I love the song Mr. Blue...very Beatlesque.

It always brings a smile to my face.

This is the result of rampant drug use. I'm not saying anything pro or con, I had a lot of fun using drugs. The problem with that is, the things you enjoy on drugs are pretty stupid.

This band was very popular twenty plus years ago. They probably still tour on the national state fair circuit currently, and wish everyone was still tripping on acid. They sucked. One of the reasons why punk came into being was to combat this crap.

I thought the best thing Jeff Lynn ever did was with the Traveling Wilburys

ELO was good.

BUT --- ELP was way way better.

C'mon,' Gramps you're embarrassing me, I told you not to post on this forum. Stay off my computer.

BTW ELP sucked even worse than ELO, if that's possible.
