The Hard Rock Park opening in Myrtle Beach will have a "Knights in White Satin - The Trip" ride.

I don't want to sound like just another whining baby boomer who misses the sixties, and I was never a big Moody blues fan, but -- to take an iconic song for a decade and a generation and turn it into a thrill ride at a theme park, that's just wrong. That would be like using Beatles songs for TV commercials or the Rolling Stones playing Vegas.

No. Don't tell me.

I asked the band what they thought about this very issue:
