Still funny no matter how many times I read this.

I felt a bit guilty at laughing at this, because as funny and clever as it was, it was also bit too cruel and dare I say it, uncomfortably close to the truth in places? As for the author, sounds a bit like Victor Lewis-Smith, to me.

I have now, literally, cried and howled with laughter. Some of that is just brilliant.

This ELO article never gets old, I always find new things every time I read it. I love it! I felt a bit guilty at laughing at this, because as funny and clever as it was, it was also bit too cruel and dare I say it, uncomfortably close to the truth in places? I felt guilty too but that's why it's funny! (All that ELO as a "guilty pleasure" stuff??). The guilt comes from the fact we feel so protective over our band but it's that same love that means we get the joke. The nearer the bone the louder the laughs. I don't think non-fans would find it half so funny as we do. Whoever wrote this must surely be a fan for them to go into so much detail. I have now, literally, cried and howled with laughter. Some of that is just brilliant. I swear I have never read this article to the end - I cry so much it's impossible.
Right, I'm off to listen to 'C'mon and Zoom Zoom Zoom-A-Zoom' now...
