I still listen to CDs in my car. ELO's All Over the World album in my regular rotation. It's got a bunch of good songs. I don't skip any songs on that CD.

Olivia Newton John and ELO were the only good parts of Xanadau.

ELO songs are good . Period. Not just in movies.


Jeff Lynne at Wembley was a amazing concert.

Saw Jeff Lynne's ELO in Houston on his last two tours, 2018 and last month. 2018 tour was perfect. This year's tour was definitely a goodbye tour. Jeff stood for the entire show, but he played acoustic and let his lead guitarist take over.

Mike Stevens has been putting Jeff's bands together since Jeff and Richard Tandy (ELO pianist) had the big return in Hyde Park in 2014. Stevens' band Big Horizon now makes the core of Jeff's touring band, along with the string section and additional vocalists. As old as Lynne is, and with his health faltering some, Stevens and his bandmates do an amazing job of helping Jeff while not stepping on his vocals. When Lynne misses a beat or his voice goes out for a line or two, they step forward, but then step back as soon as Jeff is back in the groove. I really hope that Lynne can retire after the few UK shows left in 2025.

stumbled across this earlier this year and hands down the best documentary about Jeff Lynne and ELO. Most definitely worth your time to find it
