...I'm doing the dishes. I think "Jeff Lynne probably never has to do dishes. SOMEONE DOES HIS DISHES FOR HIM. How can I love someone who never has to do dishes?"

...I'm painting my front door. I think "Jeff Lynne probably never painted his own front door. Maybe when he was very young he painted a door or a wall but ELO was having some really big success by 1975 so Jeff probably hasn't had to do his own painting since then. How can I love someone who never has to paint a door?"

Have any of you ever been in the middle of some boring or annoying chore during which your brain drifts off to think about Jeff Lynne?
And you think to yourself "Jeff Lynne never has to do boring or annoying chores."

I've thought while doing this, I bet Damey doesn't have to bother with the annoyance of grocery shopping.  |

I've thought while doing it, I bet Damey doesn't have to bother with the annoyance of grocery shopping. Evidently Bev and Roy still do their own. Jeff probably would do a little food shopping while vacationing in the south of France just for shits and giggles. He'd buy a baguette and then congratulate himself on being all down to earth.  |

And I reckon when Helmut83 's slaving over the latest Street Next Door release, he thinks to himself "I bet Jeff never had to spend hours in the studio, putting together a new song..." er, no, wait... |

...I look up at a cloudless blue sky. Oh, come on, elophile ! You are way too smart and ELO-savvy to fall into lazy "Mr Blue Sky" related cliches. Say "no" to the easy path!  |

...I look up at a cloudless blue sky. Oh, come on, elophile ! You are way too smart and ELO-savvy to fall into lazy "Mr Blue Sky" related cliches. Say "no" to the easy path! while it's true that I am very smart & ELO-savvy  it's also the honest truth that when I look up into a beautiful cloudless sky.... "dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum sun is shining in the sky...." just pops into my head and that makes me smile and I have Jeff to thank for that. Sorry to disappoint you but it's the truth and I can't help myself. |

That's OK!  It happens, sometimes the truth is just a corny commonplace and there's no way around it!  *cuts off a daisy, smells it's scent and runs agitating arms up in the air, full of joy -"life is beautifuuuuul!-* |

Haha, that's quite unlikely though, I'm not much of a life-is-beautiful guy. It's more likely that I'll step on dog shit, realize after I've spread it all around, and shout while agitating arms up in the air "I hate life!".  |

...I look up at a clock and it says 9:29...
Cue the juke box in my head... "It was 9:29... 9:29 Back Street, *Beat City..."
* Lyrics websites quote "big city"... it sounds more like "beat")

Cue the juke box in my head... "It was 9:29... 9:29 Back Street, *Beat City..." This same thing truly happened to me once when I saw it was the 13th of July... I thought "I'm going home, I'm gonna be there one of these mornings... Gonna break away on the thirteenth of july-iiiii..." |

, but we're OK. 
Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
