based on Horace's info, I googled the Birmingham Broad Street stars they made Jeff wait a few years longer than Roy and Bev maybe that has something to do with ditching his hometown for Los Angeles? but come on, he had to be permanently in good graces after writing "Hello My Old Friend" www.timeout.com/birmingham/blog/who-are-the-31-stars-of-broad-streetwonder where they store the Gold Star while the sidewalk is torn up? you haven't pinched it for your front room have you Horace?

We have a Bevan Avenue that is no more than 500 yards from where I live (I've yet to see a certain forumite there though...)

saw a click bait type of article today "40 of the most valuable vinyl records ever" the photo used is from Xanadu and sure enough a particular version comes in at #16 on their list The title Xanadu frequently appears on another type of list — it’s been called one of the worst movies ever made. That doesn’t mean the promotional picture disc that featured the movie’s theme song isn’t one of the most sought-after records of all time. Rumor has it that Olivia Newton-John hated the way she looked in the picture printed on the front of the disc so much that she had the record company stop the pressing. Between 20 and 30 records survived. If you managed to sneak a copy away from Olivia Newton-John, you may be able to cash it in for $9,100. www.finance101.com/valuable-vinyl-records/25/topping the list is the first copy off the production line for the White Album fittingly, Prince's the Black Album also shows up near the top what about that Wu-Tang Clan album where only one copy was made (and has never been heard)?

An acquaintance of mine got married recently and took on her new husband's last name. What's her new name? It turned to Stone.

Horacewimp That's a high compliment! BSJ I couldn't help myself! I even asked her if she had heard of ELO or the song, and she hadn't. I tried to explain, and she smiled, laughed a weak laugh...Oh, well! At least you all appreciate the humor. My son said that it's definitely not a funny ELO joke, but who made him the expert?

I think it's brilliant, what a shame it's wasted on a non-ELO fan. If it was one of us we'd be boasting about it forever

I think it’s a good ELO joke, haha!
We had a pre-football game dance party yesterday, since it was our first game of the season. Basically just a bunch of us crazy band kids (mostly seniors) bopping around in the band room at lunch to oldies we were blasting from one of those tailgater speaker things, when Mr Blue Sky came on (now I wonder who would’ve cued that one up next...?) everyone started wildly hopping up & down screaming the words. New game day tradition? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
