    Some facts about Jeff Lynne (ELO)...First, he is a very humble man, simply because this Music Genius is not interested in fame, the limelight, and money, he just loves to create great music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most versatile musicians ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. He didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco.
    Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world... 51 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas, festivals and Stadiums. During Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour, many reviews agreed in saying they are the best live Classic Rock Band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius( From Forbes Magazine and the Washington Post).
    ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music.
    He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and so many others...

What an absolute Class Act of a person as well as a Number One Artist - He did so much for so many and simply enjoyed doing it - a very rare and special artist/person

      Hello, Mr, Rendek,
      Yes, I personally AGREE 100% WITH YOUR OPINION.
      Yes, in Reality, it was a hard time to the Music Lovers of the whole of Eastern Europe, which was the Soviet Union, strong control and discrimination. This also applied to my native Lithuania. Many of our called the Socialist - Communist Bloc: "SOVIET LAGER".
      The Biggest Reprieve in the long 80's was - Radio Luxembourg !!! The station aired exceptionally Capitalist States Music Hits, which are terribly did not like the Soviet Union's political - ideological commanders!!! (The station was just a sip of enriching the human freedoms since Soviet propaganda)!!! An attempt was made to extinguish various ways - by preventing the Luxembourg radio broadcasting And sometimes we experience and very upset then. A good solution would be at home to have a Soviet production tube amp Radijola (Radio) with turntables 33/45 speed. My father had 'Chaika' ( "CAIKA" ) 'the name of the radio. Attached there to have coiled coil from natural copper wire and attach it to the ceiling :) Yes Yes, That is True!
      That's such memories from of my younger days currently ...
      It is unfortunate that what we have here parasieme and survive on their
      own, will never understand the Western European or Scandinavian people,

      Привет, г-н, Рендек,
      Да, я лично согласен на 100% с вашим мнением. Да,
      в самом деле, это было тяжелое время для любителей музыки в целом в
      Восточной Европе, который был Советский Союз, - строгий контроль и
      дискриминация... Это также относится и к моей родной Литве. Многие из наших называли Cоциалистического - Kоммунистического блока - "СОВЕТСКИЙ LAGER" (лагерь). Самая большая Надежда и Cпасение в 80-их был - Радио Люксембург !!! (Станция была просто глоток обогащения свободы человека от советскои Пропаганды...)
      Bещания в эфир - исключительно музыкальные хиты капиталистических государств,
      которые ужасно не нравится политически - идеологическим командирам Советского Союза!!!
      Была
      сделана попытка погасить различными способaми - от предотвращения
      радиовещания Радио Люксембург - иногда мы испытывали Эо и очень расстроенные эмоции тогда охватывает нас...
      Хорошим решением будет дома иметь советского производства ламповый усилитель Radijola (радио) с вертушек 33/45 скорости. Мой отец Имел "Чайка" ("ČAIKA" - Имя радио) Прикрепленный спиральный виток из природно медной проволоки и прикрепить его к потолку :)
      Вот такие воспоминания о моих младших дней в настоящее время ...
      ... Очень жаль, что то, что мы имеем здесь - писать и выживать самостоятельно -
      никогда не понять западным европейским или скандинавским жителям, таких городoв,
      как - Эдинбург, Глазго, Абердин, Белфаст, Дублин, Глазго,
      Манчестер, Ливерпуль, Лондон, Париж, Лион, Тулуза, Марсель, Ницца
      Барселона, Мадрид, Малага, Валенсия, Лиссабон, Порто, Турин, Милам,
      Венеция, Рим, Неаполь, Бари, Палермо, Гамбург, в Мюнхене, Бонн,
      Ганновер, Бремен, Кельн, Дюссельдорф, Дортмунд, Штутгарт, Цюрих,
      Женева, Вена Зальцбург, Антверпен, Брюгге, Роттердам, Амстердам,
      Копенгаген, Мальме, Гетеборге, Берген, Осло, Тронхейм, Тромсё, Северный
      Кейп, Стокгольм, Упсала, Хельсинки,
      Тампере, Оулу, Рованиеми ...
      Но я очень хорошо понимаю жителей городoв, таких как -
      Таллинн, Пярну, Тарту, Нарве, Санкт-Петербург, Москвa, Сигулда,
      Мадонна, Ригa, Даугавпилс, Елгавa, Юрмалa, Вентспилс, Лиепае ,
      Айзкраукле, Биржай, Паневежис, Шяуляй, Скуодас, Швянтойи, Паланга,
      Клайпеда, Паланга, Каунас, Вильнюс, Минск, Киев, Симферополь,
      Одесса, Львов, Белосток, Гданьск, Варшава, Люблин, Краков, Вроцлав,
      Франкфурт (Одер ),
      ...Фюрстенвальде / Шпрее (!), Берлин, Потсдам, Дрезден, Лейпциг, Прага,
      Братислава, Бухарест, Chisinov, Будапешт, София, Скопье, Белград,
      Сараево, Загреб, Кошице, Брно...
      (Я уверен, что оны поймет мои мысли)
      Думаю, что люди испытываeт
      положительные эмоции, воспоминания , когда читали ...

      Peebles Johnson It is what it is. For his fans, he was a genius. For others, vapid or boring or boilerplate rock. I thought he filled a hole in rock that can't be explained, even though, you're right, not everyone liked it.
