, England.
Throughout The Moody Blues’ history, Edge remained an anchor, both in sound and spirit.
David mentioned Angelo Mosca above, I remember watching King Kong Mosca in the old WWWF as a kid. Before he was a wrestler, Mosca played defensive tackle at Notre Dame. He was drafted into the NFL but chose to stay in his native Canada where he had a hall of fame career with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL. He was a hard nosed player and that legacy carried over with him in wrestling and in his personal life. In 2011, at the age 74, he attacked a fellow retired CFL player with a cane at a CFL alumni luncheon. Here is a great video of him heeling.

Moving away from the traditional nuclear family unit has really screwed up society.
This is one aspect we really don't grasp about China. Their nuclear family remains relatively strong by comparison. They encourage racial division here, but racial purity in China. They encourage homosexuality here, yet homosexuals in China just disappear. They encourage debt here and yet manage it in China centrally. They encourage education (and spying) abroad, but limit Western access to set aside areas, of which Wuhan is one, in China and have strict exclusion of foreigners in wide zones around sensitive areas. They are seeking every advantage in the coming war.
When America valued family, families valued not only a strong America, but a Superior one. Now they just want a handout so they can buy cheap crap made in China. We are way past our wake up call and still in a drugged stupor. The obituary is an appropriate place for these remarks.
And discernment is simple here. We now are governed by those who accuse and blame and want more stuff instead of those who want truth and provide for the common defense and maintain domestic tranquility by equal enforcement of law.
Quote: Per Golf Channel’s report, during a tournament in Memphis one of his opponents, Terry Dill, saw a spectator pick his ball up and discard it, only for him to receive death threats at his hotel.
Further to that and similar episodes, at the 1968 Monsanto Open, Pensacola, Elder was amongst many black players forced to change in the car park as members would not allow non-white players in their clubhouse.
Six years later, Elder was to win in Pensacola, paving his way to that first initiation to The Masters, and whilst he received “up to 100 death threats” he confirmed some 40 years later that, “Every green I walked up on, the applause was just tremendous, I mean every one of the people shouted, ‘Go, Lee! Good luck, Lee!’”
