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.

Becoming Willing To Change






Quite a few conspiracy researchers don't like Russell Brand, and it wouldn't be the first time I've said something positive about him and lost an online acquaintance or even accusations of being a shill. 

I'm ok with that. I see the tattoo symbolism, the Pricy Perry Hollywood marriage, and after the breakup an affair with a prominent bloodline.

His work, however, speaks for itself. It's interesting and much richer than the trinkets mentioned above.

Her Majesty's A Pretty Nice Girl



Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she changes from day to day

I wanna tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a belly full of wine
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah
Someday I'm gonna make her mine
