ELO - Don't Bring Me Down... Bruce




ELO or more specifically Jeff Lynne have a very special place in my heart.

There's this early mystical experience, and about ten years later, there's this addiction which led to months and months of me listening, watching, rewatching, learning and trying to figure something out, and boy I learned a valuable symbolism lesson from the dance edit versions. It was just fated to be an ELO track. Nobody's found a substitute yet to match it.

On my ELO research travels I came across the Jeff Lynne interview embedded above, and I promise you it's the best and funniest mondegreen story I've ever encountered, and I hope it brings a smile to your face too.
