Moby Strikes Three Chords

One wonders what certain dead bluesmen would think of finally having their voices heard by millions of people, only to discover that the artist listed on the record is some guy named Moby (“What Do You See, Moby?” by Robert Hilburn, May 12). Let’s hope that Senor Moby’s much-flaunted version of Christianity doesn’t include a heaven where he meets these bluesmen, or there may be mucho trouble in paradise.

Incidentally, the last time I heard a discussion of happy and sad chords was by a member of the band Spinal Tap. Hmmm.

Minquan Tungwarapotwitan wrote complaining about your article on Moby and is obviously just jealous because Moby has a much simpler name. I can relate.

Moby? Take away the soulful and emotional elements he samples from other artists and you have ... John Tesh.
