Fan Comments
From a 2014 interview with a fan:
...one of the greatest stories I have in fandom was when I found out about The Moody Blues fandom, in '95, that there was a couple of guys who put out a fanzine that started in 1984. And so when I got in to it, I bought all the back issues, to get myself up to date, so to speak, on what was going on in the fandom. Not necessarily what was going on with the band, but what was going on with the fans. And this fanzine called Higher and Higher, after the opening song on the Moody Blues fourth album. Graeme Edges, the drummer, his poem, “Higher and Higher.” Something about, you know, four million butterfly sneezes, or something like that. I'd have to remember. This Higher and Higher came out quarterly, and I remember reading one of these letters from the fans that they would publish, because this is a fanzine. [1]
