reminder of that relationship with a Moodies fan, but I had left Jim, and not vice versa, and that had been the right decision. It's just that sometimes hearing Moodies music made me miss him, and it didn't help that he kept calling, even after he got married years later (which was really proof I'd made the right decision). I've always listened to such a wide variety of music and artists that I've rarely tied one type of music or one artist to particular events or people in my life. But Jim listened almost exclusively to the Moodies.

He told me he wasn't weird like some Moodies fans, though. It was from Jim that I first heard that the Moodies had some deluded fans who believed they were either aliens or time travellers here to enlighten humanity at a crucial time. And later I was able to confirm that, both running into some crazy fans myself online and hearing about even crazier ones from people who knew the band and their fandom. LOL. Some people did waaaaay too many drugs in the '60s and '70s...
